On trhe last forum there was alot of British stuff being made and I hope it still is ie. Landy by deliltmon, Bedford Lorries by me Westland Lynx and scoprion medium battle tank by Kklink (or somat like that anyway)
So who else is making other addons such as a Gazzelle, MRLS, AS90 and so on
cplme ;D
P.S delitmon what is the progress on your landy?
-
The cool thing about the Scorpion and Scimitar is that they are identical apart from armament and turret, so if someone else mucks in with Klink, or he feels like it, we could get 2 tanks for the price of 1.
Oh, and just a polite request:
CHIEFTAIN! CHIEFTAIN! CHIEFTAIN!
get my drift? ;D
-
Oh, how's the Bedford coming on mate?
-
its coming on okay I'll post some pics maybe tomorow
Yeah CHIEFTAIN would be good I might give it a go after the bedford, All it would be is a modefied tank from the abram ;D ;)
-
The landy has ground to a halt, milkshape is screwed again, bloody thing recons it's expired even though it's registered, 2nd time now, except this time the bit's I edited in the registry to get it to work arent there, gonna move to gmax until O2 is available, so should be back on track soon, gonna take the model into work, install milkshape there and convert it.
I've got kind of a hankerin to do a Stalwart after this
(http://www.stalwart.org/images/stal2002.jpg)
Be nice to see some pics of the Bedford, just a shame there's now a 50k limit on attatchments - I think it maybe time I made use of the free webspace I get with my ISP
-
WEll i havent been on it latley but I started yesterday again and i have the basic outline just looks like a load of boxes but by tommorow afternoon it should llok like a lorry
-
Exelenté :D
-
I'm working on a Challenger II but i'm pretty crap at modeling, and I dont know if it will get finished.I need a good picture of the side of the hull, but there isn't 1 on the FAS website.
-
Its all well and good doing vehicles, but is someone going to do some good infantry that work well with Resistance. ???
-
I'm sure Bimbi sooner or later, will upgrade his Brittish boys and again will surprise us with the best Brittish boys of the game ;)
As for the Scorpion and the Lynx, well they are being made by the Flaklands Team ;)
http://come.to/operationflashpoint
-
Thats what I'm hopeing for, his are the best. Would be nice to see some basic squadies though, the para's and marines are exellent but basic's would be nice as well. Also is someone going to do a Landrover with all these 4x4's coming out for the civies its a wonder that no one has done one, both Military and civ
-
I am!!! Not all landies come in olive drab you know! ;)
I'm only doing military landies, well maybe a civvie version later :-\
-
If somebody wants to be very nice to me - 33 Sqn. Puma and 1 Sqn. Harrier. Pretty please.
-
;D they are all being made by the Falklands MOD ;D
The Land Rover, the Harrier and the Puma too ;D
so I guess we are very nice to you Flt Sgt 97 ;D
-
Way Hey :D
Altho; why would Falklands Mod be making a Puma when AFAIK none went south?
-
for us maybe ;D
you would be surprised with the amount of models the Genius Colonel Klink makes ;D now with KevBaz,NZ-PsychoKiwi and Nolips models are flying from all places ;D
Concentrating mainely on the Falklands ofcourse but we also make some other models ;D
-
ah, but the "Comando de Aviacion del Ejercito" (Army Aviation Command) and the Argentine Coast Guard did use the Puma in The Falklands (they lost six Puma SA.330L's). they also used Chinook CH-47C's, Agusta A-109A's and Bell UH-1H's.
-
Well I know that a lot of british addons are been made by varouis people.
I am starting a mod soon on The British Forces, Army, Navy, Airforce and Marines, that is way I asked who is making what so I know what I can put on the site, Anyways my Bedford lorry is not going well at the moment but I hope that will change soon when O2 comes out to the public (carnt wait) After me Bedford I am doing a few tanks choppers other veichles inlcuding the harley davidson army motorbike and many many more veicles.
-
And to think I have just the map to show off all these British addons.
A RAF airfield.......
It will be great to have British kit running around it just like real.
I am going to try and re-texture Kegs hawk, if succesfull I will talking to him about its release, dont have your hopes up, I have never done it before....
I am also hunting pictures of the two Hawk squadrons based at RAF Chivenor in the early 1990's
I hope someone does the Seaking, I want a big Yellow one as my airbase has 2 Air-Sea Rescue ones based there (Ideally markings of 22 Sqdn)
-
I have started that new mod now its all going it needs alot of work to it though
-
I'm really excited now about all this good old Brit hardware in the works now, maybe I'll be able to make a campaign for a dumb story I've been writing on and off for the past year or so! :D
I for one would love to see a Stalwart, DeLiltMon, good thinking chap!
It's a shame that a Chieftain AVLB wouldn't work properly in the game, that'd be a great addon. Imagine holding the line long enough for the bridgelayer to roll in and bridge the ditches so the RAC can charge onwards and get a brew someplace.
If anyone's doing a Chieftain of a Scorpion and wants circa-1970's markings, my dad drove the Scorp in the 14/20th Hussars until it changed from Armoured Recce to a regular armoured regiment, then he drove Chieftains. I'm sure he'll be willing to help if I twist his arm enough ;)
**OFF TOPIC**
This is the nicest forum EVER! I belong to about eight different ones across the web, and I have the same personal text on every one, and nobody here's asked who Jen is! Ace! :D
-
who's jen?
-
I hope someone does the Seaking, I want a big Yellow one as my airbase has 2 Air-Sea Rescue ones based there (Ideally markings of 22 Sqdn)
tut tut.. Its being made by us m8 8)
-
Why the yellow RAF one? All the Sea Kings / Commandos used in corporate were FAA / CHF. And all the RAF ones now stationed at MPA have been Dark Grey.
-
so? this could be 1985 remember. and yellow is just cooler.
-
Aye, it could well be. But back then 22 were flying Wessexs. ;D
-
Ok point taken in 1985 22 Squadron had the Wessex...
BUT the time my map is set in which is about 1993-1994 22 Squadron had converted to the Sea King.
