MAJOR MOD ANNOUNCEMENT--Super Action Pack Accessory Kit: Pants!

[AndrewTF]

Oops, sorry, I meant to say MINOR mod announcement. Well, it did get your attention, didn't it? tongue.gif

I've done some work improving the pants for the German army uniform pack, adding details like buckles to the gaiters.

I also made a pretty cool looking pair of splinter camo trousers that can be combined with the existing splinter camo mod or used like so:

"For the Fatherland" my butt! "For the hills" is more like it. That's what I get for buying green troops...

The inspiration for the camo pants was a trip to the Godforsaken realm known as "Toys-R-Us" to buy a gift for my spoiled neice. While the wife was busy comparing various annoying electronic "educational" pres-school toys I managed to slip away and found myself in the "action figures" section where I discovered, among other things, an angry-looking Wehrmacht GI-Joe type action figure with this get-up. They also had a fab 1/18 scale (!) Panther tank that my wife wouldn't let me buy :( Guess I'll just have to go back when she's not with me and find a place to hide something that big. I wish they had toys like that when I was I kid, although I doubt my parents would have ever bought me a Panther tank for Xmas...

I've also made a pair of olive drab HBT fatigue pants for the US 44 infantry.

I did steal the gaiter part of the texture from Maximus' mod of my original mod.

You must own the previously released Super Action Packs 1, 2, and 4 to use these mods. Batteries not included.

As soon as I get my computer unpacked at home (I just moved) I'll send them to the usual suspects. :D

I actually got that 1/18 scale panther you referred to. My ol'lady bought it for my B-Day this year. It comes in a nifty tri-color camo w/ many functioning hatches, functional tracks and road wheels, swivelling turret, elevating gun, tow cables, tool sets, spare track on hull, and a Rommel lookin' TC.

They also have a bitchin' 1/18 scale Kubelwagen w/ driver, and 1/32 scale armored car w/ 3man crew.

Go get that Panther! Damn the torpedoes!

...of course if I get the Panther I have to get the 1/18 scale Sherman that I saw, too, plus a bunch of those little 1/18 action figures to ride on the the backs of both. :D

[Clubfoot]

Ahhhhhhh yeahhhhh....

Very nice job again, Andrew. Best uniforms a CMer can get. smile.gif

Måkjager,
You posted some pics of some Panther mods you were working on a while ago. "Hasty" camo for Panther A was one of them I remember. Any progress on those? They looked very nice.

The G early and late are available at CMHQ. They're my favorite Panther mods now.

Yeah, I got that one. I think it was only for the Panther G but I could be mistaken. There was a really nice Panther A done in a "hasty" camo scheme that Makjager previewed at one time. Kinda looked like a mod Gordon did for the PzIV.

[AndrewTF]

One more thing--I kind of feel that I've run out of uniform mods to do. Any suggestions? I was thinking of doing reed-green HBT summer uniforms for the Germans, and maybe Afrika Korps and British desert uniforms. Is there anything anyone really wants to see? I'm taking requests for a limited time only... :D

You can also start thinking about uniform mods you'll want to do for CM2. No matter how good they are in the CM2, they'll most likely not be as high res as some of us are used to. You might as well get the research done, etc.

Yeah, I've been thinking about that. I do find it kind of hard to get that worked up about the Eastern Front, although this probably won't prevent me from buying (and playing and modding) CM:BB.

Sitzkreig/panzerwerfer42.....i have not made a Panther G Late mod.....that is a typo at CMHQ :(

That zip only contains a Zimmerit covered Panther G.

As for the Panther A----its still WIP

It still needs more wear and tear..also mb some tac/crosses.

My "mod work " roster is a mess...unable to focus at the moment...them damn Wespe/Marders have wrecked my head .

Thanks for the update, Makjager.

I'm looking forward to getting my hands on those, as well as your Marder/Wespe mods, when available.

Super Action Packs 1, 2, and 4! Where'd 3 go? And where'd 4 come from? Are the sponsor sites using these same name conventions? Arrrrggg, all I remember seeing is 1 and 2, i.e. on Combat Missions. Where/what is 4?

The uniform packs can be found at Tom's site (http://home.nexgo.de/tcmhq/TCMHQ.html) or Maximus' CMMOS version can be found at Madmatt's CMHQ.

Three's the Commonwealth pack, I think. To be honest, in all the confusion I've kinda lost track myself. Check Tom's HQ and all will be revealed.

[lcm1947]

I think #3 was the tankers uniforms if I rememeber correctly.

[lcm1947]

Oh I forgot to add - love the camo pants with the gray jackets. Excellent looking! I'll be using them for quite a while thank you. Thanks Andrew.

[Cos]

Nice mod there. My 1/18 scale Panther sits nicely on top of my monitor (nice to see one Panther not burning when I'm playing).

[KnockOnWood]

Is the trousers available anywhere yet?

[AndrewTF]

er, no, not yet. I'm having Internet connection problems at home and have not been able to mail them. Also, I made some tan water camo pants that need to be included in the set.

I'll try to have them available this week.

[KnockOnWood]

No hurry! smile.gif
Just had to check so I don't miss out on something. They look great to say the least.
