Shadow 1st Hussars Posted January 21, 2001 Share Posted January 21, 2001 I still need to add a couple of things, but here it is so far. ------------------ No bastard has ever won a war by dying for his country. They won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.

Forever Babra Posted January 21, 2001 Share Posted January 21, 2001 Not sure if the bitmap is shared, but is it possible to correct the suspension to earlier M3 Lee type? Looks good though. ------------------ Massada Lo Tipol Shenit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

109 Gustav Posted January 21, 2001 Share Posted January 21, 2001 Looks great. Is the red and white patch a Canadian flag? If so, will it look better in the game? ------------------ Well my skiff's a twenty dollar boat, And I hope to God she stays afloat. But if somehow my skiff goes down, I'll freeze to death before I drown. And pray my body will be found, Alaska salmon fishing, boys, Alaska salmon fishing. -Commercial fishing in Kodiak, Alaska Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Dorosh Posted January 21, 2001 Share Posted January 21, 2001 I put up a low-res Universal carrier mod; am currently working on high res - Hussar, or anyone, do you know much about Canadian paint schemes? The Wasp Carrier I inspected from the Guthrie collection, as well as most softskins in his collection, were more brown than green. The Mickey Mouse camo on your Sexton was used by the Brits, and I think also by certain Canadian vehicles types - the Sexton may have been one of them - but was the Mickey Mouse as common as brown? Any idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be interested in seeing what you come up with, Shadow Hussars... I would definitely lose the red/white/red though - Ken Bell has some nice photos of Sextons in his photo books (he was a photographer in NW Europe in WW II).

Michael, Excellent site you have, I bookmarked it right away. I thought of doing a universal carrier MOD in the style of my Ram Kangaroo MOD as well because I felt that especially the support vehicles in CM need a little more attention. I´m no specialist on canadian armor and everything you have on markings of both 22 Armored Regiment (Canadian Grenadier guards) and Lake Superiour Battalion or 28th Armored Regiment (British Columbia) and/or Alonquin Infantry Battalion is highly appreciated. Drop me a line. cheers Helge ------------------ Sbelling chequed wyth MICROSOFT SPELLCHECKER - vorgs grate! - The DesertFox - Email: TheDesertFox@gmx.net WWW: http://www.geocities.com/desertfox1891 [This message has been edited by TheDesertFox (edited 01-20-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow 1st Hussars Posted January 21, 2001 Author Share Posted January 21, 2001 I always thought tiger's Sherman Jumbo and Firefly had way to much extra track, and that no tanks would actually carry that much extra track. I was wrong. ------------------ No bastard has ever won a war by dying for his country. They won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.

Doesn't look half bad either. ------------------ No bastard has ever won a war by dying for his country. They won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.

I´m looking forward to your Sexton. Then we only gonna have to MOD the Archer and finally the british/canadian/polish stuff is done.

If you look at the new history of the South Alberta Regiment, they have lots of pictures of Shermans plastered with extra track. It wore down the drivetrains, but most Sherman crews figured it was more important to make it as far as the next bend in the road without getting brewed up, rather than worrying about adding 500 miles to their vehicle's life.

Shadow 1st Hussars Posted January 21, 2001 Author Share Posted January 21, 2001 ok....before i release it, are their any options you mod whores want?

Yeah - come up with a way to put CT in front of the vehicle's war department number so that it looks the same reversed - ie on both sides of the vehicle! What about Allied air-recognition panels (ie the orange ones)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hearing conflicting views on what the colour they were. My tiger is going to have a nice big swastika flag on the back if I ever get around to finishing that. I have so much stuff half done it's not even funny. ------------------ No bastard has ever won a war by dying for his country. They won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.
