Mr. Clark Posted January 2, 2001 Share Posted January 2, 2001 HAving seen maaaany gray Kubelwagens in movies and model/toy format, I wanted one. I also wanted to say I had once attempted a MOD for CM. The result... the gray kubelwagen. Besides coloring, the only real additions are that the headlamps are now "attached" to the sides of the car, rather than stuck on the fenders in a flat, unsee-able way. Also, the rear hatch and side doors were made a bit more detailed. (in my unique, new to MOD'ing way) I now have a lot of respect for MOD'ers... what a pain in ze buttocks! Weber notices a bullethole in the windshield of his shiny new Kubelwagen... Weber waits for his passenger to "drain the weasel." Weber gets plenty of time to examine his new headlamps while waiting for a drunkard to get out of his way... Weber decides to take a roadside nap on a lazy summer afternoon...

Maximus Posted January 2, 2001 Share Posted January 2, 2001 Not bad, actually. Fenders could use a bit "dirtying up", though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Clark Posted January 2, 2001 Author Share Posted January 2, 2001 Heh... actually I noticed that while spending what seemed like hours attempting to get these pics to work. I'll probably do that now... Or in the morning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manx Posted January 2, 2001 Share Posted January 2, 2001 Considering that you only found out what the kubelwagen's bmp numbers were a few hours ago, that ain't a bad first effort!.

Pvt. Ryan Posted January 2, 2001 Share Posted January 2, 2001 Fess up to what really happened in the last picture. Weber was drunk off his ass while tooling around in his spiffy Kubelwagon. Fritz was on his way to the latrine when Weber plowed into him. Weber then ran off Halle Barry style leaving poor Fritz for dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Weiss Posted January 2, 2001 Share Posted January 2, 2001 Hey, don't let it be your last. Not a bad product for a first try. One of the things alot of folks forget, is what I learned from the old model railroad days. Weathering. Rust, dust, mud, grease and grime do amazing things to models. Brings em to life. Keep at it my good fellow.

Mr. Clark Posted January 2, 2001 Author Share Posted January 2, 2001 I'm going to add some dust and dirt to the fenders and lower extremeties, and then I'll post a link in this thread for d/loading if anyone really wants it. (I've already "scuffed" up the fenders a bit) Pvt. Ryan seems to have uncovered the truth about Weber and Fritz, as Fritz did not report for duty this morning and empty champagne bottles litter the back seat of Webers new Kubelwagen...

Mr. Clark Posted January 2, 2001 Author Share Posted January 2, 2001 Okay, here is the link for the gray Kubelwagen, if anyone wants it: http://home.att.net/~ronin115/clarkkubel.zip I added Weber's bottle of champagne to the rear seat, and some road dust to the front, sides, fenders, and rear. EDIT: oh yeah, added German cross to side of vehicle. [This message has been edited by Mr. Clark (edited 01-02-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted January 3, 2001 Share Posted January 3, 2001 Mr. Clark, that looks great! However, most of the Volswagen Things I see around here are yellow or orange. Can you do one like that for my Venice Beach scenario? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Clark Posted January 3, 2001 Author Share Posted January 3, 2001 How about a "Tie-Dyed" funky 60's Volks-mobile? You also need the Beach bunny and bodybuilder troop mod for your scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoJo Posted January 27, 2001 Share Posted January 27, 2001 Sorry Mr. Clark, I didn't mean to steal the Jeep away from your shed, your other thread inspired me to work on the Jeep. Very nice work on the Kubelwagen, good work on the textures. I still hope you show us your Jeep mod though, I'd like to see it. -Mo ------------------ "For every soldier that died at Dieppe, ten were saved on D-Day" --Lord Louis Mountbatten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
