AndrewTF Posted June 10, 2001 Share Posted June 10, 2001 While you're waiting for Maguas sure-to-be groovy Normandy buildings, I've whipped up a hi-res FJ uniform mod to tide you all over The mod pack includes options for not one, not two, not three, but FOUR--count 'em--FOUR different helmet textures: plain Feldgrau, Feldgrau with cool chickenwire covering, oversprayed tan, and field-applied tri-color camo. I also included a set of tropical-issue pants for use in balmier climes :cool: I'm sending them to Tom and Manx, so pick them up there in a little while. Until then, some screenies-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzman Posted June 10, 2001 Share Posted June 10, 2001 Nice. But was up with the ones with brown legs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewTF Posted June 10, 2001 Author Share Posted June 10, 2001 They're my attempt at Luftwaffe tropical issue tan trousers, as worn in Italy and other areas outside of Northern Europe. As I recall there's at least one Italian FJ scenario out there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer Leader Posted June 10, 2001 Share Posted June 10, 2001 Why are the top and bottom halfs of the pants different from each other? Are they camo knickers with field colored leg warmers? But besides that strangeness, they are excellent, and a very good rendition of camo. I also like the chickenwire!

Michael Dorosh Posted June 10, 2001 Share Posted June 10, 2001 These are gorgeous. Has anyone done tan water pattern smocks or camo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[ 06-09-2001: Message edited by: Panzer Leader ]<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> The camouflage blouse the FJ wore extended towards mid-thigh level. At that area I believe they strap/button up in the inside thigh portion of the legs, resulting in that unique look on the top portion of the FJ's CMBO's textures. Someone months ago did a low-res but historically correct FJ set, but since this is Hi-res, I'm going with this ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewTF Posted June 10, 2001 Author Share Posted June 10, 2001 Thanks for explaining, Warmaker. I guess the camo pattern on the leg may look a little strange, but if you look as a photo of a paratrooper jump smock, it is historically correct. Once you get used to the look you won't go back. I have to give a nod of appreciation to Panzerjager (Paul Klussmann), who used this technique to simulate the long paratrooper jump smock in his lo-res mod, which I downloaded from CM Outpost and used as a model for my mod.

Rupert_2 Posted June 10, 2001 Share Posted June 10, 2001 AndrewTF you wouldn't be thinking of doing a grey-green jump smock would you or 1st pattern smock as it's called ?? As that would be cool ! Keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewTF Posted June 10, 2001 Author Share Posted June 10, 2001 Hey, a grey-green smock WOULD be cool I'll have to work on that one when I'm done with my current top-secret project(s). It should be pretty easy to cobble one together, especially since it doesn't have a camo pattern! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewTF Posted June 11, 2001 Author Share Posted June 11, 2001 * DOUBLE BUMP! * I sent the mod to Tom and Manx. Tom was having some problems with the files but I re-sent them and they should be resolved by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manx Posted June 11, 2001 Share Posted June 11, 2001 Andrew...just got round to looking at the files you sent. I'm afraid every time i try and open one of the BMP files it comes back saying "not a valid bmp file format". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewTF Posted June 11, 2001 Author Share Posted June 11, 2001 Manx I'll have to send them to you individually. It appears that the BMP files were corrupted when I compressed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarze Posted June 11, 2001 Share Posted June 11, 2001 WOW Andrew just wondering, are these Historical Uniforms? anyway im in love with this mod! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewTF Posted June 11, 2001 Author Share Posted June 11, 2001 Yes, the uniforms are historic, in a generic kind of way . They are wearing splinter pattern B (or pattern A, I honestly can't remember at this point) jump smocks and feldgrau or tropical issue FJ trousers. The helmet textures were gathered from a variety of sources, and are all reasonably historically accurate. I thought that the stock CM FJ textures were a bit on the blue side. I always liked them but felt they looked a little funny, especially with all the great subdued mods out there. While surfing the net I ran across a photo of this late-war splinter B (A?) smock and decided to make a mod based on it. After a lot more research I eventually came up with this mod.

AndrewTF Posted June 11, 2001 Author Share Posted June 11, 2001 Oh yeah--I also added some Fallschirmjäger-specific equipment like the ammo bandolier slung across the neck and the canvas gas mask bag in place of the standard metal canister.

Schwarze Posted June 11, 2001 Share Posted June 11, 2001 does the Helmet BMP over-write the Regular german helmet, i mean the Heer will look like helmet netting too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewTF Posted June 11, 2001 Author Share Posted June 11, 2001 Yes, ALL German helmets will have the same textures. Of all the patterns included, the chickenwire still looks cool on all the German helmets, but looks kind of bizarre on the Gebirgsjäger caps!