The reason its yellow is its used for Air-Sea Rescue...
Also although I know the team I am with are making it I dont think they want the Air-Sea Rescue version for the Falklands, it would stand out a bit....
Ok its not important but just think of calling in for a extraction and seeing a yellow Seaking coming...afterall the war started so quick they didnt have time to repaint it...
I hope if anyone does the Stalwart they do it as built and not as most are now (without waterjets). That would be funny, drive into water and go nowwhere...
-
Yeah, a Stalwart that just floated would be like a brick that fell on your foot but didn't hurt you.
Personally, I'd really like to see an army Harley, and preferably two versions of the Sea King; SAR yellow and normal grey.
**WAAAAY OFF TOPIC***
who's jen?
Dammit, why didn't I see that coming ???
For anyone who's interested in this pale sixteen year old's love life, or anyone who needs a good laugh, Jen is a girl who said that she'd rather eat broken glass and laxatives than ever speak to me again. Hearing that from someone you really really like never does any good for your self-confidence... so I'll sit in the corner and be very quiet, okay? :'(
-
I take it if the Falklands team are doing a landy that it'll be a Series III rather than the newer Defender as that's what would have been in service in '82
-
Anyone doing a Wolf version of the Landy?
-
I remember something from the old forums about the wolf variant....
-
Isn't that something DeLiltMon is working on?
-
Yup, I'm doing the standard Defender 110GS first, but it should be pretty easy to move the spare wheel and change the height of the roof to make it into a wolf
-
Sorry to sound like a total prat, but what's a Wolf when it isn't what dogs descended from ??? ?
Is it the latest variant of the Landy or something?
And to bring something up from the old forums, the only thing that DeLiltMon really needs to put in is a Norwegian ;D Brown tea-like liquids that taste like anything but tea and are lukewarm and stewy are but fuel for the British soldier.
-
Just a thought, we need some kick-@ss SA80s, Gympis and maybe SLRs so we don't have guys with Armalites and AKs jumpin out of Bedfords and Landies. There are a couple of SA80s knocking about, but they're not up to the standard of some of the stuff that's out there, like the Lost Brothers weapons and FlipeR's M4A1 pack- granted, both are examples of ace addons, but surely us Brits deserve some ace guns too?
-
Well mos those weapon already done or are in progress...
SA-80. several out there, a couple are ok..
GPMG, well there is the one the FAlklands mod is doing, Ok its a wait but tis worth it...
SLR. use the FAL its more or less the same weapon with automatic enabled
-
Seeing as how CBFASI's raf base project is coming along nicely, would anyone consider making some of the airfield vehicles, i.e. RAF Fire & Rescue appliances, TMVs, yellow landies and 'the caravan'?
-
I've just got back from Southport Airshow ;D and I've had some ideas for some great UK addons, like Harrier Gr.Mk.7's and, even though a utility version of the Lynx is under construction by the Falklands team (I think) a eight-tube TOW armed one would be pretty sweet. Surely a Harrier could work kinda like a fast heli, so it whips along but is still really agile and can hover (with autohover engaged)?
Oh, and they had a new heli called the Merlin there, kinda like a CH-53 Stallion with a UH-60 Blackhawk front section on it... really big and three-engined, so i guess it goeslike a flying truck on adrenachrome- great for OFP!! :D
Anyone heard of this beaut? It's maybe a little bigger than a Sea King (I think) but nowhere near as big as a Chinook (again, I think). If I find a pic I'll post it.
-
That merlin is sweet, its very quiet while approaching you but when it passes put ear defenders on, we had a surpirse vist from one last year at Chivenor Open day, even the Yanks were impressed..
-
this one? pretty damn funky alright.
(http://ukmams-oba.lweb.net/merlin3.jpg)
*edit* better photo
-
It would be great to see all of this kit - i'm a Brit and PROUD of it ;), lets hope that some of this gets released, as i have seen far too many ideas dissapear. Keep up the good work lads,
Landy Landy Landy ;)
cplme - check your e-mail
-
i agree, hurry up and release them dammit ;)
now I know it takes a long time and i'm willing to wait as long as it takes (just like all you 02 sufferers)
-
The Merlin is currently working up to readiness with 28 at Benson.
-
Oh my sainted aunt, the Merlin is cool ;D
It doesn't so much go "WHOPPA-WHOPPA-WHOPP!!" like a normal heli (please, bear with me), it goes "whippa-whippa-whip!"
Erm..... anyway.... :-[
I would love to see a full brit campaign if enough addons are released (Shameless Plug....perhaps based on the novel I've been trying to write... Shameless Plug). It doesn't feel as stirring for me, as a Brit, to have defeated the commie hordes for Uncle Sam. But if we make British soldiers, we'll need extra actions such as "honk about food," "brew up" and, my personal favourite, "call the rupert a f****** c*** with your mates."
Otherwise it wouldn't be right. ;D
(That last bit was a humourous comment, and if I offended anyone, I'm very sorry and didn't mean any offence to any race, gender, institution or whatever you can think of)
-
yeah we should have an object like the fire, a kettle or a little parrafin stove, and have a new action, 'make cup of tea'. it could act as a portable field hospital, and heal broken friends.
-
I would definately like to see a brew up mod ;D
You could implement a battle nerve system and go into cover for a cuppa to get some strength back for fighting.
you could also have a billy can for worm soups etc :D
-
tea? TEA???!
we dont have "tea" round here laddie! the action will have 2 say "Get a brew goin" or summat like that or u wont get ne takers
cud also have "Have a kefuddle" and this action calls all ur squad round 2 sit down and then u could use the "Get a brew goin" action
addon idea- a racing spoon (for gettin bits of every1s food wen they cook summat up) no real purpose except it makes everythin a little more british :D (altho apparently the spoons the sas got off the americans did make the ideal racing spoon so i guess it will always b them comin up wiv the technology)

