It took me forever to find an overhead view of the G6. I sometimes just alter existing icons if they are close to what I need (Shhhh...don't tell anyone).
Don't repeat it, but I do the same... Except I tend to bicker it all down to scraping TINY bits so no one will see it
Ssssh, we're both scavengers pretending to be artists but who cares?

Yeah, I decided to keep the Hummer 'big' look. They're easier to work with.
Well I started doing Avenger at first on the old basis, but when I started with pickup variants from scaled-down drawings, I noticed something was wrong...

I prefer my LOSAT in the raised position, though it does look odd when moving.
You mean the EFOGM? If so, I can tell you that was tough work until I saw live firing picture from the Japanese Type-96 MPMS firing at a ~30° angle. There were pics from EFOGM with rocket pod in this position, so I decided it was much easier to render something correct than with the launcher raised
I'm still not quite satisfied with the triangle shadow, but well...
If you're really talking LOSAT, weell I didn't notice there WAS a raised position...

Also, I had to redo the tan icons because of the new palette for WinSPMBT.
Did you? Were you having trouble with your old ones? Though the standard .shp pack doesn't seem to have changed
Woops, I better have a check...

I may end up using your Hummers if I decide I like the realistic size. My eyes aren't what they used to be, though.
Seen me Wiesels? The tiny German paratroop support stuff.
I wonder why I bothered drawing the camo pixel by pixel and shading all the facettes, the body is 23 pxl long!
