9mm 0 Posted January 22, 2008 The project is turning into something really big, keep up the great work. Anyway, as Ebud previously pointed you work on the bonnie hat. Now it looks more like a fisherman’s hat rather that standard issue. Here's the shot from the Hearbreak Ridge, I know Highway was USMC, but bonnie's the same CWR got it pretty good I guess. I haven’t seen an the latest officer model but the previously shown had an USMC cap. Apart from these two, the rest of the content is just brilliant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NSX 8 Posted January 22, 2008 2maza94 Damn, when I look at soldiers, which this CWM did I just wanna laugh. It's 100% not correct or realistic. You should look at reaction from flash.ru - there're a lot of former soldiers. I even doubt their island "texture" has something in common with real chechenyan landscape. And current Vilas' units is one of the most realistic to date. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vilas 477 Posted January 22, 2008 9mm - you show picture from Hollywood movie, i see there Cllint Eastwood in Polish movies Polish police has ONYX rifle most funny is: Onyx was made in small serie and not accepted by Army and Police and only made some prototypes were given to movie industry so on movie screen you posted - sorry no reference to me like Jonh Wayne in movie about Viet-nam tigerstripe and black beret on one movie I saw few years ago or M134 in Predator movie or other movies like Rambo (man in black pants with combat-bow-grenadelauncher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topas 1 Posted January 22, 2008 another retexture? Â Stay cool, it wont, be 'another retxture' You need to have something to start with, right? I just posted a WIP texture, basing on which Vilas will make a coresponding model. I estimate it's about 60% done for now. Thx for the pics people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jahve 0 Posted January 22, 2008 Please just remove the OD molle pouches and ACOG... They didnt exist in the 1980s.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
9mm 0 Posted January 22, 2008 There you go. Quote[/b] ]i see there Cllint Eastwood It's not Clint Eestwood. It's Gunnery Sgt. Tom 'Gunny' Highway, US Marines. Anyway, I don't know about rest of gear, but the bonnie is pretty accurate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miles teg 1 Posted January 23, 2008 A few comments....the USMC Boonie hat is NOT the same as the US Army boonie cap (they have a broader brim on the USMC versions) although I can't be sure of that during the 1980's period in which perhaps they were similar. Also during the 80's I'm not sure if Green Berets (US Army Special Forces) used any type of special vests for carrying ammo. As far as I've seen from all the military publications I have from that period, they are using the standard load bearing equipment (LBE) as the rest of the US Army of that period (and up until the mid to late 90's when they were replaced with vests and/or body armor with built in MOLLE attachment points). So basically those Osprey book illustrations posted by T_bone are very accurate. However with that said, I could be wrong as I know some SF units (and Spec Ops units like Army Rangers) did experiment with a wide variety of gear and often gear would differ depending on the units and their theatre of operations. Delta Force units (and SF or Spec Ops units specifically trained for counter-terrorism and CQB) also tended to have very specialized equipment. So overall, if you use these vests for the Green Berets I would not cry about it and would say "THESE KICK ASS" like all of your work. They are not out of the question historically. But they would be perhaps something not widely used by most SF units. I also must BEG that all US Army soldiers wearing field caps MUST NOT USE USMC caps like BIS gave to the US Army officers in ArmA. That is like sacriledge in the US Army and USMC players have a good laugh about that. As a former US Army soldier, I have to insist that the field cap is very very important and although uniform regulations do not allow a "ranger roll", most soldiers insist on doing this as it looks sharper and less like a "Beatle Bailey" cap. Its basically where you roll the edges of the top part of the cap so that it has a lower profile. On the other hand, officers will often starch their caps so that they have sharper edges and a higher profile. Even then however they will NEVER look like a USMC cap which has a very unique pointy front part of the cap (above the brim) that is very different from US Army caps. The proper US Army caps can actually be seen in BIS OFP US Army officers. Anyways....I just wanted to reinforce the importance of proper caps. It may not seem like a big deal but in the US military, proper head gear is a VERY big deal. Also no black berets on regular soldiers as that was not added until like 2001 or 2002 as standard garrison headgear for the US Army. That is why US ArmyRangers switched to a tan beret as their beret was a black beret. In the 80's however regular infantry did not have ANY beret and just field caps, Class A uniform "cunt" caps, and of coarse the newly issued PASGT kevlar helmets in the mid 80's as early 80's soldiers used the old steel pots.

Clavicula_nox4817 0 Posted January 23, 2008 It's funny. T-bone's illustration shows a gulf war era 5th group officer...wearing the vietnam-era flash. When did they change from the vietnam flash to the current one? Actually, that particular drawing is all kinds of messed up. Jump boots in desert uniform? Wearing the green beret..but no tab? *edit* I didn't read caption, and see that's from Egypt, so nevermind on the flash. And thank you, Shinseki, for taking the beret, a tool for recognizing distinction amongst soldiers, and giving it to everyone...just cuz.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NSX 8 Posted January 23, 2008 Some more pics, showing Kenji's T80 with early generation ERA, which will be most probably incorporated into Project '85. Great work, Nakamura-san! Bigger version, one piece Bigger version, once piece Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roberthammer 582 Posted January 23, 2008 Very Nice !!! Â I hope to see this type of T-80 I don't like this camo like in this pic , but is the type is BV , production work in 1985 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

roberthammer 582 Posted January 24, 2008 Quote[/b] ]And now what do you think is shown on my pics? Really ? LOL , but i see some parts of your BV version are missing , that's why i didn't recognised your BV version Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadow NX 1 Posted January 24, 2008 Yeah its totally impossible to see that this is a BV... right... there are so many other T-80s that have era and other things alligned like that i guess. I have a feeling like you will now mention the parts that are optional and werent on all 85 models. But please mate enlighten us and just tell us whats wrong. Oh and btw, if anyone has details about the BVK version please PM me. Things like, where does the extra antenna goes, it has no missile guide system so does the extra radio systems go into the box on the turret... etc etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NSX 8 Posted January 24, 2008 I guess Robert Hammer name these frontal armored sheets as "some parts", but IMO that's hard to call "additional details". This is T80BK frontal blueprint, compare with my second pic - everything is like Kenji did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topas 1 Posted January 24, 2008 those frontal sheets can be easily added; Vilas made exactly the same ones for PT-91 Twardy tank long time ago, so it'll probably be ok if Kenji used them in this model right Vilas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
