Been busy updating CMBO, looking for a Gordon quality Mod for the Chaffee and for the M18 HellCat, could anyone help me out? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Måkjager Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Hello Mahon72 from a fellow McMahon The Chaffee and M18 Hellcat are two neglected mods in regards to CMBO. There are some out there..but none by Gordon Molek or Marco Bergman. I am working on a M24 Chaffee at present.but when it is finished i do not know. Work in Progress Chaffee Mod . web page Best bet is just to keep an eye on the forum.....or i can email u in due course if you like Welcome to Combat Mission Best regards Måkjager 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahon72 Posted February 9, 2004 Author Share Posted February 9, 2004 Thanks Måkjager You can contact me at mahon72@myeastern.com I have been busy sorting through all the different Mods from the past few years, was quite a task to find the best renders. Also have been grabing BMP(s) from CMAK Demo and CMBB for use in CMBO, the fire, smoke, tree bases, and water I find are the best right out of CMAK, I even grabbed the US Helmets from there, just too bad that when you try to use the tanker helmet in CMBO it just looks too weird for some reason. Nice work on the Chaffee Regards, Dan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahon72 Posted February 10, 2004 Author Share Posted February 10, 2004 It's ok, not too bad anyway, I just like that Kelly looking leather helmet. Right now I''m using the default helmet but with the 4 modded holes drilled in the top. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junk2drive Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Go figure, in cmak, early and mid tankers have the side view, leather helmet. in late they have top down. mahon, you could put the cmak leather on your cmbb russian tanker, then try to take a top down pic of the head. paste into paint, get the head to 64x64 and save as. i assume you know the rest. my webpage has a pic of a cmbb tanker in usmc uniform. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahon72 Posted June 8, 2004 Author Share Posted June 8, 2004 Hello All, Well it got to the point that it didn't seem anyone would mod a M18 Hellcat for CMBO. So I have taken matters into my own hands, by taking a M18 Hellcat mod made for CMAK and tweaking it to run in CMBO. Looks sweet, if someone wants to have a look and perhaps would post the pics for me great! If you enjoy CMBO as much as me and want the mod to use yourself thats great too! email me at: (mahon72@myeastern.com) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicky Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Have you tried seeing if my CMAK Hellcat will work? - might need some tweaking I wish I had more time for modding but it's the Cricket season (normal service will resume in the winter) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junk2drive Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 daffy already did, at cmmods 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahon72 Posted June 8, 2004 Author Share Posted June 8, 2004 Wicky, I did really consider your mod to modify for CMBO It is very nice but there are issues in how tanks are done in CMAK vs CMBO. The nose for example is in two pieces in CMAK vs one piece in CMBO, so that cable on the front of your mod worried me enough to use a similar dirty M18 CMAK mod that did not have the cable. There is also a challenge with the top of the gun turret in CMBO because it is just done in a different manner in CMAK. But it is now complete, it looks great and I think it rocks; now I am working on bringing the Chaffee tank from CMAK into CMBO.

mahon72 Posted June 8, 2004 Author Share Posted June 8, 2004 Junk2drive, I went and checked it out, the conversion that daffy did is not that good, and well that might be a little harsh. So let me rephrase that and say that it does not do Wicky's mod any justice. Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junk2drive Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 i had run into the same problem with bo to ak mods before. sometimes you can stretch and scrunch bits to fit. sometimes it just doesnt work without a graphic arts degree. i did some winter conversions from bo mods that were better than nothing, until wicky and others started modding cmak vehicles. i have used combos of ak and bo. gem snowy halftrak sides and top view, with wicky's mod on the rest. you dont know until you try. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahon72 Posted June 9, 2004 Author Share Posted June 9, 2004 Mr. Die Easy, I'll send you my before and after pics of the M18 Hellcat along with the Hellcat Mod itself. The Chaffee will have to wait a little longer as I am still working on that, but it is coming along very nice indeed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
