Gordon Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 Since I haven't been heard around these parts for a while, I thought I'd give a quick preview of something I've been working on as time permits. Three Tiger IIs as deployed by Schwere SS Panzer Abteilung 501 for the Ardennes offensive. First, Tiger "003", of the Stabskompanie (staff company), which was immobilized near Stavelot and set on fire by its crew before they withdrew. Second, Tiger "204" which was found intact near La Gleize by the Americans. And finally, Tiger "332" which was captured by the Americans and now resides at the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland, USA. A companion mod with snow covering the vehicles will also be released but I don't have any preview shots yet. Coming soon to a CMMOS mega-release.

Tom TCMHQ Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 :eek: :eek: :eek: OUTSTANDING GORDON !!!! THIS is the KT I was always looking for ( and unlike the original LaGleize KT it has the correct Muzzlebreak ) Cheers Tom BTW: I hope all of you mod giants won´t stop to produce such CMBO beauties AFTER 20th of September...we are still missing the German truck , the Humber and several pieces of Artillery in " Molek , Bergmann , Fox , ( insert your favorite modder here ) quality.

Diceman Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 Gasp! That's it! That's the Tiger II mod I've been waiting for! This will almost be like playing with the Tiger II model on my desk in CMBO, except your's is better looking. I'm anxiously awaiting this one.

Buckeye Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 Okay, Gordon, it's beautiful. I guess you can be forgiven for not sending along a turn in our game for months. Seriously, keep up the good work! Our game will be waiting when you're ready for a good ass whuppin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, those look absolutely the best Gordon. Makes me glad I stopped modding; can't compete with the super modders like Gordon, et. al., nowadays. S!

Olle Petersson Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 Originally posted by Tiger: Makes me glad I stopped modding; can't compete with the super modders like Gordon, et. al., nowadays.NOOO!!! Let's face it, IMO Gordon, Andrew and Fernando spew out a series of mods with gorgeous paint jobs. All vehicles look as if they've come straight from the factory though, and not travelled 100m off road or spent any time outdoors. Your vehicles, Tiger, really have a nice used look to them. The perfect solution must be for the others to do their mods and then send them to you for weathering. I, personally, would be willing to spend some money to buy a CD with those mods! Cheers Olle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Posted August 8, 2002 Author Share Posted August 8, 2002 Thanks all for the nice comments (except Olle , who I'd hoped would have at least noticed that this mod is more weathered than the "factory" mods I usually do). Vader's Jester, I'm not sure my wife would approve, but if you send a resume and photos I'll at least see if you're my type. Buckeye, you want to be the one that tells 'em the bad news? Tiger, I'd be honored (and Olle would be ecstatic) if you'd apply your damage and weathering techniques to any of my mods (I just don't have the knack or time for it) and if they take off, we can start a whole new category of vehicle mods for CMMOS. btw, here's the snow-covered previews: Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Posted August 9, 2002 Author Share Posted August 9, 2002 Olle, Well, I gave it the old college try (front and side BMPs only - it's just a prototype) but it doesn't seem to work. It just doesn't look convincing to me. Maybe PawBroon will finish up his tutorial on weathering and dirtying vehicles and I'll be able to learn something, but I just don't seem to have the knack for dirt. Besides it tends to cover up all the fine detail I worked so hard to put into the mod in the first place. Sorry, Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thin Red Line Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 Gordon, I'm also very conviced by you weathering, believe me, it looks perfectly realistic ! Awesome mod BTW, as always ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameroon Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 I have to agree with the others Gordon, that weathering looks great. If the whole vehicle was dirtied (i.e. the "dirty-ing" was finished), I'd probably be drooling with the rest. I wish I could add weathering myself, I've got a number of mods installed that I'd like to weather. Dings and such are nice.... but I really like when the vehicles look dirty.

Gordon Posted August 9, 2002 Author Share Posted August 9, 2002 But see here's another problem (of the underlying 3D model that things like weathering tend to exacerbate) which drives us modders nuts. If you look closely at the image below you'll see that the inside fender which is now dirty is used for the front of the gun mantlet which now looks too dirty for its position on the tank.

BeauCoupDinkyDau Posted August 10, 2002 Share Posted August 10, 2002 You almost can't see the diffrence Gordon. I'll beta test it for ya if you want. I'm not a modder, but gave Juju a lot of feedback that I think he liked when Ed and I tested his modslut special set (firearm pack). :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
