Realistic/Dirty 5th Rangers

I mainly just hexed Wile E Coyote's 5th ranger skins with some other skins, I added a little dirt representing sand and such from the beach landing. I made the 5th Ranger daimond bright orange because that is the color they actually were. Im trying to make these skins as realistic as possible. Tell me what ya think!

Note: I know the Ranger daimond on the arm reflects, but it just makes the skins look more realistic. I don't think the Ranger written backwards on one arm is that horrible.

Yeah, that's what I want...a dirty version of the Early War Pack. I think Capt. Higgins was gonna do it, but never did.:(

not major modifcations, but every one you have made compliments the original skin well.

Good Work

So far I have all of the classes done except for the Machine Gunner. Once I get him done I might go ahead and release them to you! :D

Thank you for the comments btw, I really appreciate them, but just keep in mind this is all pretty much Wile E. Coyote. I just modified it, done some hackjobs to make the skin look like how I would want them to look, ya know? Just makes me happy to see that you all like it as well.

LOL mine were realistic too, they just hadn't gotten dirty yet :P:P:P:P

ahahah now that I'm done punking out the young man for using the word "realistic" (you all wouldn't believe it was me if I didn't) I had always intended for someone else to have a hand at making them look "gritty". As I stated when I released them I purposely didn't make them dirty SO other's could re-use the skins! And yes, I was under the impression Cpt Higgins was going to do a dirty version of the gefrieter josuf skin, but he never did and to be honest I haven't seen him posting for a long time, hope all is well.

Anyway looks like a good job, you should also think about releasing one of them as a "single" skin for those like me whose computer can't handle 12 different skins at once.

Yea, the reason I added realistic in there is because the only thing you messed up on were the 5th daimonds. I don't know if you can prove me wrong but from my "research" and such the 5th Daimonds were strictly bright orange.

plus if he planned it out right he saved the "dirtyness" as a separate layer in the PSD file and could use the 'ol "drag 'n drop" onto the Early War skins.

Uhhh, oops, lol

No Im actually not planning to do the early war skins, but that might change.

EDIT: Hey guys, it might be a little while before I release these. Im getting some tips on how the uniforms should look from a 5th Ranger re-enactor. So this skins should look as authentic as possible when Im done with them.

Ive decided that I will release two versions. One will have all M43 jackets. Pretty much what you see in those screenshots. Then my second version will be a mixture of M43 and M41 and maybie even a Tankers jacket. You can choose either of them but the second release is going to be the most realistic.

Kieffer, I'll use the Late War pack just to use this...but you gotta do the full set (axis, both sleeves... etc).



;) :p

Hey, everyone. Great work on the skins there, Kieffer.

I've been so terribly busy with life, and what with my gaming rig being down, I haven't even had a chance to play a game in months now. I'm doing A-OK though, and hopefully when life slows down I'll be able to swing back by the community and throw some more skins into the pile.

Thanks for your concern, Wile. :)
