AndrewTF Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 Available for download now! This mod corrects a few minor inaccuracies in the originals, and offers optional textures for MVSN/Black Shirt Legion and Bersaglieri. Additionally, helmets have unit insignia (plain versions are also offered), except for the Mechanized/Cavalry units because I couldn't find any references for them. No, there aren't any feathers on the Alpini and Bersaglieri helmets because the distortion of the helmet model made including them nearly impossible. Also, the MVSN guys should probably have daggers, but they don't . On another note--this mod was almost entirely scratch-built, except for the helmet insignia and the Eastern Front badge worn by the officers. Other than those, I painted all elements, including ammo pouches, holsters, etc., by hand in Photoshop just to see if I could pull it off. I think they look pretty good. I guess all those college painting and drawing classes paid off. How about some pix? Alpini Infantry Mechanized Mech.

Michael Dorosh Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 Where can I read about the history of the Eastern Front badge? My references on Italians are notably thin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewTF Posted May 24, 2003 Author Share Posted May 24, 2003 I found a reference to it and a picture on an Italian WW2 website. I don't think I bookmarked it, though. I'll see if I can find out what the URL was and forward it to you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Dorosh Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 I'd appreciate it. I know I didn't add any drooling art-worship comments to my last post, but quite frankly, your work kind of transcends that. It's pretty much expected your stuff will be jaw-dropping in appearance, fidelity to detail, etc. So forgive me for leaving it out; I'm sure many others will be along to add their voices to the existing chorus.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewTF Posted May 24, 2003 Author Share Posted May 24, 2003 Thanks for the kind words, Michael. That's what we modders live for, since we're definitely not getting paid for doing this! The reference for the Russian Front Badge (not Eastern Front, my mistake) that I used was found here web page Toward the bottom of the page. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike8g Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 Andrew, I have downloaded the set yesterday. Excellent work - as usual. One thing: please check for files 9966 and 9965 as they weren't included in the set I have. Marcus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewTF Posted May 24, 2003 Author Share Posted May 24, 2003 The Alpini officer legs, right? I guess it would be out of character for me not to forget at least one BMP... Fix is coming up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewTF Posted May 24, 2003 Author Share Posted May 24, 2003 I updated the mod set with the missing Alpini officer BMPs. I also posted the two files in a separate zip Both are ready for download now at CMMods.com. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
