Blanar Posted March 23, 2003 Share Posted March 23, 2003 Ok, I was in the middle of a heated battle the other night and just as things are getting tight, my reinforcements arrive on the scene. Cresting the hill, in the nick of time, comes a factory fresh Panther D, still with that new car smell! Well, the enemy just laughs at this obvious rookie in their midst and my troops panic as they see help in the form of a never seen action tank. This wouldn't do, so a few hours in Photoshop later and we have this: Guaranteed to make the greenest crew look fierce! Pick it up at a CMMODS near you!

MikeT Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 Hussars, if you are talking about a CMMOS mod I have already done it and if interested will send it to you. The work is beautiful. I had considered adding more options to the mod such as divisional symbols and maybe kill rings. Might just do that after all.

No, I litterally mean that it is my first non-terrain/inferface mod that I have installed onto CMBB . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 Really!! You have missed out on much. There are some great mods out there. I should know I have worked on nearly 80% of them. MikeT 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou2000 Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 Blanar, Nice looking cammo job .... are the turret numbers optional ? I only ask because somehow they just dont seem to fit with the rest of the paint job. Better than I could ever do though ....

Blanar Posted March 24, 2003 Author Share Posted March 24, 2003 Yes, numbers are optional. I couldn't decide if I liked them or not, but since the D model has both sides of the turret as seprate bmp's and I didn't have to number it 808 or 888, I had to include them.

MikeT There are some great ones, but the ones that come with CMBB suit me just fine, even back in 2000 the only thing I modded on CMBO was terrain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illo Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 Great MOD blanar! Maybe something OTW for later panthers too? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogdan Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 Great mod Blanar ! This is the first non-CMMOS mod I have installed. And this is an decisive argument for me. You can trust me when i say your picture impressed me ! It also makes me lucky, as soon as I have installed your mod, my regular Panther D destroyed a SU85 at 700 meters with its first shot... My PBEM opponent is not so pleased What about this ? So nice ! Best regards to all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 Ah, now this is EXACTLY the kind of German armor camou mod I've been waiting to see! More! More! More! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanar Posted March 25, 2003 Author Share Posted March 25, 2003 Thanks guys, I'm glad you like it. I love this game, I get to have all the fun painting models like I used to many years ago, but then I get to actually blow them up over and over again. And, even better, they actually get to blow up other things as well! Most of the mods I've done so far are determined by the models I built back in high school. I'm not sure what's next but it may take some time as the snow around here is finally melting and the golf courses are opening. But, if you see it's raining on the weekends in New England, I'm sure something will appear. If you haven't already, check out my PZ III J, it was done with a similar technique. MikeT asked to put it out for CMMOS and plans to throw in some add-ons as well. I know I'm looking forward to it. It's over at CMMODS , of course.

kipanderson Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 Hi, Congratulations, a beautifully weathered Mod. Has the same “look” as high quality 1/35 AFV model. Great stuff. However, there is a reason why I avoid using Mods, other than the mass produced ones dealing with Winter White AFVs. The reason is that I feel it is important that all the graphics in a given game, fit together. Have a similar look. All the AFVs in CMBB done to the same “look” would be great. But that is too much work for any one. All the best, Kip. PS. A group of German and Soviet AFVs from the same period in the war, would be great. Even if only quite a small number. So one could use them in the same game. Still asking a lot I know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanar Posted March 25, 2003 Author Share Posted March 25, 2003 Kip, I definitely agree that these stand out and can often times look out of place. One of the other problems is that you reach a stage where the dirt, grime, and paint chips are as distinctive as numbers, unit markers, or slogans. If you have five of a single vehicle, it looks like five little clones running about the battle field. But, this can also lead to stunning drama on the battle field. You read the description of the battle you want to fight and then head off to CMMOS or just unzip your favorite mod. Now when that single Tiger, T-34, or Panther arrives as your lone reinforcement in turn 12, it stands out in comparison to everything else around it. It seems all the more exciting as it leads the charge to turn the tide, but also, all the more disappointing when you rush it too far forward and lose it to a hidden shrek. Think of Gandalf leading the Riders of Rohan at the end of The Two Towers. Would I really want to say, "Nah, he stood out to much, he should have just been wearing that drab armor like everyone else." Of course, this is all coming from someone who has downloaded gigabytes of mods and probably spends more time in CMMOS choosing what the combatants will look like than I do in the setup before a battle.
