    That I don't deny. But on similar topic I could swear this is the Justicarrot in this pic: nw-gam-waf.jpg

    Caption reads: A stowaway on the North West is none other than the Grand Army Man paddling to Toledo, OH. He's attending the 42nd Annual convention of the Grand Army of the Republic (Civil War veterans)in Aug. 1908.

    {_UX notes: The North West was a car ferry on the Great Lakes. Among other things, " The boilers were so dangerous that it was hard to keep engine room crews"}.

  2. Good stuff Pat. They blend in a bit nicer with the AK 251's that I have now. Care to take a stab at the 250/11 Italy/ETO version? (or David I if you’re reading). I think its the only HT (Italy) that hasn't been modded yet. I took the stock model and changed out the balkenkreuz but thats as far as I got. BMP starts at 115240.

    Pic of the 250/11 in company of other 250's done by David I (which I grunged up a little):

  3. I stumbled on this by accident (an article in a local online newspaper unrelated to this subject) but it might be of value to scenario/map making folk:

    (click on the red link within the article) WW2 Situation Maps June 6, '44 - July 26, '45

    ~Its hard to link for some reason within the site but if explore a bit you can find different time periods etc.

  4. Praise the ______!,an OS X battlefront game. Now.. to see whether my Quicksilver can handle it is another matter (800DP, 1.5GB RAM, w/ATI 9000 [VRAM 128MB]. I realize I'm a bit under spec but I'm going to give a go anyway.

    Looks good from what I can see so far. The biggest leap in the art work subsequent to CMBO was the stock arts appreciation of naturalistic lighting to depict form rather than bmps that resembled coloured flat plans.

    That would be one way to describe it :D , the chiaroscuro bit. Any effect you see is probably largely accident as I hack my way thru Photoshop and the modding process. I’m a Mac person (like you), but I struggle with the modding tutorials I ‘ve found because they all seem written for PaintShop Pro. Be nice to have one written for Ps. I have all the very nice mods you’ve done btw. You and Gautrek are the dust kings in my book.

    At the moment all the modding I’ve done is for my own enjoyment as my creations don’t seem up to snuff yet. If I find a model that isn’t dusty/grimy already via CMMods I’ll usu. add some wear of some kind for realism sake, smuge the decals etc. for the same reason.

    Recently I’ve played some scenarios featuring the German Semovente M43 da 105/25 and the Pz M15/42 738(I) that looked like plastic models/fresh-out-the-factory. Italy only had them for a short while before the Germs got them so I modifed them slightly.

    I -sort of- borrowed patboys camo for the M15/42.
