Hello Readers!!!

  I've decided Im going to take a swing at making these WWII BATs. I forgot to mention above I'll be making WWII military buildings.  These buildings will have a familiar look if your a fan(like me) of a certain game. 

  Before I make vehicles, I'll be making the building first and see how people like them.  If fellow members like them, I'll continue to make them.

  I only hope I can do this....My BAT skills seem to still be a little rusty

  Pictures coming soon!!!


  Stay tuned

great idea.  we do need more millitary.  so now we have the future of millitary covered by me, and the past of millitary covered by you, now we just need someone to cover the present...

 

but please, in this project, please make a memorial park for the hiroshima/nagasaki attack, and of course, the holocaust.

[Sniper 9]

All right. Im back

First off, Thats a great idea NoSoupForYou. I'll make them. You can guarantee it

Alright. I promised pics on the BAT. So Im going to forfill part of the promise by showing some of the BAT I've been working on. (Note: These BAT have been in development for about a week)

1. A WWII Guard Tower

2. WWII Tank Factory

And there they are. Do they look familier?

Comments Please. Critisisim Welcome

Oh and before I sign off, Who ever can tell me what game these buildings are designed from, I'll send Him/Her a cookie.

I LOVE WWII!!!!

w00t, Battlefield! Man, I haven't played that in a while.
These kick ass!

Hello fellow simtropians

 

  Im back with a update on my WWII Tank Factory. Heres what it looks like so far.

 

So how does it look?

 

Comments, critisem, ideas all welcome

 

I love history

[ardecila 125]

Well, you need to get a better texture for the factory walls. Other than that, it looks great! Oh, and I'd recommend changing the shape of the tank ramp entrances. It looks oddly Roman, which doesn't go well with the industrial stuff. Oh, and the guard tower in-game on the Area 5.1 lot looks just like yours.

[nosoupforyou 9]

yes they do look familiar, they look like the buildings from red alert (accept in 3D)

[LBraden 14]

If you need any type of info about the German Army in WWII

I can help as that I make German units from Scratch out of wood, so I have the sizes of them.

Also I can help with Cammo colours and insigna/signs on the vehciles, if you need info about the Allies (NOT Russia), then I may be able to help

[Sniper 9]

Hi Readers

 

  I finally have the time to update my thread.  So heres the latest project

[image deleted - too big]

Its a BAT of one of the most feared tanks on the battlefield of WWII.  Its the dreaded(and really cool looking) TIGER I

 

So how does it look so far?  Comments pleese.  Critisem welcome

 

  Oh and to answer the question where the WWII buildings designed from, there designed from BattleField 1942. 

 

  Expect more updates from the other of my BATS soon(and when I mean soon, I mean in about a week)

 

  Honor your Heros!

[nosoupforyou 9]

looks good

[LBraden 14]

The overall tank looks flattened and the driving wheels are missing, and the back runner, also what specific Tiger version are you making, there were several ideas.

The tiger that is in your avatar is of the 19th Panzer Divison and I know that because of a book called Panzer Colours, I got the Divisonal Insigna out of it

 

http://www.achtungpanzer.com/tigerp.htm  The Porsche Tiger (the same person who made the VW Beetle ther original one and the famous Sports cars)

http://www.achtungpanzer.com/tiger.htm  The main type that is well known

http://cosmos.oninetspeed.pt/dak/dak/tiger02.htm

http://cosmos.oninetspeed.pt/dak/dakpics/tiger01.jpg

The early Tiger that was used remove the tiger02.jpg to get the site about the German Afirca Corps, the set that I mainly make

are 2 of the main types, also look at the site www.internethobbies.com and look at the models that are Tigers to get an idea of the sizes, some of the pictures can help if they are the model itself.

 

These should keep you going, I will get some digipics of a plastic model that I was given, as that I have not made a Tiger 1 model out of wood yet

 

Also the Achtung Panzer site is helpful and if you need any more just ask, I have a lot of information about the Germans, but I can get a lot of information about the Allies as well

That looks like the tank factory in Battlefield 1942!

