I made this skin because of a request from Macbeth. Then
as I actually started working on it I realized how great it
was turning out, so I just said what the hell, I'll put it in the
release forum. So here it is, 9 hours [straight] of work put
into 1 single skin. Hope you guys like it :carrot:

I completely reskinned, retexed...bla bla bla, and also added
Wile E's Pvt. Josef face.

and gear to use as reference.

- Changed the color of the whole M1942 uniform, boots,
helmet, etc.

- Retextured all of the things listed above.

- Swapped the head and hands to Wile E's Pvt. Joseph's.

- Added the 82nd Airborne Patch on the sleeve [duh] :D

- Moved the cargo pockets on the jump pants down to the
knee area.

has new normals [thanks to Higgins].

-=NEW VERSION=-

Here is something I just thought of doing, adding face paint
to their faces. When looking at pictures of US paratroopers,
alot of them are wearing face paint either before or after
their jump. In my opinion, the face paint adds a little more
realism to this skin. It also looks better too lol.
[I'm using this one now xD]

I had to make the link have a list of all my skins because Filefront wasnt letting
me get the direct download link to work,
so just dowload the one at the very top of the list xD

'Taint bad at all.:)

very nice. but cant say original. cruzaderazn won that lol ;) :p but very nice. I just wish some one would attempt some german paratroopers (Fallschirmjager) to match the talent of your 82nd's and cruzaderazn's 101st cuase the american skins are starting to look beter then the germans :p

man....I remember some 101st airborne skins from dod beta 2.0 / 2.1 and they were looking rugidy and bad ass with mud on their faces i think if you add mud and also if cruzaderzan added mud they would be a 10 in my book :D

Awesome stuff dude. Totally kick ass.

Now some one do the 17th Airborne from Operation Varsity and the 3 Main Airborne Divisions have been done.

OMG, thank you so much, im am DLing right know.

very very very very nice!:D

I don't like how all of the classes have the same face. But other than that awesome.

Very NICE


When you take a good base, you make good reskins, is logical xD

There is mud on my skins. Not an unrealistic amout though.

QFT Cruz, I only added mud on the face & hands,
I didnt mess with the uniform because Cruz had
like a perfect amount of mud/grime on the uniform...
it saved me some work too :D

I'm about to release a version with face paint, face paint was issued to most of the soldiers on D-Day, and alot of paratroopers wore facepaint before and after there jumps. It makes the skin more authentic, plus it looks better imo x D

Hey im working on a 82nd Airborne skin to.

the only soldiers who had indian style face paint was The Filthy Thirteen, the rest just had darkened faces.

NEW VERSION AVALIABLE!!!

Go to the bottom of the first post for screenys & the download link :carrot:

love it, can you give me tips on skinning and what I need?

Newer version looks good, but to me a little weird in game. IDK why the dark faces make it seem so different. You should have different faces too.

it looks very nice
the texture looks awesome

one thing is that I think the backpacks that WWII paratroopers use are different from the infantry's
they place their shovel at a different place too

lol oh well i guess this is only a reskin so..
good work :D

i guess what i am talking about is not mud. but has anyone seen bob (band of brothers), the beginning where the allies have the mud crap on thier faces i remember an old 101st airborne skin set having that kind of mud on thier faces it looked cool. It looked like a dark charcoal smeared across their faces.

if anybody could use a black face paint instead of the white one and smear that all around their faces that would look cool.

Just thought of something......

If I have enough approvals I'll give it a shot.

Should I make this a pack with face paint on some
of the faces and then have some other classes not
have facepaint??? It would be the same face for
every class but just some of them would have the facepaint.

What do ya guys think??? :confused:

I say make a 101st version to, with a 506th helmet decal and blackened faces. I'm gonna use the 101st guys for a comic on gmod. Or how about a mixed group of 82nd and 101st. Cause I need a 101st guys and prob one 82nd guy.

looks good i like them, might try them but im stuck on the early war pack by wile and rascle <3
