congo Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 While Zip does his thing I took some ingame action shots of the Brad. These are all from the 73 Easting scenario which was a dynamite venue for CZ Studios work. IMHO Brad looks great through the TC,s Binos, just my opinion. After Zip passes his work back to me I'll do one last edit and hopefully it will be in the dl section by Sunday, Keep your fingers crossed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipuli Posted August 9, 2006 Author Share Posted August 9, 2006 OK, partner, your turn! Just posted to ya! 2 versions, with markings from pics provided by BRG + skull in TOW launcher and one with only the "this side off"-textsZip 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRGillespie Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 New ass and little this and that to the cover grills... BRGillespie, what are those red bags in the left hull? It's a pity the rear has that side piece mirrored, so I couldn't place that "thing" on the left side... Zip You can actually go ahead and slap it on, Zip; that's an IR panel (helps for identification through the TIS), and there's supposed to be two of them on both sides, but one fell off (chintzy-ass Velcro holds the panels on). As for the skull marker on the TOW launcher... keep it if YOU like it, but there's definitely no identifying markings like that on our Brads. The little red bags are just the orange plastic sticky baggies that the shipping/packing lists are in. Just haven't ripped them off. ;P 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congo The reactive armor blocks weigh... I dunno, 40 lbs or so (feels that way, anyway). There's 14 or so blocks per side, so around 28 side panel blocks multiplied by 40 = some sort of weight. That doesn't include the front panels on the engine cover, which each weight 10 lbs or so (20 of those? I think).Tools: beyond the standard BII (which I've seen on the in-game skins: axe, tanker bar, and shovel) we also have assorted shit, like a stretcher, wooden chock blocks, 5 gallon cans of lubricant, extra cases of 7.62mm, a heavy-duty tarp, water, cases of MREs, etc, etc. As for non-skid, if you threw it on the engine cover hatch (check out the nonskid.jpg file), onto the troop hatch that opens when the TOWs are reloaded, and onto the driver's hatch, it'd be sufficient. There's no non-skid anywhere on the turret, if I remember correctly (never thought about it before). Looking ace, guys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipuli Posted August 9, 2006 Author Share Posted August 9, 2006 Thanks for the info BRG, it really has been great help when trying to make it more "life-like" and realistic!!I just updated the skin a bit and sent it to Congo for finalization. I removed the shipping lists and added non-skid to engine cover (hatch had it already) and added the IR panel to the rear hull. Let's see what Congo has in mind before the release.

Zipuli Posted August 10, 2006 Author Share Posted August 10, 2006 Thanks! Wicked, really nice shots there! Now that I have desert skins, I think I'll try to learn some desert tactics too - I suck real bad when forced out of the heavily wooded terrain I'm so familiar with Zip 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

congo Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 DW, I'd love to have one like that at my maintenance depot will it ever be used in the sim.?Congo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
congo Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Just posted the updated TIS view for CZ Studios Desert Bradley. I'm not sure where the sim draws the track file from so you will need to play with this in order for our updated track file to work in TIS view. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpius Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I like the broken handle/step on the skirt, nice touch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
congo Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Yea Scorp, Only problem was skirt was a mirrored item so one version doesn't have it. Between Zip and me we usually manage to get her done. It's great working as a team you know two different approaches to every project. Sometime when we are working on a skin at the same time aspects are duplicated but we both agree thats a good thing. It stimulates artistic endeavor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dejawolf Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 in-game? no way. it both eats memory, and crashes the framerates. even in 3ds max it is causing slowdowns.this is mostly just a postertank, and for detail reference for a future in-game model. (SB2 probably)nice skins btw. hehe. guess i should stop doing my desert skin in that pale pink desert yellow. seems like its the colour that appears in the shade.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
