Earl Grey Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 Well, actually you paint over the base template - you duplicate it and then just recolor it. Afterwards you erase those parzs you don't need. BUT: to make things easy the great (praise be him) MikeyD compiled a camouflage tutorial after I asked him how he did it and uploded it in the CMAK section of CMMODS. I'd suggest you go grab it and try it! I learned a lot! Regarding the Jagdpanzer I can't find evidence of any comon pattern - on the contrary. There seem to be everyt pattern imaginable: stripes, patches, blotches in different sizes and painted in a two-color, three-color or Ambush pattern. Essentially the same with all German vehicles. Although there seems to be at least some stnadardization in factory-applied patterns, although that is a topic which still needs a lot of research. Just ask more questions, I'll try to answer them as good as I can... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Grey Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 Okay, have reworked the mod so it looks like a late production Jagdpanzer IV: Features now include standard road wheels on all stations and 4 early-type steel return rollers. The following two patterns have been chosen to be done on this template (Zimmerit obviosuly still missing), but you may decide which it will be: 9. or 12. SS Panzer, seen in Hungary, May 1945 9. or 12. SS Panzer, seen in Hungary 1945 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tux Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Sorry Earl Grey, I didn't see your response at the top of this page until just now. I've just downloaded MikeyD's tutorial. Thanks for the info. I would find it very difficult to choose between those two schemes. I think, in the end, I would prefer the hard-edged job on the second profile. Nice and striking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Grey Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 You're welcome, you're welcome. I would have taken the second one rathe than the first one, too - kind of like Ambush myself! *g* P.S.: Would you like to have my halftrack mod in a yellow modder version? Due to technical problems with my own machine I currently won't be able to upload it, though... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tux Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Thanks, that would be handy for me to start getting to grips with the methods involved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Grey Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 Just uploaded the halftrack mod in a yellow modder version. This is how it looks like: And should you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. If I can help, I will.

Earl Grey Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 Wasn't lazy in the meantime and this is what the Jagdpanzer looks like at the moment: Changed the details to make it look like a late Jagdpanzer IV which is more logical with the polygons and the exhaust arrangement. Obviously, I did the Zimmerit pattern wrong and realized it too late - that's why it still looks odd. Hope you like it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeatEtr Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Yeah its looking good, looking forward to the finished version. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Grey Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 Somewhat, somewhat - I need to redo the whole Zimmerit I essentially had already finished becasue my first pattern wasn't correct. I think i can post a new screen tomorrow, though it'll be a few days before I'll be able to put on camouflage. Anyone interested in getting this as a plain Dunkelgelb modder's version? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Grey Posted July 19, 2008 Author Share Posted July 19, 2008 Okay, part of the Zimmerit is reworked. You can clearly see why it takes so long redoing it... The most problematic part, though, is yet to come: the gun shield. But I hope to finish this mod next week, since a lot of people are already waiting for different other mods! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn2002 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Yes, stop talking, get on with it! Looks superb, Earl, I'm looking forward to what you and other people will do with these great basic mods. I know you are a perfectionist, but don't overdo it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Grey Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share Posted July 20, 2008 Me a perfectionist? It's just my philosophy that when I'm gonna do something, I can as well do it right in the first place - something I didn't with my first mods, by the way. Apart from that it would have been finished a long time ago if the Zimmerit wouldn't take that long all the time... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Grey Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 Okay, people, it is done! Completely zimmerited and as accurate as I could make it: I know it looks odd around the gun mantlet, but that's because the polygons are ALL WRONG! If nobody spots any errors or thinks I still need to improve something, I'll host it at CMMODS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn2002 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Wooow! That is going to be the mamma of a series of grand mods, I'm sure! Well done, Earl! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vergeltungswaffe Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Looks good, ready to post, imho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Grey Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 I did spot an error myself, who would have thought... Will correct that ASAP and then post as modder's version. Camouflage is to be expected, of course - just a little bit later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Grey Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 Since I am either too stupid to figure out how to edit my messages or it just might not work: IT IS OUT!!! Go grab it, people! In case you haven't already done so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
