lcm1947 Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Excellent job Andrew as usual. Actually I really think this one is about your best so far or maybe I just think this particular uniform is really cool looking. If somebody hadn't of mentioned the boots I'd personally never would have noticed. But hey you do what you can with what you've got. It works for me. Thanks Andrew. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewTF Posted October 14, 2003 Author Share Posted October 14, 2003 Here's one more: Now of course these are still Beta versions as I don't even have the game yet. That's doo-dad-less steppe posing as desert. Thanks to forumite Moshe Malyevshevsky for the FJ photo references. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ant Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Interesting page on Afrika corps uniforms. http://www.diggerhistory.info/pages-uniforms/afrika_korps.htm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatEtr Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Wow, nice uni's Andrew and the game is not even out yet, how kool is that. A mod like this makes me look even more forward to the CMAK release. I may be over stepping my bounds here by saying this. But why doesn't BTS just hire Andrew to do the uniforms? No offense to the fella who does the stock uniform textures, but Andrews uniforms are simply the best. Just curious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewTF Posted October 15, 2003 Author Share Posted October 15, 2003 They'll be ready for download when the game's out. There are a few things to fix yet, and of course I don't even really know how'll they'll work in-game so we'll all just have to wait. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Private Bluebottle Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 Richard Bender in his excellent (although a bit dated now perhaps) book on the Afrika Korps makes the point that as far as head dress went, all troops were initially issued the cork solar topee and the fore-and-aft cap (whose name escapes me at the moment). Infantry retained their helmets. The Solar topee was quickly discarded because of its bulk in favour of the peaked field cap when it became available. He makes the interesting point that individual soldiers were responsible for camouflaging their own helmets, so the finish was quite variable from simple applications of mud through to professional paint jobs. Often the German helmets were refitted by individuals with British chin straps as they were more comfortable apparently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
