Thank you very much! A very beautiful picture.
Erm... you're welcome!

...but if were referring to the Florence pic then you have to thank bestmajor instead, not me ;)

for you sepias:




according to the pic title (which i always copy) its made in 1927 (September) by Hans Hildenbrand (whoever this was). - yeah and i decided to visit italy within the next 3 years at least. a shame i was only in Bozen (which is basically austria :D)

btw, Titan: the list of models in the first page: is this still the stuff you need? - i'm asking because i played a game with SKIF (i have to admit :) ). now i cant see these icons anymore and would like to change again to your stuff - so if there are needed drawings etc let me know. - even if its only a small "correction".
well and if you spot an image in my package which you could use let me know, i should still have most source images.

Ha ha! Thanks, great pic indeed. As a matter of fact, though, I've been doing these ill_provs which can be seen in the last pages on request (not adding them to the official TP), so I'll make one based on this pic as well if asked to.

Yes, thank you very much for the offer - the items listed are still all valid, i.e. I'm still (more or less) looking for them.

"More or less" because I realize they aren't so easy to find at all. This might not be true for the ground units but is for the remaining aircraft (which is what I'm mostly after, as I have a special dedication for them). By the way, since you've been able to already make impossible findings (e.g. the Kugisho Tenga), if you're up for that you could try to scout around for the two remaining German planes I'd like to improve, i.e. the Heinkel He 274 and a peculiar version of the Bf 109K as described in post #2. The latter is a pet peeve of mine, as I've once seen that camo and had fallen in love with it - the only problem being that I've never been able to find a good enough drawing for it from which make the icon. Do it only if you have some time to spend and don't worry if that's not the case.

Thanks a lot also for the bid about your material. I was thinking about making a couple of new background/sidebars for the countries which still don't have them (currently UK, USA and USSR) - I'm sure you have plenty of them :) (although such bigger pictures might more likely be in your hdd rather than in the huge material you've actually published thus far).
 
well, i still have all source images of the ills i made, or at least most of them - i think. in bigger size http://s7.directupload.net/images/131216/wb2yzrvy.jpg

for the USA and bigger images this website is good: http://historylink101.com/ww2_color/index.html (assuming you need colour images for the skins)

for SOV there is not much in original colour, but Za Rodinu is a good colourizer http://www.flickr.com/photos/36919288@N08/with/4410477712/ or http://englishrussia.com/2009/01/28/soviet-soldiers-at-world-war-2-in-color/
otherwise there is the red army victory parade https://www.google.de/search?q=red+...jcsgbVzYCIDA&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1600&bih=748
here is a good one of Zhukov (taken after 1st of June 1945, since he wears his third Hero of the Soviet Union)

Stalin (seems to be the same occasion)




for the UK you can search in the Imperial War Museum http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/search?query=world+war+2&submit=&items_per_page=10 (you can specify your search on the left: time frame, colour yes/no, etc)

sorry no luck with the planes, AHF has a subforum for modelling and military art, it would be worth asking (this is how i "found" the kegushi - i posted it somewhere and received a PM over there).

Wow, very cool pic of a DB-3F/IL-4 long range bomber - I could well use it for a SOV background!

Great site!! Thank you, I didn't know it. Yes, I definitely prefer to have them in colour.

Another ton of interesting pics out there, thank you! I'll scan them to see if I find some which can give me the right inspiration.

Don't worry, I was aware it was a nigh impossible task - thanks anyway for taking the time to check.

On a second thought, however, I've realized I could make good use of a German Inf '43 model, as the current one - while not bad - displays a machine gunner just like the GER Inf models '41 & '45; so, I'd like to have it carrying e.g. a Kar 98, an MP 40 or whatever else just to "disrupt" the way too long MG series ;) .

The only problem is that I've already searched for it quite a bit but never managed to find a good one which was not a Waffen-SS one. While it surely would be difficult to spot that when converted to a 44x44 icon, I'd like the starting image to be a WH soldier...
 
assuming that you have already looted everything from Osprey, maybe try another company, like Revell? https://www.google.de/search?q=reve...w=1600&bih=705#q=revell+2.+weltkrieg&tbm=isch
i mean you are basically searching for models or toys, so you need to know all the firms which produce these things. otherwise i found a few (probably not that good):

http://www.anticsonline.co.uk/l.aspx?k=1651951
http://www.oldmodelkits.com/jpegs/Rev H2223 4 G Eng.JPG (that would be an example for Revell - worth following it?)


http://doc-0s-8g-3dwarehouse.google...1cd0dc199c79bd7f2?ts=1339813862000&ctyp=other (probably below your standards)

and re: colour: before i forget it (shameless self-advertising): http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=159097&start=255#p1775710
but the thread itself is definately a good one if you're searching for colour stuff. or http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/showthread.php?t=97822 (you need to be a member to get the pics - you'll spot some people well known to you ;) )

Good hints, thank you, although in fact I still have some Osprey to check properly. Its quality is normally superior to the other publishers', so I'll first try to find something along those lines... err, pages.

Now this is another good idea - by the way, well known people there, you say...? I wonder who might they ever be ;)

Download Links don't work tried both sites any other place?
Are you sure?

I know the GameFront one is down since a while, but I've tried with the Rapidshare one not so long ago and it worked (albeit slowly).
 
Titan79 - Yea :( it does not work for me. Once I get to the page on Rapidshare it just sits does nothing and then I try and refresh etc. and still nothing.
Hmmm, are you really doing it right...?

In the first screen, you have to click on the "to Download" button which is almost at the centre of the screen.

Then, in the newly opened screen, click on the big "Download" button in the bottom-left corner of the screen.

Does it work now? :)
 
Do you maybe have an AD-blocking software running?

If so, the download might not start automatically. Try letting it allow Rapidshare (even "temporarily" should do the trick) and see if that works.
 
Thank you again Titan79, the pack is beautiful great job!

(On a Different not) in 1.08 (AoD) Italy seems to be much better in the axis alliance, however still not a huge help in the axis (Playing as Germany) I always have to help Italy lol guess that would be historically correct.
 
yea I open it on a different browser (FF) and left it for 5 min and then when I returned it finally displayed the file download/save file portion and it has now been D/L woohoo lol

Glad it worked and to know you like it :) - thank you for the compliments!

As for Italy, having to help her as Germany is totally correct from a historical point of view... There was a joke among the German High Command which went more or less like so:

- "Italy has joined the war!"
- "Then we'll need 10 divisions to take care of that."
- "No, no - they did on our side!"
- "Ah, then we'll need 20 divisions."

:D

lol yea, well I'll be making some extra division to help Italy just hope they'll have enough to help in the fight vs Soviets.
 
Are there any files I can use that won't affect the checksum?
 
In fact, Mr_B0narpte, you can drop in your AoD folder all gfx and sounds you want.

As for .csv files, they're also ok with the exception of country.csv and province.csv (both in \db\ ), which are the only ones which will change your checksum if you copy them over.
 
Thankyou! I can now enjoy looking at the Tripartite Pack while playing AoD online :)