[woodlm 3]

1st off, great idea! I've wanted to see WWII stuff for a while now, esp aircraft (can anyone do a spitfire or Bf109?)

If you search the threads, I saw a model of an Me262 that someone was going to add to their airport but did not. Although they got the name wrong, they called it an He202 or some such thing. I'll see If I can find it.

Cool! Im planing on doing aircraft after Im done with the BATs that im working on(look at my signature for my BATs).

I am, though, open to suggestions on what plane I should do first. So feel free to post Ideas.

[hackinosa 29]

That's a really nice tank!

[Sniper 9]

Greetings friends!

 

  Ok, heres a update on the Tiger one.  With thanks to Adm. Lee J.E. Bradon for his pictures,  I've been able to make alot changes to the tank.  The main items have been added to the tank.  And theres more detail to come. 

 

 

[image deleted - too big]

Well there it is.  Soooooo....... How is it?  More detail is going to be added on.  Then after thats all done, time to add the texture to it. 

 

   ****Sniper****

 

P.S.  SORRY FOR THE BIG PICTURE, I'LL UPDATE SOON!!!!!

[Pooty 228]

*stares with mouth open* That tank is awesome! Great job, sniper. Im lovin' your work!

[Jim 6]

Awsome man!They are simply awsome. I give it a ten. Just amazing.Keep it up!

[LBraden 14]

I still think the turret looks a little squashed, but when you colour it, it may change, also the muzzel flash reducer neededs changing a bit (the thing at the end of the barrel)

 

Apart from that, Nice

[LBraden 14]

Ok, I will try this again, however if it does not work, tell me so I can kick the server to the other side of the room

 

 

[Billy_bob55 8]

the upper factory and tower is the exact replica of Battlefield 1942 ' factory. I am Sure of that.

but an introduction of that in sc4 can be good

I agree, the muzzle brake needs a slight enlargement. But you have posted what looks like a Jagdpanther, not a Tiger I. Or perhaps you were posting an example of the camo scheme?

  Yea, he was showing me a camo scheme thats going to be made to fit the Tiger I(and other German WWII tanks).  And about that muzzle break,  I felt the same way.  You can rest asured that the barrel has been enlarged. 

     Sincerely

****Sniper**** 

[LBraden 14]

Ok, I will change the size, also this comes from the Bovington Tank Museam in Sothern England.

 

I will post more if you like

 

EDIT: Yes that is a JagdPanther, Self Propelled Gun, very nice and small, the sign at the front is 3 foot tall

1. A WWII Guard Tower

***Sniper****

Yes exact reps to bf1942 but the guard tower takes me back to Command & Conquer the original PC version. Boy how I spent hours playing that and Red Alert (Loved The Cruisers)

Hello Commrads

 

  I haven't updated this thread in awhile(sry).  I've been very busy.  But I've gotten a chance to update this thead.  Heres my latest project:  The M4 Sherman!

[image deleted - too big]

What you guys think?

 

Ten hut!

[StarGate88 0]

dont even get me started on C&C
a wonderful idea. It will bring grace to any european style region...or any city for that matter. SC4 lacked any military presence at all. I got yelled at by some ppl on a SC5 thread when i mentioned the lack of military should be resolved in SC5. It is, on the contrary to what others may think, a very realistic part of government and cities.
Good luck with ur WWII creations. If theres anything i can do, pm me. Ill try to find the measurements of certain military object (such as the tiger). Ill post any helpful links if u want.

ps - if u changed what they said about the tiger, then itll come out great and the sherman looks awesome! keep it up!

[LBraden 14]

well I make Models of WWII Tanks, that is why I am helping him, also I am in the Royal Navy (British please note)

 

I specialise in making models of the German Africa Corps (DAK) so I know about the correct shape of the Tigers

 

Also Stargate I am a CnC fan, but I prefer WWII games to it, that is why I make WWII modds for every CnC
