Seeing how the old thread is dying and a page or two back, I'm posting my finished version picture in a new thread, Do you guys want anything changed? I still have to skin the torso for the other classes and It will be ready to release, Probably about a week away.

Looking good, but the breast pockets look a little thin to me.

They look great!

One thing that I would change though is the collar tabs. The right one is good, left one should show rank. (check my sig)

And thank you for having the cuff title in English. They were always officially know in the English name. Any references to the German are from very bad sources (poorly researced material released soon after the war.) Adrian Weale tries to set the record straight in Renegades: Hitler's Englishmen (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0712667644/qid=1054909065/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_3_2/202-6389368-3473466) the only thorough history of the unit. If they interest you I suggest reading it.

And thanks -GeineD-, now if we can just get someone to make a model for your skin that can have a plain right arm texture...........

*EDIT: BTW, feldgrau trousers..... much better!!

Thanks, But the problem is there is only one mesh for the arms and one mesh for the collar, so each side is just a mirror of the other.

ahhh didn't realize the collar was a mirror. Well within the confines of the model you have done a great job!

The one on the right drinks in my local!! lol

Ok, I ned someone who can mesh to take the default models and add seperate meshes for the right arm and right collar. Can anyone do this for me?

You can easily do it by yourself.
Open the british player models with HLMV, and export their faces.
Then open these axis player models with HLMV too, and import the british faces.
If you have problems check Danzas sticky.

Btw: Awesome models.

Kickin rad.

Anyone want to explain why there were Brits fighting for the Chermans? aka history of the unit.

Arsenal

They were 'converted' P.O.W.'s that were know to have Nazi or anti-bolsevik sympathies. There were very few who were actually commited to the 'experiment', and any reports of them actually fighting are, at least as a unit, untrue. There are reports of individuals taking part in the battle for Berlin, but this has never been proved.

There is a fairly good, short history on the unit at the BFC Reenactors society site HERE (http://members.aol.com/sturmpnzr/BFChistory.html).

Ok, Couldn't get any help on the mesh, so They will have patches/insignias on both sides.

Expect the release by the end of the week.

Thanks for the support/comments.

I'm not sure but I think they're British nationals fighting for the German army. Maybe they were captured then forced to fight for Germany? :)

There were a lot of people from Different countries that fought in the German army just like at the 5thSS Wiking.
