Thanks COG.The links were working when I added them, but when I refreshed the page the images disappeared .Copying and Pasting the URL works fine for me. Anyway, I'll soon upload them to COG's MOD database.

Tracer, nice snow effects but I agree with COG that you should remove the green parts from it. Emm, btw I think you are a bit mistaken here.I haven't done any PzI mods so far, so the mod you used must be some other's work.

Ok, I found a way to host some pics.Thanks MrNoobie! These are two versions of the PzIV g early.A winterized and a dark yellow over dark grey one which replaces the tricolor original. *Sorry for this but the links dont seem to work. Coming soon... Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year Everyone! [ December 26, 2002, 12:55 PM: Message edited by: panzermartin ]

Excellent work Tom!I really can't imagine a better splashscreen for CMBB.

MrNoobie, a MOD thread is a great idea.I'm currently working on some mods but unfortunately I dont have a place on the net to host some preview pics:(

WoW!I love the drab dark green look of your tanks.My favourite are the KVs.Thank you for your Xmas presents MrNoobie:). Happy holidays to you too!

Wow JuJu!Is there an interior behind these doors?!?Because it looks like there is:)!Great work!

Excellent work!These have been made with extreme attention to detail.Both are beautiful but my favourite is the L model.The camo scheme is a pleasure to the eye.Merci Monsieur Saturnin!

Great pics Bruno!Thank you very much for your help. They have already given me some new modding ideas.

Thank you all for your kind words Glad you like my non-winterized technique too In these ones I played with the lighting effects in a try to give them a more 3D feel.Since there is no real time lighting feature in CMBB, I thought that I should add an artificial lighting effect by enhancing the contrast between the lighted and shadowed areas of the vehicles. This is more obvious with the SU-100 which I hope you wont find it too much out of place in a foggy battle [ December 11, 2002, 10:07 AM: Message edited by: panzermartin ]

I thought it was time to take a break from whitewashing tanks and I tried my hand in these ones: Available at http://www.cmmods.com

Louis, glad you like my work .For the whitewash effect I use a variety of default textures that are included in PsP Pro 7. Dimitris [ November 29, 2002, 07:43 AM: Message edited by: panzermartin ]

Howdy Nolloff!Don't worry I'm still around m8 . I'm really touched by your devotion . It's been no more than three days since I posted my last MOD and you are already missing my work . What more can a modder ask to be happy? As for your proposal, I can only say that I'm not ready yet for such a big step in my life . Please,in response, accept my last mod as a present from me (Not sure If you checked it, so here is a preview) Again,a big thanks to all of you, for downloading my mods.

Thank you fellas.Glad you like my work . Soon I'll have most of my mods in CMMOS format but till then, I'll keep on posting non-CMMOS mods.Btw, due to the BMP renumbering of the V1.01 patch my Panzer IVg winter MOD will now appear on the Panzer IVF2 model . Cheers, Dimitris

I just posted this whitewashed T34/85 M43 at the MOD database: http://cm.cozog.com Hope you like it

A big thanks to all of you.I'm very happy that my modding work makes your CMBB gaming experience more enjoyable It wont take long(I hope) till you have the CMMOS versions of my mods(propably improved and with additional options).

Thank you fellas MrNoobie, I just downloaded the CMMOS but so far I have only read the instructions for converting the files.I'll soon attempt to convert them though.How about you?

Just uploaded this whitewashed PzIVg at the MOD database.Hope you like it. get it here: http://cm.cozog.com/

Hey Tracer, I'll try to help a little, although I believe there are more experienced modders than me here. So, let me explain my winter technique in short.I dont know everything about PsP 7 just some basic things. Firstly I convert the image to grey scale.Then I apply an overlay layer with 90-100 opacity using white color(I use some texture pattern for the "airbrush" in order to get that random result). If its needed I apply a second overlay layer(usually using a different texture).Then I switch to 24bit color depth and work again with overlay layers with dark browns brick reds etc for shadowing and rust effects. I play a lot with colors but some of them are standards in the custom pallette.Detail is important but IMHO shadowing and lighting are the key parts to make your model look 3D.This means that you have to brighten the horizontial surfaces and darken(in a smooth way) the vertical ones and those that are being shadowed by objects(eg shadowing the gun mantlet just beneath the gun barrel). Hope this helps a bit

Nice work Joe.I'm glad that my tips helped you.Just some advice. You can use another overlay layer with a dark brown and opacity 50-60, to sharpen the details and add depth to the textures.They look a bit flat IMHO. Add shadows to the lower parts of the tank with a gentle and smooth way(remember that snow reflects a lot of light towards the shaded lower areas). Study some tank photos in order to improve your lighting and shading.Hope this helps P.S if you want to post your pictures here, at the preview picture of your mod at CM database, click and copy the url from the properties of the jpeg or gif.Then paste it here as an image in your post.(see Instant UBB Code below the text window) [ November 19, 2002, 09:08 AM: Message edited by: panzermartin ]

The PzIIIHdeck.zip is the replacement bmp for my non-corrected PzIIIH winter mod which is no longer hosted I think.Thanks again for hosting my mods.

Hehe Oddball .I'm glad you like my mods!Maybe I can make some panzer mods with holes from russian guns for you and and the other Red army's fans out there(I'm a fan too, although my nick is panzermartin ). Well, so far I have made two winterized panzers, which you can find at the MOD database, but I intend to make some more in the future.Hope I will have something new soon.

A small update now, to thank you all for your response and good words. A whitewashed T70 light tank(Andreas you can put a tick on your list now ). Available at: http://cm.cozog.com/ This one I had it almost done anyway.I use it a lot in QBs(which btw arent going very well since I started this new hobby ) Andreas, I have read about CMCM2 and although I am not aware of the details, it sounds a great idea overall.Time permitting I will attempt to winterize some of the vehicles listed.PZIIIJ PZIVs HT's and T34s are some of the ones I would like to mod in the future. Cheers Dimitris [ November 17, 2002, 09:18 AM: Message edited by: panzermartin ]

After three winterized mods, there was little paint left for covering a whole tank.So I ended up with a hastily whitewashed T34 M43(late). You can find it(as usual)at http://cm.cozog.com/ [ November 17, 2002, 09:14 AM: Message edited by: panzermartin ]

Thank you all for your kind words This one is a bit more dirty than the previous ones and more subdued too.Hope you find it good in game too.
