[REL] U-123 IX Skins

Friction150 · 07-30-08, 04:43 PM

Hey everyone,
Back with a beauty, if I do say so. The U-123 was historically an IXB, but I've done both the B and C here. I've also done two schemes. The first is a red-orange hull version, and then the black hull. So you have alot of choices here with this skin, you can use it as just a B or C or use both, or have one red and one black hull.

This is where I got the idea from, I have to thank Lutzow for posting this picture over a year ago in a conversation with Wolfehunter. I love this scheme! I looked around, but I don't think he ever did this skin, so I had to.

Lutzow, do you have anymore of this kind of picture? Or know where I could find some camoflage profiles on the internet?

Red-Orange hull scheme

Nice picture of the conning tower's camoflage

Hull shot

Black hull scheme

I gotta say I had some fun working on this skin. I took it out for a test drive on my "test convoy" in single mission, and she looked awesome going flank speed through the center column. Hope you all enjoy it!

Please, let me know what you think.

Redhull version is here.

Blackhull version is here.

Beautiful work, Man

Pictures posted by me in that thread i found during exploring the net.
Some of them was inside the books. I posted there ALL pictures presenting u-camos, which i founded...

Now You have small problem

, because there is A LACK of photos
of u-camos...I searched hard but with no success.
This is strange - why there is no book with all u-boat camos from
IIWW ?

Maybe someone know, maybe this album exist ?
Subsimmers - please help

Friction - keep up the good work.
All your skins will be locked in my Vault

I counted - 6 skins - for now:p

Gee this is great stuff, my garage is getting full now, Hmmm, which one do I pick for this patrol!

Many Thanks.

Murr44 · 07-30-08, 09:24 PM

Great looking skins!

I got "greedy"

& grabbed both.

Friction150 · 07-30-08, 11:16 PM

Well thanks anyway Lutzow, I really appreciate it! I did grab some of the other pictures off of that post, the other 2 that really peaked my interest were the U-556 and U-25. Honestly the U-25 was my first attempt at doing a skin on here. (Bad choice for a first skin!) I got everything done up to the sharks mouth on the conning tower, and after hours of trying, I just ran out of patience. Maybe I'll dig that one back out and play around, but the conning tower is hard to skin due to the game having 2+ mirrors on it, no just one. I'll get around to some of those other boats.

I'm honored to have some skins in your vault mate.

@Starlion- Thanks for the link, I've seen that book before. I've actually looked through it before, it does have quite a few profiles in it, but all the places that are around here want 60-100 for that... guess maybe it's out of print?

@Everyone else- I really do appreciate the support and comments! Thanks alot!
