I liked some of the splinter patterns on your paint jobs so much I needed to make her not suck so I could appreciate the paint

guys check this link, theres a few free ships and decent models you might find some new ships to add, i dont really know for sure i have only looked at carriers and destroyers myself.

bare in mind that they aren't all free so dont bite my head off at the cost, but take a look and you mind find a few things.

If they had a real Kaibokan or Matsu Class DD, I'd pony up the money, actually. I haven't looked in a while there, though.

200-500 for a 3d model? How many man hours is that? If only one persone buys it, id say theyre SOL.

iowa101 · 08-13-10, 06:27 AM

they aren't all that much some lower just as good models and some more that are well done and textured brilliantly, take a look around it's amazing im getting a kitty hawk and using it to make it playble lol, beens im not that good a modeling but dont worry all credit will to go to person i buy it from.

Hell tater...that is a nice one !

virtualpender · 08-13-10, 07:49 PM

Looking good! Are those the rescaled Daihatsus?

tater · 08-13-10, 08:24 PM

Yeah. The base model was over 19m long. There was a 17m version of the LC in RL, a 15m, and a 14m. The most common was the 14m.

I don't know if you guys know this already, but there is a large section of the under-cover missing from the Kiposan bridge.

Sergei - I know you are knee-deep in the merchants but maybe I can plant the seed to revisit the IJN carriers, too. Found these images of CHUYO that are pretty impressive:

Just file away for later....

For the whole war, IJN carrier paint measures were pretty interesting.

Getting a useful O-map for them might be difficult given the large size, and the necessity to have the flight deck also be as continuous an object as possible—and no submarine would see it unless she took a heavy list

Keltos, what would I do in wings 3d to easily rake the bow on the "Road Schooner" from BftB?

Here is a pic:

I want the bow to look more like:

I was hoping to just grab a bunch of vertices, then squish it... doesn;t work well

Is there a way to intersect it with a V shape, and subtract?

tater · 08-15-10, 02:56 PM

(yeah, I need to fix the rigging).
