As a few of you know, i'm working on a conversion to convert DoD's fine British Troops to todays britain urban underlcass. I've been working on this skin today. Thing is, the Shirt ends really high up near the waist, so I put a bit of the shirt texture where the leg texture should be so the shirt goes down the leg a bit more, so it doesn't look like it's tucked in. There's one small problem.

There's a little white line at the front of the shirt, I thought I could fix this by making the 2 different textures the same colour, but it still didn't work, I can't seem to get rid of the damn line. Is it the way the model is, or Is there something wrong with the skin. It's a minor problem that kind of ruins the shirt a bit.

On topic....Heh, I know it's amateurish, but I'm a nub, so it's the concept that counts.

I could use some criticism/advice about the skin so I can make the final version much better when I compile all of the Chav Total conversion content together and release the Pack.

BEST. MSA. THREAD. EVER.

You should really change their faces to something more young though. Other than that, the Reebok sweatpants and Nike socks and shoes are a nice touch.

ps - chav is a British term for white people who act (or try to) like black gangstas, AKA Ali G (but Ali G is the only cool chav).

pss - MAKE AN ALI G MODEL!!!

I have no idea how to fix the line, but you could give the models a different shirt that would downplay it. Like a darker shirt or one with stripes.

And I just thought of something that might go well with your pack. A gold reskin of all the default weapons. A gangsta gots to have his gold.

Wow, I'd hit it chav or not. Seriously though, Brits seem to have a lot more hate for chavs then probably the American or some other country does.

Enjoy the dose of the clap mate.

As for the hatred thing, it's hard to like someone after you get smashed over the head with a plank of wood and then booted on the floor by one. My house has also been robbed 4 times by little Charv *******s.

@ Supernova. Too bloody right mate, how people call them working class is beyound me. If standing in line for your dole payout is a job I'll agree with them, but as far as I know it ain't.

Good work on the skins so far, I'm tempted to make a White Lightening bottle for a knife replacement now :p

I think you did a really nice job there Simon. Looks really stylish :D

Btw, I think Chav is used from the Jiddisch alfabeth were Chaver means 'friend'.
In holland we have equivalents called 'gabbers', also from the Jiddisch (and it also means 'friend').

Funny skin though :)

I see you got your hat.

Have you decided how you're going to take on the shirt line problem?

Charver is also an old English slang term for 'tea boy' I believe.

I guess that's it then. I was just speculating and thereby: I'm Dutch. :)

Mabye, the tea boy thing doesn't make sense to me though. Back when you'd say something like that most 'tea boys' would of been black or Indians (where most of the colonies were back then). You're average Charv is an over weight white kid with a skin head :p
