Conning Tower Emblems/Spiffy Sub Skins

[wazawak]

I know it's not realistic, but is there any way to make the emblem bigger and more visible, or even put it on the hull of the boat? Also, are there any good mods or skinpacks out there that could make my boat look scarier and more badass? The grey steel hull is nice and all, but if I could paint it jet black with hot-rod flames going down its sides that would be even nicer :up:.

or you know, tiger-shark stripes or anything. -is embarassed-

[_Seth_]

Oohhhh yeah, now we are talking! Its possible, and ill se what i can do!!

Well it must be a type-IX, because I refuse to use anything smaller... I've been using a IXB, but I want to upgrade as soon as I get the renown. Unfortunately, I'm not yet sure as to what will be my permanent boat, sorry, I know I'm not being helpful. Hmm... maybe I should take a visit to the drawing board before trying to demand a custom skin job, I don't want to waste the time of a valuable member of the community. Btw, your winter camo skin looks great.

Any word on increasing the size of your conning tower emblem?

[danlisa]

The conning tower is restricted to it's current size where it is. However, if it's on the hull it can be any size you want but I think it might be mirrored on the other side(ie backwards) but i'll check.

[Tachyon]

Danlisa, I'm beginning to have serious doubts as to whether you're human at all.
Lord bless thy artistic skills :up:

Was that pink U-Boat designed for Shegeek? Women like pink

[Pumbaa]

First post (I have been lurking for a while now) but yeah the conning tower emblems are too small, can barely see them :cry:

Sort of off topic . . . if anyone could come up with a skin with the shark mouth (ala flying tigers) I would use that in a heart beat :rock:

You can get one from here under the SH3 skins section. http://u-boot.realsimulation.com/ (http://u-boot.realsimulation.com/)

Pity, I was about to congratulate you on an effort well done. ;)

@ Wazawak

I'll make a hotrod IXC for you, if that's alright.

I am not the author of the sharks head. :smug:

I no longer have it but if you download it and read the read me you may find out. ;)

PS: The Tiger skin was a joke only. :rotfl:

[TarJak]

The tiger skin would be ideal for a Cincinatti Bengals, or a Wests Tigers fan though.

@ danlisa: This one is all yours, mate! Lets see what magic you can do!! :up::up::up:

[Tachyon]

Make a wolf skin, with the wolf's head at the bow. Or does this skin exist??



And thanks for my sig dan

One request for DanLisa & Seth: If you're going to do a shark mouth on the sub, can you please try to make it look as close to a Flying Tigers P-40 Warhawk as possible? I've always thought that such a device would look great on a U-Boat, corny as this may sound.

When I graduated from High School (back in the Jurassic Period), it was common to paint your car with funny sayings. I painted my Olive Green 1968 Pontiac Tempest like a Flying Tigers P-40. I had the shark face in the front, multi-color flames out of the wheel wells, my name on the side along with various kill signs (e.g., silhouettes of rabbits, mail boxes, baby carriages, and a few old ladies with canes), a skull and crossbones flag flying from the antenna, and written across the rear of the truck was "Sayonara Sucker!".

The greatest compliment I received was at a traffic light. An older gentleman who was of an age to have served in WWII gave my car a very stern looking over from bumper to bumper. Then affixing me with his gaze, gave me an enthusiastic "thumbs up". That was a pretty cool moment for a WWII history geek like myself.

I have a great white / White pointer skin that Cdre_Gibs made me :D
Put the theme to Jaws on the gramaphone, raise scope so you get a nice wake..and go hunting :up:

Cool car, mate!! I'll see what i can do!

[wazawak]

That certainly is an impressive vehicle. And Danlisa, thanks for the generous offer, but I'll shop around the existing skins a bit more first- after I get a few more patrols under my belt, then maybe I'll be worthy to get a custom skin... maybe something with the PRC crest and assorted badassery.

Pants, what boat is that white shark skin for?

And finally, who is this Bernard fellow I've been hearing so much about?

[TarJak]

Bernard was born here to Dowly a while back: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=84773

the the screw up on every crew that makes you push the C button when in about 2 m of water. etc. etc.:D

...Been there, done that.....I mean, It was Bernard...!!

[SubConscious]

Cool car, mate!! I'll see what i can do!

Thanks!! I would post a photo of it, but all of the photos were lost by the photo development place. Ah, the dark days before digital photography....

I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with. There are several photos of P-40's on this site for reference: http://www.ww2incolor.com/gallery/U-S-Air-Force?page=1

Thanks again! :up: :up: :up:

No way! Type IX! :yep:

Maybe both? ;)

[_Seth_]

Im about to start on the IX, but here is a test shot on a small Viic.
(sorry for bad pic-quality, looks sharper in real-life..)

Cool start! One suggestion: If you lower the mouth a bit such that only half of the teeth are above the water, the reflection on the water will supply the other half of the mouth. That might also position the mouth lower, to a more "natural" position.

This said, whatever you think is best is fine with me. You're a far more talented artist than I am!

This is going to be soooo cool!

[danlisa]

He He:lol: I've created a monster - LOL

Seth, you will have so many requests that you'll never get to play SH3 again:rotfl:.

Welcome to Modders Disease:yep:

[Tachyon]

The disease is well worth it, Wish i could design skins like that..... :cry:

[Wave Skipper]

@danlisa: I blame you!!!! :rotfl: No, its no problem, really, i enjoy it if i can help out!

@Tachyon: danlisa have made a "how to" manual for these thing. It's excellent!!:D