I was also at the airshow on Sunday.. Was pretty damn good actually..
Best thing about it was the chance to see a Milan AT missile launcher (we are modelling it for the mod and we didn't have a front on view of it).
Good day was had by all...
-
So can we have a list, from the different people who are makin Brit addons, so that we can have a rough idea of what we're gonna get in the not so distant future? ;) Please.
P.S. Cplme - check your email
-
Ok...
Here's what British units we are making (some are finished) over at the Falklands Mod..
Air:
Sea Harrier
Harrier Gr3
C-130 Hercules
Possibly a Vulcan bomber
Puma Helicopter
Lynx Helicopter
Sea King Helicopter
Wessex Helicopter
Scout and Wasp helicopters
Gazelle Helicopter
Weapons:
L1A1 SLR
GPMG
Mk4 Bren
Sterling SMG (and silenced version)
Browning automatic handgun
Milan AT
Various Mortars
Artillery:
A few Field guns
Armoured/Transport:
Scorpion and Scimitar tanks
Samson
Land Rover
Sea:
HMS Invincible Carrier
a couple various types of destroyers
HMS Fearless and accompanying Landing craft
A few LSL's
I think that's as much as I can think of for the time being... ;D
-
The accompanying landing craft includes a rather simple mexeflote, if you have seen the real thing then you understand its simple anyway....
-
I'd love to see the full range (or even a couple of) Scorpion variants. The full list is something like this:
Scorpion CVR(T) (76mm gun)
Scimitar CVR(T) (30mm RARDEN)
Striker (Swingfire AT Vehicle)
Sultan (Command Post)
Samaritan (Ambulance)
Samson (Repair Vehicle)
Spartan (APC)
Shielder (Mine Deployment Vehicle)
Stormer(?) (30mm RARDEN and Hughes Chaingun)
And the one with the 90mm Cockeril gun (made for the Malaysians, I think)
They pretty much cover every role in OFP, and are faster than a fast thing, just a shame they seem to explode when the come in contact with a fart....
Oh, and I'd love to see a...
CHEIFTAIN!!!
As I said before, my dad drove both the Scorp and Cheify, as well as being a pretty good gunner (Best Gunner Spring Term 1974... not sure if he was in the Junior Leaders or the 14/20th then), so i can get any info on markings, as well as feedback on how they perform. It'll keep him from telling me about the way of removing a Chieftain breech block on your own, anyway ;D
-
Also:
Sabre: bastard offspring of a Scopion and Fox armoured car. Pretty similar to a Scimitar but with a lower profile turret.
Spartan (Milan variant) with 2 Milan tubes in launch positions.
Stormer (Starstreak HVM variant) with an 8 tube AA missile mount.
(http://www.army-technology.com/projects/starstreak/starstreak5.html)
Stormer 30 (Recon variant) with Bushmaster II 30mm cannon, 2 TOW tubes
(http://www.army-technology.com/projects/stormer30/index.html)
-
Yeah, thanx for the reply Ash :D, the units MadGav is suggesting are great, because they are Missile launchers Milan -AT, Starstreak AA, with the missiles in the tube - which means that there's no Proxy missile problem ;D
Anyone willing to make 'em?
-
Hi guys i am back sorry that I havnt been on latley there is no update on my bedford as I am having a few problems but they should be sorted out soon about my website will be updatd soon as I have a few things that will be added cheers cplme
-
Nice to see your back Cplme, keep up the good work, I look forward to it ;)
---===OFF TOPIC===---
P.S. Did you you get my e-mail cplme?
-
I sure did I just cant remember what was in it ill check later bit busy at the moment so i see me topic has been very busy latley a lot of stuff wanted.
-
I'm starting a new campaign, and was wondering if I could be necky and use some of these ace addons in it (if it gets made, I put some requests up in the training depot today though).
Ash, please don't take this as me being cheeky, but would it be at all possible to use your Gympi in my campaign? I'll even thank you and your team THREE time in the readme!!
If anyone want some info on my campaign, mail me, and if anyone wants to help, look for Hoffman's Luck in the Training Depot. It's half-based on a novel I'm finishing up, which itself subverts the original Flashpoint story and introduces a load of Brit squaddies to the equation (namely 2nd Battalion Royal Green Jackets, 2RGJ, and elements of the King's Royal Hussars, unless the 14/20th Hussars were still around in '85).

