Title: 357th FG P-51 "Passion Wagon"
Post by: navajoboy on August 16, 2005, 07:59:29 PM
Here is a skin ive been working on. Passion Wagon is part of the 357th FG.
Weathering is not complete. Squad members were wondering what had happen to the development so i decided to show it. Suggestion are welcome, please dont request templates for modifications. :p

about 75% of rivets redone as well as 40% of the Panel Lines
All done with tons  of research of photos and descriptions. I am also lucky there is a couple of Ponys based in ND.

I know the panel and rivets are different today compared to the 40s, but i tried to stay as original as i could.

Looks cool except for the caricature of the Native American, that's just as offensive to me as the swastika


hmm?

Very cool Navajo, I know how hard you worked on this skin I watched you put many hours into it. But you may want to swap the swastikas with iron crosses, that would be the right thing to do.

Your Bud

not at all interested in templates but if you have close up pictures of rivet patterns of the real P-51 with good detail I would love to see them. still trying to decifer the fuselage rivets from pics I find on the internet. :(


btw add this or some version of it to your folder to get rid of the metalic glare... into a material.txt file.

Hey Navajo did you ever submit this fine piece work to HTC? I think it is the best one here.

If he ever did, they would have problems with the nekkid lady. I saw some other skin get turned down for the same reason.

You did a great job on the skin, it's too bad you're 'forced' into altering what it really looked like.

No swastika, no nipples?  cant have a pink nipple on a war machine, someone might get the wrong message.

Better hide the evil "gun" barrel, guns are too agressive and send the wrong message. The bombs too,.. a kid might get the idea to "toolshed" his neighborgood. Explosions should be replaced with the word 'poof' and authentic weapon sounds with a childs voice saying "bang bang you poop head" .

The .45 could easily be replaced with fingers or a Supersoaker.

I also think an AI therapist should be coded into the game to help us cope with killing / being killed....or for  even just seeing your own blood.

Then again the MA is totally fictional and doesnt resemble any conflict this world has ever seen, so why not have cartoon planes with fictional paint jobs..

Oh he means nothing by it, simple childs play is all. Bordem overtook his desire to be polite, nothing new, see it all the time.

School in a week or two! PEACE DAWG!
