Re: Kugelblitz and Company.
 

The lengths and widths between the two are already not so big. With the increases I think it will be very close. So I agree. I am sorry to say that you will have to just make do with what information you have and make an educated guess.

Re: Kugelblitz and Company.
 

Does anyone know if that 10.5cm version of the Panther is an open topped turret?

Re: Kugelblitz and Company.
 

10.5cm... No I don't think it was open topped.

Re: Kugelblitz and Company.
 

Ok, here is what I came up with for the Kugelblitz II. Now keep in mind, I tried to keep it practical and not redo the entire thing. I developed the Pz IVL. The refined front half of the hull and went from there. I based the Kugelblitz II on the Pz IVL. If you want the "mini-Panther Ausf F". That will be down the development tree....LOL. If you like it I will continue to work on other patterns for it, or even develop the "mini-Panther Ausf F" when I get the Panther Ausf F completed.

Re: Kugelblitz and Company.
 

Speaking of the Pz IVL. Here it is to check out as well.

Re: Kugelblitz and Company.
 

Nice work. When will they be ready?

Re: Kugelblitz and Company.
 

I developed the Pz IVm for the "mini-Panther Ausf F". So now we have in total.

Pz IVL
Kugelblitz IIa
Pz IVm
Kugelblitz IIb

Hope you like them. Additional paint schemes and post of all the files should be done by end of today or tomorrow. One of those. Hope you like them as much as I did tinkering around with the... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Kugelblitz and Company.
 

Ok, these are taking longer than expected, plus the fact I didn't as much time as I thought I was gonna have to get them done for you by tonight. But, I did get the Pz IVLs completely done. So here they are. I will get the rest of the Pz IV mods to you shortly.

Enjoy

Re: Kugelblitz and Company.
 

Completed to a high standard as always. I will definately find room for them in my Mod. I must say the attention to detail is fantastic. If it is no trouble could you pass me on your older marks of Panzer IV (side skirts only) as well. In Icon format though (Turret and Chasis seperate). Thanks.

Re: Kugelblitz and Company.
 

Well thank you Monty. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif. Glad you like them. Its appreciated. I am gonna post all my Pz IVs on the WWII forum when I get them all done. I don't see why while I am building the .zip file to build a late model .zip for you and your mod.

Oh and here is the Pz IVm. Kugelblitz IIs soon to follow.

What do you think of the late WWII camos? Do they fit into your mod or have you developed a new camo scheme for it?

Re: Kugelblitz and Company.
 

"I don't see why while I am building the .zip file to build a late model .zip for you and your mod."

Could you re-phrase this please, I don't understand.

The camo patterns are very nice. They fit in well with the existing ones. Only after the 60s does the Camo scheme change drastically.

Re: Kugelblitz and Company.
 

Sorry for the confusion. I don't see a problem with making a .zip file for the late model Pz IVs for your mod while I am building the .zip file for all of the Pz IVs.

Ah, ok thank you. I tried to model the later camo schemes. Glad they fit.

Re: Kugelblitz and Company.
 

And the last of them. Here are the Kugelblitz IIs for ya Monty.

I am not missing anything right? The Kugelblitz, Kugelblitz II, Pz IVL, PzIVm?

The Panthers will come out with the Panther set, in the works. Unfortunately got pushed back a few days. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif. But will get those down ASAP. I still haven't gotten the 10.5cm or Rocket ones developed yet either. I'll get them for ya. I also rememer you want the late model Pz IVs also.

Enjoy

Panther Variants
 

Ok Mark, Monty and others who have been curious about these Panther variants Mark posted on page 1 of this thread.

Here they all are to check out. Don't know if I should but camo patterns on them or leave as they are? How about you guys tell me what you think and I will go with what you guys think. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Panther Variants
 

Good work once more. I can't put them in the game yet though as I am waiting on the rest of those Pz IVs. As your icons are a different size in comparison with the existing Pz IVs. No problem. As you and Plasma said the in-game Pz IVs are too big anyway.

It did give me an idea though. I can use the bigger Pz IV turret on the new Panther F or II (have not decided which) chasis. Reasoning behind that is that the Pz IV turret would need to be made bigger in order to accomodate the newer and heavier gun.

Ideas? Or could you, Oragus, give me permission to mess around with one of your turrets when the Panthers are ready. I need the chasis to match things up (size issues etc). I can certainly put it on the back burner for now so no pressure. Good Luck!

Oh and by the way, I have a question, could someone make a few LBMS for me. My last attempts resulted in some ghastly colours. Its too complex for me. Icons I can do, OOBs too, but LBMs, no chance (accute computer iliteracy I'm afraid).

Re: Panther Variants
 

Well, I already have the idea that Germany had of dropping a Pz IVh & j turret onto a Panther D hull. I have some pics of it, from the pics, they didn't look modified at all to make them fit. Kinda goes back to what I was saying about the turret ring of a Panther was too small for an 8.8cm. lol

I don't mind if you mess with my turrets once released. That or you send me a sketch or something of what you want done and I can do it for you, before the release?

I am ok with LBMs, but not much for messing with them.

Re: Panther Variants
 

Got pics for lbms? If I got time I can handle them, I've already got a series running. You know where to send them.

Re: Panther Variants
 

Thankyou for the offer of help Plasma. What size roughly do LBMs have to be again?

Oh and for Oragus I have this question: Will the turrets you have provided for the PzIVs fit on the your new Panther icons?

Re: Panther Variants
 

Oh yeah, when I was researching those other variants, I stumbled onto the Pz IV turreted Panther. Right then and there I threw one on and it went right on just like the pics and drawings I found. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Panther Variants
 

Brilliant.
