No I haven't but does sound pretty cool. Mind you I'd then have to add -

Here's a thought, though I haven't tried it... yet.
Take your tabletop terrain and view it under a blacklight. Then get paints
that have a similar look under the blacklight and paint your camo to match the
patterns of your terrain.
Players come into the room looking at your strange paint job in regular room
light. Right before you start the game, turn the lights off and turn on the
blacklights.
Just my 2 cents (US).

This is a cool idea Greg, and the same could be applied to
KV ships, thought the best cammo would be boring black/grey in
blacklight. Maybe this is the rationale behind the shimmering purple and green
KV paint jobs in MT, they'd look good in UV so would be a 'come on if you
think your hard enough' paint job for blood lust enraged KV kaffers.
This also resurrects the most excellent black light, red light and mood music
thread.
My games have the ambiance of the night club in 'fire walk with me' but with
UV blacklight not strobes.
I've got an 18" blacklight flourescent I bought from the local disco suppliers
as was, at Cambridge cattle market, 8 years ago.
The red light is another 18" sun-light flourescent wrapped in
several layers of red letraset OHP film I got a bundle of for nothing. The
heat resistant stuff handles a flourescent's surface temp, no worries.

If you have a good theater supply place around, you can get "lighting gels"
which are intended to go in front of klieg lights. If you don't have a good
theater supply place around, ask your local school drama department.

The correct response to your wife is "So it's a good thing I married a woman
who's beautiful without makeup."
