Coming soon: The Winter Fin-Rus!
« on: February 14, 2003, 02:06:30 AM »
The Winter Fin-Rus version is coming at least by the end of March. We are now making winter camouflage skins to vehicles and airplanes. Kweassa promised to help me with couple of skins, but I need one or two skin makers more!

ARE THERE ANY VOLUNTARY SKIN MAKERS TO MAKE THE WINTER CAMOUFLAGES TO FINRUS?;)

I have all the summer skins ready, we can use them and paint them over with white camo, it's not a big job, I suppose...

WMaker is catching coloured profiles and black/white pictures to skinners, they looks like the picture below.

Here is Kweassa's Coooooool looking Curtiss P40B Tomahawk "White 58" in her new winter jacket! :p

These are the first version of winter tiles by Dux. We are trying to add there a little bit green "dot's" like trees without snow (snow is only on the ground).

We keep the waters open without ice, so we can imagine that this is first snow in october - november 1943.

This picture is from Norway coast and Arctic Ocean.

Kweassa: here's the Boston III to you!;)

The text below the picture means that Finns Antti Tani shoot this Boston down in Hiitola (Karelian Isthmus) 14th october 1943 with his Bf 109 G2 (MT-204)...:D

Hey Kanttori - can you paint a PANZER IV to make it look like a T-34/85?  :D

Here's Kweassa's IL2 in her winter clothes. We are only changing those (Ukraina?) markings to signs from Karelian Front and it's ok! Kweassa, profile pictures are coming soon!;)

And look those trees! Dux added snow to my pines and they're just like in real world in my courtyard (looking out just now). Dux, when you have been in my courtyard? Is it you who drank my beers last weekend?:D

Ps. maybe we must take off the leaves from the birches... :rolleyes:

Lol... You Finns are crazy when it comes to saunas! I know; I have realtives from Finland.

Sit in a 300-degree sauna for an hour, and then dive nude into a snowdrift!  :eek:

It would take A LOT of beer to get me to do that!  :)

Dux, only The Heaven is better place than The Sauna and The Sauna is almost The Heaven!;)

And yes, you're right, we are getting cooled in the snow in winter and in the lake in summer! And I have done it in winter between ices in lake, too...:D

Now the Fin-Rus Skin Team is: Kweassa and Ramzey!

We have still room to couple of new ones, because the deadline is after two weeks! Please, contact me:

I have edited Dux's Winter tiles and the Norway coast looks now like this in the morning light. This is Alta town and Airfield.

Actually the morning light should be blue, but this is default HTC's Lightning System Show and the light is red! :D

The seas and lakes has in Finland area always ice in the winter time, so I covered them with it. Now it looks like winter must look!;)

This is Lappeenranta town's Airfield in South Finland. My son Lukkari and friend WMaker (both good AH players) live here between the "Lake Finland" area.

Maybe they have shot you down sometimes...? :D
