Using!

Good stuff..

The face looks like a mix between George Bush and Clint Eastwood

Normal maps?

Looks awesome, your best so far.

I like the high res. The face is a little too old. Im not a big fan of camo on allies.

nice skin!

But I'm also a big fan of at least trying to attain some realism when possible, and I think I can count on one hand the number of US Marines in the European Theater.

there was 1 unit issued camo uniforms in the European theater

In the summer of 1944, the U.S. Army issued a limited number of the 2 piece HBT camouflage uniform. Troops of the 41st Armored Infantry Battlion (2nd Armored Division) were the primary recipients. Due to a large number of "friendly fire" incidents, the uniforms were withdrawn around the end of August. Apparently, anyone wearing camouflage was considered to be German. Original examples are very rare are quite expensive today.

If anyone wants to make a camo uniform for the allies this would be the one to emulate.

This is the unit patch

Wile E Coyote I learn so much from you!

I think this skin would be perfect if you just removed the camo. As Wile explained (for the realism). If you could do that this skin would be the best!

@ Wile E Coyote: i already knew about that information but thanks anyway. It is true that there have been only few incidents of marines using camo but also allow me to quote what you wrote ..

as you can see here (http://www.battlefront.com/resources/poc/america_north/america_north_us.html) i took the original camo of these few incidents :cool:

Which makes the skin realistic again. Maybe not very propable but still realistic.

So i just consider my skin to be one of the few who had the doubtful honor of wearing this camo uniform ;)

Maybe my next skin wont use camo then. I just like using camo on my skins because it gives a more detailed look in my opinion.

Actually the incident I posted and the incident your link provided are one in the same.

Well then I must be completely honest with you, the camo pattern didn't look very much to me like the one used by the U.S. (maybe it is too faded or the pattern too large on the model, or both). Also, you called them Marines, so I pretty much thought you had just made the camo pattern up.

But no worries man! the idea isn't to please every single person out there. The idea is to do the best skin you can and what makes you happy (we aren't gettin' paid for this). Look at my skins. I'm never making them all blody and dirty no matter how many people ask ;) I'm leaving that to other folks!

Your work is good; it has definitely improved.

If u ask me I think u and Wile E should make a skin together.

wow exactly what i thought :eek:

Everything but the camoflague pattern on the skins looks fantastic. If you were choosing to use the rare instance the U.S. Army used camoflague in the European theatre, you should have probably used the green "jungle" camo side instead of the khaki "sand" camo side.

Either way, nicely done!

I do think this skin would be awesome if u used captain Higgin's skin's body I believe

I Love Both the axis and the allied skins you did, but the only thing thats holding me back from using them are the camo patterns, if the uniforms had the normal apperance that a the majority soldiers had in world war 2 i would use em without a doubt, the skins have such great detail on them, but the camo patterns keep me away :( great work tho!

OKay.. i will release another one without the camo :)

Stay tuned :D

i will release my next axis skin first though, base on that. (http://www.1944militaria.com/44_dot_tunic3a.jpg)

Greetingz :)

@Wile E Coyote: thanks, haha.. yeah i dunno why but i dislike the dirt and blood too :D

That would be awesome :) and after you do the allied one also, if you have the time do a splinter cammo for the german one too :P I <3 splinter cammo or any fallschirmjager type cammo ;).

ok the model works but the sleeves still look the same when ur on allies
did u just not make a skin for that or did i do sumtin wrong????

All skinners can learn alot from Wile E. I've been using his sounds and skins forever now and his passion for detail/realism is above reproach.

/end brown nosing :cool:

This thread is old.....

so what if its old i would still like an answer to why the sleeves dont work :(

Funny thing is, I don't even remember posting that!

Sounds like it was a good idea tho :D
