Did you get an impression that water was my favorite tipple?

Andrew, ever toyed with the idea to battle paint your mods in little more vivacious colours? Thinking of a Panther D mod here on my HD by some gentleman - I think JorgeMC - that had a "octupus-like green" battle paint. Simply stunning - and it goes well with the CMBB surrounds without being too outrageous. Though I know that the die-hard grogs here will cry foul...

Sincerely,

Charl

-------------------History Note------------------

On 22 December 1944 General Heinrich von Lüttwitz, commander of the German XLVII Armoured Corps, sent a message to General McAuliffe, commander of 101st Airborne Division* demanding he surrender the surrounded town of Bastogne. McAuliffe’s reply, “NUTS!” is probably unequalled in the annals of military history, both for its brevity and the amount of confusion it caused in the German camp before it was deciphered.

*The 101st Airborne Division held out in Bastogne from 19-26 December 1944. The 4th American Armoured Division, under Patton’s Third Army, relieved the “Battered Bastards of Bastogne” during the German Ardennes offensive.

I have in the past made mods in brighter colors, but, as you correctly surmised, the grogs got rather bent out of shape over it. The modslut mantra seems to be "dirty and weathered". I can perhaps try to make a more excitingly colored version. I like Jorge's "Octopus" Tiger, which is right now my Tiger mod of choice smile.gif . I think he did a "Kursk Panther" with a similar scheme. They're nice work.

Will be ever so thankful if you could release alongside the grey + weathered looks a more colourful mod a-la-Jorge's style. If you're up to it that is.

For every grog on the board there is a patzer like me that wishes their AFV's NOT to be so completely dull and weathered and completely authentic looking... ;)
