    It was definately a time saver. I used his CMBO bmp's just as a rough guide for the pattern because they're usually different dimensions from their CMBB counterparts and you have to make allowances for that. Still, it saved a lot of the headache of making sure that the cammo patterns meet at the correct places along the bmp seams on the finished model.
  2. As long as the dimensions are compatible you shouldn't have any problems. They don't have to be the same size pixel-wise, but, for example, if the original is twice as wide as it is tall, then the new one will have to match those dimensions, even though it might be twice as large pixel-wise. You might have to rename the CMBB bmp to work in CMBO also. Just check that the orientation of the object in the new bmp is the same as the old one if you're swapping things like road tiles.

  3. Thanks! The ambush mod is almost done, but I lost a couple of hours of work last night. My computer has done this to me a couple of times in the last two or three weeks. I'll leave for awhile to take care of something else and after awhile the computer times out or goes on "standby" or whatever where the screen goes black. Trouble is, when I get back to it, it won't fire back up no matter what I do and I have to force it to shut down by holding the power button in. Then, I lose everything I was working on that wasn't saved before that point.

  4. Another Missing Links devotee,eh? I spend way too much time there drooling over the works of Mirko, Blackwell, and others that just do stunning work. There are really some talented modellers posting over there.

    There's a good chance I'll do a bicolor for both the G and H. I'm doing an ambush scheme already and possibly a late, late war "hard-edged" scheme, both for the J... so I may not get around to doing a bicolor for it, but I'll almost certainly do one for the mid-war Panzer IV's.

  5. These are posted over in the CMBB forum, but

    I figured since this was going to be a double-duty mod, meaning it would work for CMAK and CMBB, I thought I'd post pics here too. The traffic seems a lot higher here. I'm working on mods for the Panzer IV's G/H/ and J to correct the running gear and add some different cammo schemes. I started with the ausführung J and I think the tricolor version is close to done. It's based on some color plates I had of a 12.SS PzKpfw IV and another from 20.PD. I thought I'd post some previews here and get opinions, suggestions, criticisms...etc.

    Here's a few shots:

    Here's the "no Schürzen" option:

    And one more of a "missing Schürzen" option, although it looks kind of silly if you have more than one J and all of them are missing the same panels on both sides:
