Default [REL] Wolfehunter's IXB U-40

Hello Sailors. I bring you a new Type IXB skin that I converted from IXA U-40 originally.

Inspired by Lutzows photos I found this one to be interesting.


Hmmm almost the same!

I've finally finished the sub. She's a converted A to B Type 9 U-boat. Camo pattern reflects U-boat U-40 as shown above.

Here are her latest finished photos,

I did what I could for the limit of the UV Mapping done on these models.

Her deck is new and wooden. May not appeal to everyone but I like something new once and a while.

IXB isn't a slick as IXC but that depends on which skins she's wearing.

Thanks to OCL uber mods you can really see good reflections.

Ask you can see her tattoos are well.... placed hehehe.:p

Last but not least her conning deck looks very realistic to the nake eye..... In game terms dudes.

Last note: Enjoy the skin dudes. JSGME ready!



Earlier post;

Below are some first photos of her work in progress. Most of it is done just a few titbits here and there to finish up.

http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...%203/U40_2.jpg
I'm trying very hard to replicate the camo patterns. On this side it looks great.

http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...%203/U40_3.jpg
This side it doesn't. UV mapping isn't great. So I'm going to ask you guys should I leave the camo like this that one side looks almost perfect or try to do something close as possible but make both sides look good? I'll let you guys decide.

http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...%203/U40_4.jpg
Another side shot looking good.

http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...%203/U40_1.jpg
New wooden deck similar to my VIIB rusty aka Blue camo skin.

http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...%203/U40_6.jpg
New type of drain holes that match the photos.

http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...%203/U40_5.jpg
Nice rearend hehehe.:p

So I let you guys decide what I should do with the conning tower camo.

Let me know.

I have a few items to add like vents and some idea I'm going to give a try hehehe.:hmm:

happy hunting all.

Wolfehunter - another masterpiece

I must learn your rust - it's so realistic. Like a wounds of old warrior

Camo on the turm ... what You want from this camo?
For me - perfect reconstruction

However i saw that You have the same problem with camo as me -
on the left side of turm. Problem for IXB only.
Another game bug - authors of game makes
only one paint for each sub and this is far away from any camouflages.

When release ?

If I ever have a 4x4 pickup I would have her all nicely messed up from a nice outdoor trailer ride hehehe in the woods.

For my uboats. Well I can't have them all nicely washed.... They have to look used and abused.

Thanks for you comments. I've been tweeking the camo on the Conning tower and I believe I've almost have it down. One small fix and that is done.

http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...ter/U40_12.jpg
Here is a deck gun view.

http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...ter/U40_13.jpg
Heavy flak gun view.

http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...ter/U40_15.jpg
Don't worry she's almost done.

http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...ter/U40_16.jpg
Deck perspective.

http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...ter/U40_17.jpg
Alternative view of the deck.

Over all I'm just about finished.

Next time I post may be its release.

I haven't decided to do the second conning tower upgrade yet? If you guys want that let me know now pls. It will take some more time to release it. Your call dudes.

Looks good there Wolfehunter! I'll be working on some more skins soon too, just got to find the time Once I start one, I don't stop till it's finished, and that can sometimes be longer than I hope for. Haha

Haha dude, when you said 8x AA I thought you meant you put 8 Anti aircraft guns on it. Had a doubletake there until I saw the pics.
