Not an incorrect model, but IMHO the best merchant model I have ever seen for SH3 (yes, I know technically she is an auxiliary/raider. And the shot is SH5). But the model has been used in various SH3 mods.

I don't know who made it but it is a masterpiece.

-Inverse camber to the hull, instead of straight/blocky shape
-Lots of nice rigging
-Ventilators & cranes properly sized and sited
-Hull flags & lettering
-Crane booms in correct sea-going position
-Highly detailed deckhouses
-Plausible width/depth of hull for the time period

This is the kind of craftsmanship modders and game makers should strive for.

Taken from SH5 so the creators were the Dev's.

I'd say Gabi Barbu was probably the 3D artist.
Based on the information in the SH5 file Penguin_FX.GR2.
I also note he was a Dev for SH4 and listed as LEAD Artist for SH5 as Gabriel Barbu.
I could be wrong but that's my best guess.

Would you like a list of every file that contains his name in SH5?


I can probably tell you what program was used to get the files from the SH5 GR2 also.

The creator of this nice model was Gerome73, and the ship has been converted to SH3 by the_frog if I remember correctly.
