Those look so awesome.

[Binkowski 26]

lol, i've seen those helmets somewhere..

[lennard 447]

Yeah, they're jonny's.

[Laqueesha 474]

Please make Army units in DCU with Interceptor Body Armor and MOLLE gear, when you released this addon.

They'll be wearing the same uniforms and equipment for the most part. Just add a U.S.A. flag on the right shoulder and a unit SSI on the left.

Hopefully, 3ID. :D

[mcnools 62]

Great work!

[Mark1028 10]

It's looking fuckin awsome:cool:

[lennard 447]

Another wip update on the Recon Marines:

Made a FSBE vest for them.

Still WIP





Don't feel like spending many more hours on it, other than normal maps.

But like to hear some opinions on how to get better textures.:rolleyes:

First of all very Smezzy looking vest, I love anything woodland and that pattern is juuuust right :D To improve it..perhaps a bit of patching, something subtle but just enough to pop. When you look here for example. http://www.warjunkies.net/ploggerb3/images/gears___equipments/vests__body_armor__plate_carries__lbv___pouches/sapi1.jpg

Not sure what you mean, but you mean something like this I guess:

Something a bit more used?

Oh and thanks for the feedback:D

what he's saying is, in that picture it doesn't have all those molle columns on the back. it only has them up near the shoulders, and down lower, not covering the entire back. but none the less, it looks great.

Nahh, the pic he's showing is a IBA.

The vest I made is a FSBE like this

[nodunit 397]

No I think you got it, what I was getting at is more or less the fabric around the vest rather than what is on the vest itself, giving the appearing of soft and subtle patchwork. I don't know my vests much >.>

[Mark1028 10]

Are they the marines or army units?

Made a Marine with wool cap.

In the USMC/USN, they are referred to as Watch Caps as they are worn on watch. :p

Don't you mean DCUs? I also know the Corps was transitioning to the Digis in 03/04.

If I recall correctly, MARPAT MCCUUs were developed in 2001 and began being phased in in a small capacity in late-2001 to early 2002. It began being fielded in a wide capacity beginning in early-to-mid 2003 and by early-to-mid 2004, the entire USMC was wearing the MARPAT MCCUU. On the other hand, the U.S. Army developed its UCP ACU in 2004, began fielding them in a wide capacity in early 2006 and fully replaced the M81 woodland BDU/three-color DCU by late 2006. ;)

Post invasion 2003 the Marines wore BDU's.

Yup. After it was discovered shortly after the initial invasion that the WMD chemical/biological/radiological threat in the A.O. was basically non-existent, the USMC transitioned from M81 woodland MOPP suits to three-color DCUs, which they wore until the DCU/BDU was replaced by the MARPAT MCCUU, which wasn't long after the initial invasion.

ATM the wip is on hold, because I'm having weighing issues with the Recon Marines.

So need to figure out on how to fix that.. recon it's not going to be a fun and easy job.

[Mark1028 10]

any progress to report on these marines/army units?

I wish I could, but I still didn't get around weighing the Recon character models.

Tried it myself but it was messed up ingame :(

So at the moment I'm stuck.

It's as good as done I guess.

Got plenty of refs already.

But thanks anyway :)
