Koon you're mama wouldn't be happy if she saw you trying to give your brother over to the German Navy... :nope:

This is the US Navy's LCS with a fictional camo pattern, I'm going to attempt to recreate a similar pattern on a VIIC shortly :yep: We'll see how this goes.
It's a better idea than the Mossy Oak, I know Koon was ready to spit at me after I mentioned it :lol:

This just goes to show you, not all skins turn out exactly as you planned... :nope:

Much to my dismay I came up with something very different than what I had planned out in my mind, but this one still kicks ass!! :rock:

The Deep Blue Rebel VIIC is one of those once in a lifetime boats, it can never be recreated on another u-boat class simply because I didn't write down the processes I used to create the hull's primary camo layer. :damn:

In the past my subs have had a rustic color black hull, this time I spent some extra steps to make it look weathered. Almost looks like it's got sea-slime growing from it :lol:


This is the first u-boat where I've ever been completely satisfied with it right from the first sea trial, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!! This is the Deep Blue Rebel VIIC:

It's amazing what I come up with after listening to Ozzy all morning :rock:
[edit] CapZap, I left you the original PSD for you to download, you know where it's at :cool:http://www.beyond-the-shadows.org/do...lueRebel7C.jpg

Thanks a lot SWC!!!! :up:
Very impressive work!.
I will take a look at that PSD file, for sure many other things to learn from there. :o
CapZap

That one was like a thorn in my side because I had to liquify all those accents by hand :nope: Tried to do something similar to it on another sub today but it didn't look as nice so I started over. I've got that sub finished but I'm gonna throttle back and relax a while before I put it up, don't want to go in to work tonight feeling lazy :shifty:

Enjoy that DBR sub, it's certainly a piece of work! :up:

Great works with this skins! :up:
Are they GWX 2.0 compatible ? :hmm:

Thanks!! And yes they are, they only alter the tga's not the dat's :cool: Just drop the folder into JSGME and away you go! :up:

I have them advertised as VIICs but they'll work with any VII class u-boat :cool:

I'll be starting a new project tomorrow as soon as I get off work, don't know what I'll call it but it's going to look entirely rusted over, from bow to stern :cool:
This one isn't going to be a two hour git-r-done job, it'll take me at least a couple of days to get it looking the way I want it to and it won't be released until it is. :up:

Stand by, Ol' Rusty's on the way in time for Christmas :cool: - provided this daggone dog I'm watching isn't bothering me all week long...

This one's not staying orange forever, someone requested a tan skin from my site so that's what I'm working on at the moment. At one point this looked completely rusted over until I made it brighter...:damn:

[EDIT]
Here's a newer version of what I've been working on:
http://www.beyond-the-shadows.org/bt...ics/medtan.jpg

This is the second version of the Old Faithful sub that I did as a Christmas release:

http://www.beyond-the-shadows.org/do...aithful2-0.jpg

Changed a few things up, most noticeable is the absence of any metal appearing on this boat. The lower hull lost it's diamond plating to a mahogany colored wood and the upper looks like a stained pine.

And that should do it for the wooden boat series, Old Faithful 2.0 is available for download :up: On to more VIIC projects :cool:

Hello brother:
I am amazed by these skins, they look terrific!!!! :up:
Just a thought here: for the one with desert camo, how about a dark hull? maybe it would make the tan color more flashy.
Anyway, it looks very, very nice. i will be waiting for it to come out of the dry docks. :rock:
CapZap

This is a boat I'm doing as a request, so the hull's going to be a greyish color and above the waterline it'll be tanned, as per the wishes I'm trying to follow :cool: Certainly won't disappoint as soon as it's released though, I'll add some personal touches that'll make it look amazing regardless of what color scheme it gets :up:

That leopard print may not be used now but it will certainly be seen later on ;)

No doubt you will. :o
i am sure you are the person to accomplish it. :up:
After seeing your work painted on my subs, i know that no matter what you do, it will be top-notch work.
CapZap

I'm having to design my own hull plate patterns, I'm getting tired of using the same old overlay from SH3 and simply sliding my own colors in there... This is gonna be an interesting experiment when it gets done with, should look pretty sweet :cool: Pics on the way as soon as I rust it up a little bit :up:

[EDIT]

This is my latest work:

http://www.beyond-the-shadows.org/do...SWCs-DAK7C.jpg

The Deutsche Afrika Korps VIIC. I've included the korps' emblem as a means to add to the sub, and only for that purpose. It's up for download for anyone interested. :up:

http://www.beyond-the-shadows.org/bt...pics/cbsub.jpg
My newest work in progress, the hull from top to bottom is covered in scales, only difference is the red overlays between various sections of the boat.
It won't look this nasty when I'm thru with it!! :nope:
