Title: Can someone make me a simple wooden boat?
Post by: HelmutS on 03 Jul 2005, 11:59:49
With the excellent Liberation 41'-45' mod out there, I was trying to simulate a WW2 river crossing/bridge capture.

Just to find out that there are no small belivable boats around. There's a ton of zodiacs and large warships, but that's not what I would need.

In WW2, they used small "engineer-boats" made out of wood and rubber, merely more than a wooden rowing boat, sometimes even less sophisticated. Something like seen in this article

http://ww2.pstripes.osd.mil/01/sep01/ed090801j.html

just less modern.

For any good addon maker it should be a small job. Anyone's interested?

no, he doesn't mean a sampan. he's talking about a small boat used in WW2 for crossing rivers. they use these boats in the movie "A Bridge Too Far". the bottom was flat and made of wood, and the sides were canvas. it was manouvered using small wooden paddles, or rifle butts.

I just wanted to start the same topic :)
The're zodiak boats - without motor it can be used, but creating туц boat is much better idea.
I need model of boat ( with 6-8 cargo proxy's) and paddle - I'll deal with the rest (anims and config ).
I'd like to see wooden one

thats not wooden thats a rubber dingy
anyway i saw somewhere  a picture of a russian during the siege of leningrad he had a rubber ring type thing around him with an oar on it. wondered if it will be possible to make that for op flash. thought it might be appropriate
all i can think of for bdfy is just a retextured zodiac

Why not. Make such a  model with the only proxy. I'll try to get suitable anims.

PS If you don't mind please contact me by email ;)