Sorry m8.. But we are only releasing a few addons, and unfortunetly the GPMG aint one of them.... :-\
When the mod is finished however, you can apply to use them in your mod.. ;)
-
Okay, okay, I'll mention you and your team FIVE times, dammit! ;D
Ah well... guess I'll have to hang fire then and try my luck with applying to use it. Thanks for the quick reply though, Ash.
BTW, does anyone know if the 14/20th Hussars were around in 85? And was the SA80 in use, or was the good old SLR still in? And does my bum look big in this? ???
-
As far as my knowledge goes the SA80 wasnt in service until 89 but when my dad was in the army i think that was in 84 or 85 they were testing it in Colombia or somehere around there.
OFF TOPIC
Mr_Shady you got my email
-
--Off Topic--
Sure did cplme, the job's yours. Thanks for the info on the SA80 too.
--On Topic--
Has anyone considered making the Saracen six-wheeler or the Ferret and Fox scout cars? Tres cool ;D
-
Can we have a check on who's doing what addons in the forum?
I'll start:
Shady, Cplme and Wires: Hoffman's Luck (working title) campaign :D
Now come on guys! Get with the plan! ;D
-
Am I the only one posting anymore? ;D
Hullo?
Anyone?
Okay I'll be quiet now.
-
well im making a sa 341/342 gazelle which should be textured soon, and ive made a warrior model, and i know someone that has made a centurion mbt
-
Hey you guys are getting me out of a job I wanted to do the chieftain mbt oh well i will make another one
-
Can't remember who was asking but,
14/20th were in Munster in 1990 and went to the Gulf as part of 4(UK) Armd Brigade. One Squadron (I think it was C) were at the time the Berlin Armoured Squadron. When they all got back from the Gulf I think they pretty much amalgamated(or however the hell it's spelt) straight away.
Stally would be great to see, but Bedfords that don't go more than about 30 miles an hour when there's more than 1 degree of incline would be fun.
SA80 began to be issued in late 1985/early86 but only to units in Northern Ireland. It's first kill wasn't much later. Apparently the IRA complained that giving the Squaddies such an accurate rifle "just wasn't fair". SLR didn't leave service until at least 1993, would have been around longer if half the Armed Forces hadn't been laid off by the Tories.
Cheers Smudge
-
Thanks Smudge :). My old man was a tankie in the 14/20th but he left in the 70's.
Well, I guess we'll stick with the good old SLR, eh cplme? Just a quick mod job, would you say? New sound maybe...
Notice that I'm not making the addons, that's why i make it sound soooooo easy, lol ;D
and our site's up, thanks to the boy wonder cplme :D
Oh, and dude, it's 86.... but no matter, I'll just delete all references to 86 in my stuff and put 85 there instead, ;D
It's easier that way
-
Completley agree with that mr_shady shouldnt be to hard anyways got to do some stuff on the site......
-
Come on guys... keep the thread alive!
--Off Topic--

Hi lads (and ladies) anyway I have progress on the bedford and it is about 60 maybe 70% finished however i might have to rebulid it but if i do that it wont take long for aa very special reason which will remain a secret... The bad news is it will not be realesed seperatly as of yet as it is part of the mod.... However it will be released after my mod has completled its first campaign.......
KevBaz check your pms
cheers cplme
-
Nice to see it's progressing, dont suppose you could give us a some sneak preview pics could you?
-
Erm...... NO!!
Just cuz we've not... erm.... got any yet....... ahem :-[
Wires has made an SLR, I'm just waiting for him to reply regarding alterations... and I've tried to some work lately, but I'm easily distracted, so.... hang on, there's a spider on my desk- hang on a minute while I catch the little bugger...
;D
-
Well the minor alterations are done, trying to hunt down a really good sound still though.
-
cool, keep it up dude. I'd kiss you if you weren't on the other side of the planet for putting an SLR into OFP!!
:-*
lol ;D

Warrior
Pretty Please
Have reference photo's if required
-
I was going to twist cplme's arm until he made one, but they weren't in service in 85 (when our mod's set). So we can't help you, sorry. We'll have a spiffy FV432 though..... ;D
-
wernt in the falklands either so we wont be doing one im afraid but u will get a scorpion and a simitar also a samson aswell :D
-
I wonder if anyone would make the version of the FV430 APC that had the £00mm RARDEN cannon from the scimitar lumped on top but then again it only ever appeared in the BAOR and they only had 10-20 of them.
Ok so that is a bit pie in the sky but i would love to see a stawlwart(esspecially if i can be made to shoot flames from the exhaust :) )
-
is someone making the chieftan, or the scimitar.
Will they be done any time soon
-
The good ol' Chiefy and the Scim are gonna be in the Hoffman's Luck Mod, as are the Scorp, 432 and a few others that have escaped my mind ATM.
That is, if the lazy buggers that I've hired get working.... what do I pay them for?
Hang on, I don't pay them...... hm... maybe I'll just poke them with sticks...... ;D
-

Dries tears. If you don't ask. But they are great for racing and the brakes are spiffing...
Will the 432 have all its real life attributes?

Falklands War MOD BREN model by me textures by NZPsychoKiwi

www.flashpoint1982.co.uk
-
Going from Memory, was the straight Bren mag 20 rounds and the curved one 40?
downloaded o2 and busy proving why the unwashed masses shouldn't have it - Gimpy SF - textures a nightmare
-
Yay, now that the animation files can be ed'ed or made from scratch, all those important British soldiery things like brewing up and smoking a fag are within our grasp... and it looks like Hoffman's Luck will have a love scene after all.... ;D
-
... and it looks like Hoffman's Luck will have a love scene after all.... ;D
Beast with two backs? Now there's an animation.
A whole new genre opens up - textures for opf porn...
Or there's Mortar animations (to keep on topic)
-
Who said anything about doing the dirty? I meant having the protagonist holding hands with his girlfriend at the end.... honestly ;)
I'd like to serioudly like to see some idle anims for cutscenes, like cleaning rifles or looking at a map or leaning against a vehicle, that'd make cutscenes that little bit more realistic. Especially for British mods, considering that the average squaddie spends more time drinking tea or farting than soldiering ;D
-
Now there's and idea for inter-mission cut scenes, a Bedford struggling up a hill full of farting squaddies or soldiers on guard duty idly ripping sandbags to bits with a bayonet. :D
-
Or, for my dad, a chieftain full of squaddies farting and slumping out of the hatches, p**sed as farts, swearing and giggling.

Thought I'd post these here in case anyone fancies doing a Stolly (Alvis Stalwart), otherwise I'll probably have a go once I finish me Landies. The pages have got a couple of scale drawings on them all in profile ;)

Hi guys its been a long time since I last posted on here.
Anyway firstly a lot of stuff is going on now.. YAY
Kevbaz I am loving that Landing craft and Mortars.
Also what is the sitrep on The Lynz cos i am absoulty gagging to fly this baby around.
Last but not least Evis If ya reading this whats your sitrep on the Gazelle
Cplme out for now ;D
-
Glad u like em
The lynx is 95% done, and the gazelle, sea king and wessex are yet to be started but they r in the production line, we are currently trying to concentrate on some decent soldier units, as we are hating showing off weapons using that yank model all the time.
The landy is roughly 60-70%
Bren just needs a new sight along with the GPMG and the silenced sterling smg.
When we got new news ill update here :D
-
Very impressed, can't wait for the whole caboodle to be released.
Looks like my LR Defender could soon be joined by it's older brother, the Series III, are you planning on doing different versions and is it going to be a seperate release or only with the mod?
-
We are doing a few different versions of the landy, forces lwb & swb and also the islanders will have their own swb
as for a pre mod release im not sure whats been decided ill let you know when i do
-
Oooo a civie one too, I hope it will be in blue and white rather than that horrible brown and cream, who in their right mind ever thought brown would be a good colour for a car and why wasnt he shot? The 70's have got a lot to answer for!
-
Yup blue and white :D
-
Yay
-

*BUMP*

-
lads, im making d samaritan, warrior, fv432, saladin. green goddess (for d raf airfield) samson abbot 90mm, bv206 and a supply forklift. and i built a spartan with aa missiles similar 2 d scamitar
-
I made a samson, still not sure if its worth putting into the mod, as we onyl had one in the war, but its there if we need it
Early Beta image, much more work done to it scince this pic was taken
(http://www.kevbaz.com/Falklands/bazsamson2.jpg)
-
what 3d program did you use for it, I think it looks good, especially if it had desert camo.
-
I made it in milkshape its ok, as i said i added more detial to it scince the pic, and we still dont knwo if its worth putting in the mod, if we have time we will i think but it aint important
-

Samaritan, COOL. I used to command one of these (dam RMA course).
I was a driver, gunner and operator on Chieftain, Challenger and Challenger II so its great to see all this stuff coming out. :P
As for the Samaritan can the Medic jump out and say 'ere have two brufin and a tubie grip and get on with it', just for old times sake?
-
i have just started building a new tank the sultan i believe. Of course i havent added the pure detail, but you get the drift of what the tank look's like. As for the picture it looks a bit RAW, due to the speed im building it. (Im building them when i shold be doing revision for my AS-level exams)
Oh yeah this chieftan bridge tank. if there was one built, what coding would be used to dump the bridge. Which would then be suitable to drive over any suggestions
oh yeah if intressted i have just built the warrior, fv432, spartan, spartan with missiles (AA missile)
-
this is my version of the striker, i need to change the turret etc, so it look more like the striker

Both looking good. The Sultan isnt a tank its a CV. Sorry to be picky!
-
roger that.......... u recon dey would b ok for release
-
I def want that Sultan. I used to operate in one, ah the memories pissing in the ops officers brew. Good times ;)
-
the sultan, did it have a seperate drivers compartment or was it open to the back? Trying to build the internal part of the tank oh yeah if any one wants any cool info aboout tanks, apc's wheeled apc's etc go to
http://www.ifrance.com/ArmyReco/europe/Angleterre/Angleterre_index_materiel.htm however it is a french website so u may need to translate a few pages.....

