s class skins?
 

hi all has any one made any s class skins yet??

FooFighters working on one right now :yep:

Not yet :D .. First have to finish the black Salmon..
But S-Class is next after that.

:arrgh!:

Sweet !

Hi there captains..

Just finished the Salmon.. So my next project is the S-Class boats.
I have some pictures from navsource.org site. But non close shots.

If you have some nice S-Class pictures, please show them here or mail them to me dennis@oldsmobile1958.com

What I need are pictures where you can see how the hull structure is mounted.
Where are the rivots ?? etc..

Thanks,

Foo

im working on the s-18 but it will take a while also looking for good source for photos or even models , any colour profiles would be nice also

anyway did anyone noticed that the water reflections " caustic " dont work for the s-18 ?

hummm ... these are not the same type as in game ... sorry

i really not shure about the diferences , there where several types among the s-boats ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_...lass_submarine

the version in game is similar to the ones below and in some pictures you can notice some rivets

BTW : NOTICE THE SIZE OF THE BOW WAVE ON EVERY PICTURE ?

Great series of photos. Looks like the S-44 underwent quite an overhaul sometime between Feb 43 and June 43 - air and surface search radars and a 20mm AA gun. Also, the bridge was cut down in the front for the AA mount. Doesn't the game model put it astern? It also looks like the bow antennas were removed.

I don't think those photos were ever released to the public - didn't the Navy redact anything that clearly showed radar masts?

dunno about that but seen some sites with photos where the improovementes on the submarines where document with photos with white circles around the parts that where improoved i think those where navy oficial not for release


anyway did someone finish an s-boat skin ?

I demand hi-res s boat skin! :rotfl:

yo baby!! lets get some s skins out :rock: :rock:
