Sounds interesting, Don't forget about their other captured tanks, mainly the T-26 and T37/38, and some T-28's, Not sure if they ever used Tigers,

I was going to paint a Finnish swastika on the side when I noticed it was missing the Red Star.. this is the .dds sprite

Thanks! Do you think I'd be able to make a new vehicle instead of overwriting the current German vehicles? Like make a Finnish version of all the said tanks/spgs while still being able to play the normal russian and german vehicles? For instance, in SP 1.5, there is a captured T 34, Tiger, and Panzer IV (i think). Can I make a Finnish version of the captured tanks without overwriting the stock tanks?

NO ther Finns were never provided with the Tiger I nor the II for that matter.Neither did they get Panthers.... Only the Hungarians received a handful of Tigers
The Finns had Stugs and Panzer IIIs and IVs and as Kyth pointed out lots of early Soviet tanks as well as T34/76 and a few KVs & JS and T34/85 and some SUs as well...
BTW the Soviets never used the Tiger I in battle so having it as a trophy tank in SP 1.5 is inaccurate....
Thta would be great to have the early Sov tanks both as Finnish and German (Beute) tanks.
I guess to do what you wnat to do Whukid youd have to create new tech cfg files, add new lines to the common res and def files, a new go file, textures etc everything needed to have thme included in the ME as separate entities with their own skins.

I know you say you cant do computer modeling, I sincerely hope that you will give it a try with the Finnish modifications to the stug, like the rear storage, side logs, and extra front armor. As a lover of unusual armor, i will drool over this till it's done! (and I have a finish stug in my kit stash, this will give me all the more reason to build it!) if you feel gutsy, maybe you could tackle this, the BT-42, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BT-42

The farthest I'm going to be able to go at the moment is going to be Finnish camouflage for the named tanks, and hopefully a totally separate version of them so you can play a captured T 34 against a Russian T 34. Afterwards I'll give it another go, but no promises

T34/85 (captured) [/u][/b] after day one
good start, but the colors are far to strong and bright, and it could use the brown. But like I said, good start!

yea that was after about 6 hours. I cant seem to find the bottom half of the gun mantle, but other than that it's coming along nicely. I'll be sure to post a picture when I'm done editing a few more details

I got the T34-85 done! I might change the blue color alittle because it seems too obnoxious but overall, I think it looks good!

better, but I think you shouldn't call it done yet. Firstly, would you be able to have colors match up more, ie, the bit of brown and green where the right hull side and front plate meet. Secondly, I agree with you on the blue being to loud, and I think all the colors need a lot more fading and weathering. Could you direct me to where tank skins are located, I would like to have a go at editing them. Also, is the swastika distorted, or is it just the camera angle.

the .dds files are under the textures tab in the data folder. The swastika is just fine, the camera angle and the curvature of the turret make it distorted. i must warn you though, the files dont look like a tank. at all. its like a jigsaw puzzle from hell.

On the list of positives, I am glad that you didn't go overboard with the 'Paint-chipped' effect - a well-known fetish in the armour-modelling community. I hope you find the time to re-do the in-game skin for the Elefant, which is an atrocious example...

Is this alittle better in the "weathered" department? I lightened up the colors a ton. they're spot on with the image I was using

IMO the colours should be a combination of light gray, tan and green.
