Yes, I hope it stays together. They're all owned by the foundation that he set up, so perhaps that will keep them as one collection. The place where I work has a connection to his family, so I thought at some point I might try to see if I could set up a tour. Oh well.

Of the amazing Littlefield Collection of military vehicles here in the Bay Area. He was only 59... didn't get to play with all those cool toys as long as he should have been able to. Ah, to be rich. Why am I not from old money, dammit!?

Hey, enough of the Habanero bashing! They need to be used in moderation, but they're pretty fantastic. They are definitely hotter than most anything else out there, but the heat doesn't last as long (really) in your mouth, and they have a wonderful floral fruity flavor that other chilies don't.
Try this. You'll like it: Charred habanero salsa
1 or 2 (depending on your pain threshold) Habanero chilies, seeded and stemmed
3 Roma tomatoes
2 cloves garlic
1/3 cup water
kosher salt to taste
On a heavy pan or griddle (a cast iron pan is perfect) roast chilies, tomatoes, and unpeeled garlic until all are brown, blistered, and soft. Using rubber gloves (I cannot stress this enough... god help you if you have Habanero oil on your fingers when you decide to rub your eyes or scratch your nads or something), remove the stems and seeds from the Habaneros. Chop tomatoes roughly, peel garlic, and put everything into a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.
Good with tortilla chips; even better drizzled over tacos made from Mayan chicken cooked in banana leaves (chicken pib), homemade tortillas, black beans, and pickled onions. Mmmmmm.

You might find the MacBook's low Video RAM might not support it. </font>Originally posted by gibsonm:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by AndrewTF:

No... it was GM. Ford was Ford. Both were (supposedly) nationalized by the Nazis before the war, but, rumor has it, that didn't let Ford and GM stand in the way of making a nice profit out of the situation.Originally posted by MikeyD:"The Germans used Fords!"
I'm no truck grog so fel free to slap me down, but wasn't Opel a Ford company back-in-the-day?

Thanks! You don't even want to know how much time went into most of those mods. I'm glad people are still enjoying them.Originally posted by David I:AndrewTF,
You are and will remain the Great and Powerfull!
Your uniforms are out f...ing standing. Your attention to detail and working around the limitations of the hard codes astounds me.
May Fortuna grant you the ability to buy another computer that will let you continue to provide real contributions to this game.
Yours,
DavidI
Actually it wasn't my computer, in the strictest sense, it was my work-issued laptop. The up side is that I'm getting a MacBook Pro tomorrow or Tuesday that already has Windows XP installed, so that may put me back on the CM bandwagon.

I think he has upgraded his mac to a new OS and CM will not run any more. </font>Originally posted by gautrek:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by patboy:

Got pictures of what you want?

Modding a greatcoat -- without it looking silly -- would involve altering the 3D model for the soldiers and we can't do that. Best we can do is padded winter jackets and so forth that are the same approximate length as the tunic so it can use the existing 3D model ok.

David, check your email...

I'm usually lurking here off and on.
Seriously, at this point if anyone wants to do anything to my mods go ahead. As long as people are enjoying them, that's the main thing. -
Do whatever you like!

Real life takes precedent. I'll try to wrap it up soon, especially since most of the work is done already.

Hey DavidI: I don't even have CMAnything installed anymore, mainly because I got a new G5 recently and can't boot into OS 9 anymore
. If I whip up some textures would you be good enough to test, package them up and release them? You've done such a nice job with my other mods that you've worked with -
You mean like this?

Those look good! If I have time I'll take a crack at the goggles.

That's a nice whitewash effect!

I'm fine with ads. If they help keep the resource available, and don't interfere with the usability of the site then why not?

Hey, that looks *better* than my Panzer IVJ mod!!! I hate you!!! :mad:

Use anything of mine you need.

Go get yourself a painting program (Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro; some masochists have been known to use MS Paint) and paint away. Use different blending modes to allow the underlying textures to show through. There are some modding tutorials out there on the Web. Zimorodok has a good one on his Web site: .Originally posted by Earl Grey:OK, I didn´t notice, actually. Maybe I should look more closely at the options. SO now I just have to work out how to add a camo pattern to your base textures. Any suggestions?

You're not mistaken. We're both right. The later early production Tigers had the escape hatch installed, so I chose to include it on this mod. You'll notice the green 501 Tiger mod has two pistol ports. It's also an option in the modders' kit version.Originally posted by Earl Grey:Actually, I don´t criticize much, but I think the textures are actually wrong in one aspect: Should there not be an additional pistol port instead of the escape hatch - or am I mistaken gravely?

For the record, I am not nor have I ever been "AstroCat". Just sayin'.
Anyhow, I think AstroCat may have packaged up some of my mods. It's been a while so I don't really remember. Nice to see the mods mentioned, though.
