requesting highly weathered skins if I may. Rust, chipping, denting, etc.

I love making them...

just wait and they will come :p

Don't get too carried away with rust. I'd keel haul the crew if they let my tub get rusty.

:rotfl: :rotfl:
That's why every sub will eventuely have 3 different skins.
Black, minor and heavy weathered.

I just started the Porpoise.. (well.. I been busy with her for about 4 hours now :p )
It's just basic, very few details etc..

Does anybody has a shot of a grey colored Porpoise ??

I am a bit in doubt with the colorscheme..
Should it be like this, or grey all the way to the rear (like USS Salmon) ?

Painted in early war Measure 9 overall black.

Great work Foo! :up: :up:

One request(don't laugh guys). How about an "Operation Pettycoat" skin. Just for an oldtimer that loved the movie. I'd love to use it on a rescue or recon mission just for the hell of it. LOL

@ Hackett.. thanks for the shots :up:
Why is USS Permit on Navsource called Perch class and on several other sites as Porpoise class ? anyone ?

@ GT182.. maybe, I think it is very cool looking skin.
At the moment I still have tons of work. But maybe later.
The idea sounds good !

Looking forward to seeing your new weathered versions of the older skins.

Unless someone more knowledgeable than I on the subject can explain in more detail;
The information I have simply has the "P Boats" sub-headed under the parent class of "Porpoise Class"

The Porpoise-class was made up of the following subclasses:
P-1 Type

• (SS-172) USS Porpoise
• (SS-173) USS Pike

P-3 Type

• (SS-174) USS Shark
• (SS-175) USS Tarpon

P-5 Type

• (SS-176) USS Perch
• (SS-177) USS Pickerel
• (SS-178) USS Permit
• (SS-179) USS Plunger
• (SS-180) USS Pollack
• (SS-181) USS Pompano

(Info taken from Wikipedia)

The third flight of porpoise subs had some minor mods, and some people insist on them being a seperate class, using the pike as a name for it since it was the first of the three flight to put to sea.

How about the flak guns and deck guns? They look out of place now with the work you've done on all these sub skins, and something about them just doesn't look right.

Wow...awesome.

I know your busy, but any chance on the weathered/before overhaul 'Drum' Skin? Adding of the battleflag on conning tower would be great too. :)

I will also do a USS Drum weathered version from the picture :up:

But first I have to finish..
* new Fooskins website
* finish Porpoise class
* Redo S-Class
* Then I have to find some time to actualy play the game :rotfl: :rotfl:

A redone s-class? It's like santa. You know just what I want for christmas.