It isnt a seperate compartment. It does have a green plastic pull down curtain for cutting out light or gay officers! So you could make it with the curtain down as this was the sop.
-
is the layout similar to the spartan? You dont have any pictures by any chance of the internal and external parts?
-
Inside a Sultan CV
-
ok cheers, ive finally got a pic of the CV u might want very badly, so i thought i would tease u while i try and lower the poly count so i can do the internal part. THE red crosses will be replaced with textures when added into o2
-
Very nice. Its a rear basket is a little high and its rear-view mirror arms a little to big.
-
yeah i agree with the basket at d back (the blueprints never tell the truth) any way i go away and fix that...........The sultan is coming on nicely, and hope to texture it on monday or sunday
-
Cool. Going to have to learn all this myself some day.
-
i was bout to ask if u knew how to build models? any way if u wanna get started there is a program called gmax........... try www.discreet.com and then products and then gmax..............its free but its 20mb
-
d/l now!
-
noo just a suggestion...............
-
ive now got the hatches sorted, etc and i am starting to texture both the sultan and samaritan,
-
and the samaritan. next tank will proberbly the FV-432 (ambulance) or the fv-439 (c&c) or maybe the bedford (BUT uk forces are already building it 1 so its very unlikly). If all other projects become complete I will build a
-
Any chance of the Spartan? It's the personnel carrier model in the Scorpion/Scimitar series. Very similar to the Sultan and Samaritan, but with a lower profile if I remember rightly.
-
yeah ive just built it.......wat you think about the tanks ive built?
-
I like, I like!!!:D
When ?
-
lovely jubbly! Keep it up mate!
-
ive now got the hatches sorted, etc and i am starting to texture both the sultan and samaritan,
Very nice, however the commanders hatch should not be that far open. I would say its last stop is atleast 10 degrees.
-
im not sure when im going to release........however i need to take a chill pill and start to texture the models instead of making new ones (overload trying to texture them........animate them and add them)..........swift

I've got a half-finished Stolly O2 on my hard drive if your interested, I started it as a side line to the Land Rover's prior to joining UKF.
*Edit*
It's got no textures and the cab interior isn't quite finished (I think), haven't looked at it for a while, I'll dust it off and post some pics tonight
-
tankieboy dis better
-
Swift88/Jack Perryman I believe?
You did show me many of your models, but didnt mention you wanted to join, iv just looked back over all those mails to check ;-), maybe you was trying to hint at the idea of joining, by showing me all these pics, but as it stands we are fine for modellers, and need good texture artists, more modellers would just pile up the texture work we need doing, which we dont want :-P
also maybe your question to DeLiltMon would of been better suited as a forum IM ;-), aswell as my post here, doh :-X *puts his moderators hat back on*
p.s what a wide thread this is :-D

I need a widescreen monitor lol.
All is looking good swift, keep up the good work.

while my project has taken its time..............its slowy coming to an end on both the warrior, sultan and fv432. heres a pic of my sultan warrior and fv432
(http://www.roughnecks.org/opgwc/news/fv432_1.jpg)
the fv432 wasnt textured by me!!

and a smaritan with textures im editing
[img removed]smaritantex.jpg[/img]
medic!
-
not bad, the textures look a bit dull, but since you only just begun them i am sure they get better
-
well ive only just figured out texturing, so ive nearly figured O2.............next how to figure out cpp's.......but i can get my mod to do that
-
errr it may look dull, because the bags on the side havent got there textures. and i havent added the cammo netting and extra items including smoke grenades and other stuff
[img removed]samsontex.jpg[/img]
-
I wonder why people don't bother with working smoke dischargers on tanks. It'd be great if only for the visual aspect. In MP, it'd be great as it'd work as in real life, and when that sneaky git with the RPG's about to prang your tank, it's just a matter of "click- BOOSH!" and you can do a Houdini.
-
yeah but an even sneaker player, can turn off the smoke effects lol
