Default [REL] IXC Blue Hunter Skin

Hey everyone, I've been away for awhile. Real life junk... Haha I started playing SH3 again a few days ago, and decided to use some newfound knowledge to make a skin.

The Blue Hunter is an IXC Type skin that is based off a paint scheme that was on the Hunt II destroyer in the stock game. I liked the design so much I put it on a uboat, and of course, I'm gonna share!

The only "issue" I ran into was that the colors from the hull ended up on the railings. After tinkering around with it and not finding a solution, I looked at some other skins by Fubar and Steed and some of them were the same way. I figured I'd leave it be then because it actually looks cool that way. Not bad for my first mod.

Looks nice to me!

But how about the conning tower? How would it look like if it also had the camo painting?

Thanks for the advice everyone. I actually did have the conning tower painted with the design, but the more I looked at it, the more I felt it was overcooked. So that's why I just matched it to the base grey that I was using.

How exactly would I put more rust on the boat? Is it as simple as finding a picture of rust and blending it in?

Thanks Wolfehunter, that means alot coming from you. You have some great skins out there, a few of them are on my boats as we speak.

Lutzow- Thanks alot! Feel free to add that to your vault. That has been extremely valuable to the community here for lots of classic skins!

Wolfehunter- I feel the same way, every mod, no matter how big or small, adds to the depth of this game.
