Hello!

It's a pleasure to release this player model set I compiled yesterday from some of the best pieces of paratrooper sets I've ever seen. I, personally, see this as the "ultimate" Easy Company and Band Of Brothers player model set. Credits go to many people in this community including Vandori, Nomad, Nixon, Trigger, Devin Kryss, and Russ Conscript.

All credit for these wonderful faces goes to the very talented "Medal of Honor: Band of Brothers Modification" team. http://www.planetmedalofhonor.com/bob/

Also included are correct replacement helmets.

The players go as follows:

Liebgott - M1 Garand
Lipton - M1 Carbine
Compton - M1A1 Thompson
Spiers - Grease Gun
Martin - BAR
Malarkey - Springfield 1903
Randleman - .30 Caliber Machine Gun

(I know the actors/soldiers don't match up with their assigned weapons. It's almost impossible to do that given the multitude of similar weapons.)

Enough chatter, on to the screenshots...

Comments are more than welcome. If your name was left off the credits, please forgive me... There is quite a "modge podge" of things here. I will gladly give you credit where credit is due.

EDIT: Thanks to Lt. Firmalo for the uniform textures. Visit page two of this thread for replacement faces - including Winters, Guarnere, Luz, and more!

Currahee!

I am getting a "forbidden" error when I try to view the screenshots. :(

My apologies, the screenshots should be fixed now.

As soon as i read the bit about of BoB face textures i thought 'oh no' as the previous packs released with those on look a bit weird as the faces don't fit but I've gotta say I was quite plesantly suprised.

They really do look good, very nice work higgins. This is probally the first BoB pack i've seen that has good faces on it. Bloody nice work mate,

Ska

they're really well done, cud u do a great Winters pelase? :D for garand?

Wow wow wow. I can't believe you were able to pull of something like this. I wish I could've pulled of the same thing with my BoB pack *Hacks DODEc and deletes Lt. Firmalo's BoB pack*

Good job! I'm using these :)

edit
BTW I think I was one of the people you left out on the credits. Credits for the uniform texture please :)

They're looking good, Julian. Except I think the actual uniform has been darkened too much and has become a dark brown mess.

very nice higgins.. best BoB faces so far

wow nice faces

get luz on the carbine and winters inthere

Wow, you have out done yourself.. this pack looks amazing.

Hope you dont mind but I added a mirror over @ DoD Supply (http://www.dodsupply.co.uk).

phokus :D

Awsome work. Great pack! thanks.

these are the best BoB skins evar:cool:

but i couldnt hold my self back i had to show you this:D

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


haha- i thought that face looked like something else!

good job dude.

Hate to be the lone nay-sayer here, but I honestly don't think those look as good as Firmalo's version 3 pack (maybe the rest of you are thinking of the version 1 pack?) The faces don't really look like their counterparts and don't look as realistic as Firmalo's. Decent attempt though.

im gonna have to make another set of paras... imo these have become over used..

gj though, im surprised the mod team let you use those faces.

but i dont undestand when you say you compiled them and what not.. all i see is a few skin changes.

also in your read me what are you referring to with this:

"- Added standard 101st EZ double-logo helmet. "

Well, we all have our opinions. I think the color looks decent enough... Basically a darker recolor of Lt. Firmalo's open collar uniform texture - which is the default uniform with an open color. I think it adds a later war "grimy" feel to it.

"- Added standard 101st EZ double-logo helmet."

I mean compiled in the sense that I gathered all the necessary components to make construct these skins, and put the effort into making them into this specific pack. For example I edited and fit the face textures to the models, recolored and retextured certain textures I didn't like/didn't fit, added a couple extra skin features I had lying around my harddrive from a while ago.

Not to mention I was the original creator of a few things that went into this pack such as the base boot texture, the chinstrap for the helmet, and the badoleer to name a couple. So by saying I compiled them means, basically, I didn't have a hand in alot of the original material - but I arranged the skins so that they better represented what I thought looked like E Company. (The actors representation, anyway.)

What I meant by "adding" the double logo helmet, was that I edited a current helmet texture to have the double spade logo for Easy Company.

I will see if I can edit a couple of the textures and release them as replacements for the current players. Sadly, due to DoD's default head, it's hard to get alot of the characters trademark looking faces.

good work in fitting the faces and all.. but i think your mistaken, i made that spade texture on the helmet...i made it for the 101st set i made a while back..

:EDIT: nvm looks like u made your own, i just compared mine to yours...my mistake :)

GJ capty higgy :D

Thanks Buck but I myself think that Cpt. Higgin's work is the best BoB skin out there so keep this thread alive!

LoL he does somehow look like elvis :D

Wow....................................
I don't care what faces they have, I like the rest of the models so much I'm onna use em

Oh, what the Hell... Let's throw in Shifty at no extra charge!

Thank You very much capt!

I figured you'd be into the Shifty face, even though it's not one of the most accurate faces in the bunch... Heh.

lol :p

Great work Higgins, can't wait for your 3rdID set if it's still being done.

really? i dont notice any inaccuracies (is that a word?)

I guess my biggest qualm with some of the looks of the faces is that the shape of the head (DoD default infantry head) is too wide or big to fit some of the characters. Ah, well.

By the way, our 3rd ID skins are coming along nicely... We're going to be going for a mostly late 3rd ID look. In speaking to a couple 3rd ID veterans, I was able to tack down the best ideas for the look of the late war uniforms. Double buckle boots, with M43 jackets and such... I'm excited to get those done with soon.

is it going to be a new model, or just another reskin?

No, it will not just be a reskin. The model is being constructed from the ground up.

u wanna add trigger's 3rd armored "skater helmets" on them? ;)

ETA?

lol Higgy, I had the same problem with the head models coz some BOB characters had fat or thin faces and it was hard to make em look like the actual BoB people if the model isn't the right shape.

I can't wait for the 3rdID release. AFG, Why would you add skater helmets? :)

*whispers* For christ's sake don't ask! He's got this weird fetish/obsession with Trigger's tanker helmets lol He wants them on EVERYTHING! :D

Ska

Did someone say new allied models? :D:D:D:D

/me can't wait :D :D

Can you retake those screenshots with a lightblue background, you can't see the faces too well.

The zip file is under one meg... Why not just download it, open it up, and look at the bitmaps?

By the way, they will not have the tanker helmets on them - heh. These are infantry, and what do you do in the infantry? Ya march, ya march, ya march! (http://www.3rd-infantry-division.net/downloads/music/WWII%20-%20Glenn%20Miller%20&%20the%20AAF%20Band%20-%20What%20Do%20You%20Do%20in%20the%20Infantry.mp3) There is currently no ETA on the models yet. We have the pants, boots, and jacket modeled as well as some of the gear. We're going to be using pieces of the default gear, so that makes thing's a little bit easier.
Shouldn't be too long of a wait if all goes to plan.

I'll throw in a couple of win sounds from that song, maybe Dogface Soldier too, just specify a length and I'll whip them up.

Dam I look sexy !

Nj Captian, thx for the credits :D

Cheers,
Nix

2ltben: Feel free to make victory songs out of anyone of those you want. It might make for an interesting sound pack to release.

Nixon: No problem at all! Thank you for your great work.

"Spoonman I am together with your plan"

These really are good. But i really love your faces firmalo, but i liked the this one's uniform. So i save firmalo's face textures and put them on his. OOO what joy!

Hey, whatever works for you... I rather like these faces, because while they are not exact photos of the characters, they do have the more "cartoony" sort of look that most of DoD has in it's weapon, vehicle, and map models
