The Chaffee is Fernando's. I'm not sure it was ever posted for download. Perhaps he'll make it available soon as it is first rate. It looks nice beside Magua's haltracks. He may even have a Pershing but I haven't been able to confirm that.

A motley crew.
Yes, there's not much consistency between camo approaches. Adding snow (not camo) on a skin is tough!
Magua's Halftracks and Fernando's Chaffee are my favorites. NOTE, I haven't installed the Moleck/Bergman winter mods yet. I intend to do that once I finish this post.
I'll take anybody's allied winter mod over a non-winter skin any day. I can live with the mixed results. In due time, I'm sure more and more winter mods will be added to the mix and you should find enough that meet your tastes.

Max:
By doing this Stug Mod, and my previous Panzer (below), I hope to blend into the sand just long enough to grab one of them Bergman/Molek mods. I can't wait until that Sherman and Stuart have been captured.

Yes, I'm preparing for warmer weather. It will soon be here. Palms, an oasis, cool nights ...
If you want to be ready, pick this up at Big Mo'shttp://www.angelfire.com/ns/mocm/index.html
He's not posted it yet.

Nice article! Hats off to BTS for allowing the gamers some control over the skins.
There is only one other game that I was this fun ... SL of course. But heck, CM has blown by that old memory.
Ever trying drawing a camo. Panzer on a 1/4 inch square piece of cardboard. Just kidding.
Again, nice article E.D.

Hey,
Tiger, you continue to amaze me. Both in terms of the incredible quality and the mass production capability. That suspension is a major improvement!

Were the Pats the last wild card team to make it to the big game?

21 Ravens - 14 Giants
I've got to take the locals on this one.
Go Balmore! (t)

This winter mod is holding a few bitmap slots warm until something better comes down the road.
Mojo, you out there?

All above this post will get a copy via e-amil. All others, MOJO asked/has permission to post on MO's Combat Mission site. Keep and eye out. Thanks.
Max, pal, appreciate you tweaking the photo to show. I'm just a lazy sob. I don't like waiting for photos to load when I've already seen them once. Thanks. I'll send it your way.

A two tone paint scheme, have a look see:

If interested in a copy e-mail me at cscout2000@yahoo.com

Any interest in a Winter Pershing? I didn't invest much time in it. I figure Moleck will eventually winterize some phenom Bergman Pershing in the months to come.
Until then:

Let's just say that Ricky Martin screwed up my Thursday last week. Not really, I left early. Fortunately, I had a good excuse and didn't have to exercise liberal leave. Wouldn't have been happy had I had to go liberal.
-
Did you make the minefields invisible?
I'd be interested in trying EFOW.

Turret Ring and above, thanks for the feedback. It's in the mail.
Others, it's been forwarded to Madmatt.
Not that I like this Hotchkiss mind you, I just got tired of that paint job.
The buckets on the side of the turret are for the bucket brigade as these little ones roast quickly.
-
I've tinkered with the original Hotchkiss.
I've used the same camo pattern but recolored the camo to a two tone paint scheme instead of the three tone.
for a look see:
http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=1437394&a=10778010&p=38703168
I also pasted the suspension from a Somua onto the side view. Bit unrealistic as the Somua was a medium tank and the Hotchkiss was a light tank. However, as there is no Somua in the game, this was the next best thing.
for a look see:

the real thing:

If there's alot of interest, I'll send it off to CMHQ for consideration.

Hey make sure the allied version has the ultra secret flying fish radar finder. We will not allow those German fish to invade our shores. It will be our finest catch.

Mike or anybody else:
Am I doing something wrong? I get the following error message: "The data that the plug-in requested did not download successfully."

Thanks Tiger. Man, short order mods. Ah, I'll have two Marder's, heavy on the weathering, with a side of SS smocks. Oh, and can I have a winter tree base separate.
Hmm, maybe we could set up a "browse" thru mod service while you wait.

Tiger??? More like Cheetah - Fast as lighting.

Here are two interesting webpages I came across that show sandbags, tracks and logs employed for additional vehicle hardening.
This one shows extensive use, by Sherman / Firefly, of spare tracks and to a lesser extent sandbags:
http://www.cgo.wave.ca/~sbeldam/main11.htm
This one shows logs utilized by Finnish Stugs:
http://www.achtungpanzer.com/stug.htm
I was searching to see if I could find any photos showing the M24 employing sandbags. I had no luck and could find no narrative references. I suspect it was not used on this light tank. Consequently, this mod is probably very unrealistic not to mention ugly:
http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=1437394&a=10778010&p=37350787
Until someone mods a really nice Chaffee, I've been using these sandbags to coverup an original texture that has grown old IMO. Perhaps Bergman/Moleck could mod a nice Chaffee to match their Shermans/Stuarts?
-
What Max said - Old Dog's grass and DD's Trees.
Stuka also is right on - Panzertruppen's buildings.
-
I thought I'd resurrect this old post to raise a question. I've seen numerous photos of Shermans, and even some Stuarts, with sandbags. Does anyone know whether Chaffee's employed sangbags?
I've modded this and I'm wondering if it is totally unhistorical:
http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=1437394&a=10778010&p=37350787
Note the effect of the sangbags is too flat for my liking but I needed a change from the original dark paint job. At least until Bergman and Moleck mod us a real nice one.
I was also wondering why the Chaffee doesn't have the .50 cal on it. Seems every picture I've come across shows it.
Lastly, does anyone know what year the "short" skirt was added?
-
I updated the pic. It now shows the Stug with and w/o side panels. It looks good from afar, but not that good up close. It's also LOW-RES. If you have Tiger's Stug's, you'll probably be disappointed.
MOD - Now that I've seen Tiger's ...

I think I'll go back and add a (1) in front of these files and make them a winter set. I'll pass them to Mojo tomorrow. HAT'S OFF TIGER. I can't wait to see your halftracks.
