[REQ] U-69 "Laughing cow/Flags" skin

[MattDizzle]

Hello, is anyone here talented enough to make a hisorically accurate U-69 conning tower? Thats my U boat and i can get a really ugly inverted laughing cow, without even the proper banners on the side. Can anyone help me?

This is one of the most unique and famous U boat liveries. Better hurry, i only have like another year to live! :salute:

Someone did a mod that reskinned the subs by replacing the default texture, maybe this would be a good route. I dont remember what it was called ("Something" Paint shop 1.0)

More pictures, Closeups of the flags and cow:

And in case you cant see it the text on the very front center says "Horridoh"

Yeah, I can't find any decent pictures of that emblem. This page has the best ones so far:

It doesnt have to be super crazy accurate. Black and white photos for placement, models for color (I'm sure some anal modeler read the right colors from a book or something)

I know the cow is brown and the text is all white, and the boat is a dark enough grey to make the text really stand out. Ever since i got assigned U-69 in december 1939 (HA) ive been wanting to have the correct paint job.

Since the flags wrap around the front of the conning tower a simple "Captains emblem" just wont do. Of course the community could always use some good historical skins :)

The A Fistful of Emblems (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=164789) SH5 mod has the cow head emblem available.

The SH3 mod SuperTurms 4 (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=169676) has the whole thing, flags, wraparound cow heads and very crisp quality. You can see it in this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5byWnRFOJDM). The main drawback is you can't do that in SH5... yet?

It's in Spanish. Look in Historia, Historial Uboote, fichas e historiales, U-69.
Sorry, no direct link. Pics and colour print of U-69's emblem.
