Guest highlife Posted March 20, 2001 Share Posted March 20, 2001 Mace, I am interested in the URL for those books you mentioned. Thanks Tiger, I really like that one. Nice tones to the camo and I particularly like the way you handled the Zimmerit pattern. Looks more like the pictures than the sort of hyper detailed look on some mods. Hope I can get it somewhere.

Pvt. Ryan Posted March 20, 2001 Share Posted March 20, 2001 Tiger: Bingo!!! That's the one I've been looking for. But just a little constructive criticism: Maybe you could brighten the green and brown a bit - they seem a little too muted. Also, did you camo the gun barrel? It's hard to tell. And obviously the wheels are different because it's a different variant. But I REALLY like it! [This message has been edited by Pvt.

Kitty Posted March 20, 2001 Share Posted March 20, 2001 Originally posted by Pvt. Ryan: Kitty, I love your King Tiger, but it rarely shows up in the games I play. It would be great if you could do a Tiger I mod on par with the KT so your work could get more screen time. Thank you. It's funny you should mention that because I've already started one. =) Kitty ------------------ Hamsters at War!

Warmaker Posted March 20, 2001 Share Posted March 20, 2001 Cool, the Big Cats are getting even more treatment. Tiger, that, erm... Tiger I of yours looks good. Keep it up! BTW, are you some kind of machine?

Guest hal9000 Posted March 20, 2001 Share Posted March 20, 2001 Looks great Tiger! I'm still using your Zimmerit mod, but I think my Tigers are due for some fresh paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Martin Cracauer Posted March 20, 2001 Share Posted March 20, 2001 If you guys say "ambush pattern", do you mean any camouflage pattern? If not, could you please explain the difference? If yes, George Forty's book has a Tiger I in a camouflage pattern on page 128 of the German edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forever Babra Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 Originally posted by Martin Cracauer: If you guys say "ambush pattern", do you mean any camouflage pattern? If not, could you please explain the difference? No. Ambush scheme is a very unique and specific pattern. It uses a tan dappling effect over an otherwise conventional three-colour camouflage scheme (Red-brown, dark yellow, green). The dappling resembles patterns of light, and makes the vehicle harder to spot when in foliage. Hence the name.

Kitty Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 Originally posted by Tiger: Gettting closer to done This looks like it might turn out to be one of your best ones so far. Tiger, I'm curious to know how you go about making your mods. ie, do you draw them "freehand" from pictures or do you cut and paste , etc. from photos? Also, do you try for historical accuracy or just do what you think is asthetically pleasing? Kitty ------------------ Hamsters at War!

gunnergoz Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 That's not a mod, Kitty. Tiger doesn't like to advertise it but he has a time machine and routinely goes back to WWII and takes color snapshots of stuff, then shamelessly passes them off as his mods.

I've seen a ton of Panzer 1/35 & 1/16 scale models in the Ambush scheme. Just the way they look, especially the Panthers makes them look wicked. Throw in some infantry with camouflage smocks and it just looks that much cooler. IIRC, doesn't Germany's current camouflage pattern for their uniforms greatly resemble their WWII predecessors? ------------------ "Uncommon valor was a common virtue"-Adm.Chester Nimitz of the Marines on Iwo Jima [This message has been edited by Warmaker (edited 03-21-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 Tiger, I was reading about how zimmermit was not applied to the armor skirts and the turret bustle (correct terms?), so you may want to see if you can remove the zimmermit texture from those areas. Someone correct me if I am wrong. Looking great so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 Is that Tiger tank (from Tiger) supposed to be in the ambush camo scheme, or are the spots the last things that get added? Would be cool to see a Tiger with a pattern like the Panther shown in that color plate. Nice looking mod, Tiger, as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 Lee, the original point of this thread was that the Tiger was never (officially) painted in the ambush scheme. The Panther above sports the ambush scheme. Tiger's Tiger is wearing the tricolor camo from the Spring 2001 collection of active wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
