MikeyD Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 For those wondering about the G models'. Here's my progress to date. Almost starting from scratch! You see I'm trying to delete the pair of cooling pipes on the left side exhaust. Not entirely sure its doable yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 I have a survey for y'all. I'm in the middle of attempting to delete the cooling pipes on the left side exhaust to make a more accurate G model. BUT I might not be able to entirely delete the last few inches at the top due to 'shared' art. If a choice had to be made which would YOU prefer? 1: An accurate G model exhaust with a couple annoying undeletable bits hovering above it at the top, OR 2: a less accurate but more esthetically pleasing A-style exhaust retaining twin cooling pipes? ...Or, I suppose, a separate 'Alt_DeletedPipes' folder so you have a choice? I do get the feeling BFC relied heavily on the old - and outdated - Squadron "Panther in Action" reference picture book. Everything from the cast cupola'd D model to the G with triple exhaust stacks are in that book. If it weren't for the later Jentz books I'd be all confused by the danged Panthers myself! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David I Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Number 3 - Separate Folder. I would have to see your partial fix in game to decide. DavidI 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vergeltungswaffe Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Agreed. Its hard to say how annoying the undeletable bits would be without scrutinizing them in-game. Looking great though, can't wait. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 I recall my old CMAK captured 7.62mm Pak36® L/51 (massively converted from the 7.62 ZIS gun polygons) had a couple discrete undeletable bits that weren't TOO annoying in-game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hetzer38 Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Mmhh, lovely! Good to see another WIP by you! Cheers, Hetzer38. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Grey Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I'm with DavidI - seperate folder would be best. We won't ever get exhausts anywhere near accurate, so this seems to be the best solution to the problem... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David I Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Oh and MikeyD, Please provide an untracked turrent side. That way we can subtract/add tracks to the turrent without undo brain damage. Monday? DavidI 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broompatrol Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 depends...what do they look like burning?.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 Another WIP. Artwork done, starting the long processing of colorizing. You don't know what an armor tutorial these mods have been for me. All weekend long I was making noises like "Wow, so THAT's what Panther G tool stowage looks like!" Don't think I start these things knowing ahead of time how they're supposed to look. And yes, this one's going to include an alt. no spare track turret side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aragorn2002 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Very impressive. I'm especially looking forward to the G-version. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 After bumping into so many pictures of Zim'd-up early production Gs with normal dished wheels I may be compelled to offer TWO early G mods. This non-Zimmerit factory camou steel wheel G, and then an earlier yellow basecoat Zim'd G off the same BMP numbers. But I won't even think of starting that alt. version until the last LATE G is done & gone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
