WW2 Unit Graphics

@Fairline Not a request in any way, just a fun fact:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bison_concrete_armoured_lorry

I think this quote tells us all we need to know about this ridiculous idea: 'The Bison was the invention of Charles Bernard Mathews who was a director of Concrete Limited'. Mmmm, I don't suppose he was looking to make a fast buck at all was he?

These lorries are a good example of that Great British virtue in wartime : coming up with really sh1t ideas and seeing them through to the bitter end. For every radar and jet engine there are an equal number of propeller-driven armoured cars and ten foot tall rocket-propelled catherine-wheel bombs.

PS hide that concrete car from Techumseh - I really don't want to draw it

You can see the remains of one at the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Center.

Impressive isn't it?

 

[techumseh]

This is a cross section diagram that is interesting.

Too late. It does look rather squarish, so it can't be that hard, really. Must have been critical to the British war effort. Must have it.

In the words of AVGN: "What were they thinking?"

 

[Fairline]

OK, please let this be the last version I'm back at work next week so no more days free for unit drawing......

Right -prays this time its OK - here it is (drumroll):

 

[techumseh]

Sorry to be such a pain. I do very much appreciate all you do for me and for our community. That does look great. Thank you.

 

[Fairline]

No worries Brian, I was only messing

Are you sure you're happy with the damn Donald Duck tank? I can repaint it pink or give it lasers something

You do, of course, realize now that a pink one of those amphibious tanks with a laser cannon will almost certainly appear in a future random Broken Erika unit spread...

My creativity comes in bursts, even i don't know what i'll end up with. Right now my mouse is on the fritz, makes unit editing rather hard. Not to mention i sometimes end up with triple posts and one occasion i even made an octuple post......

 

[techumseh]

I did a bit of fiddling on my own, and this graphic seems to work best on the game map. I lightened the floats a bit more and added the rails back. I'm aiming for something that clearly looks like a tank that has floats on it, but which doesn't look too silly moving along an English road. This seems to fill the bill, so I'm good now. Really, thanks for everything.

 

[JPetroski]

How's the scenario coming, tech?

 

[techumseh]

Well, but I think I'll start a new thread, rather than hijack this one.

 

[techumseh]

Are you up for a couple more? I'm filling out the Graf Zeppelin's complement of aircraft. I've found an Me-109 and a Stuka you did with correct markings, but still need a Feiseler F-167 torpedo bomber. Also, I'm looking for an E-boat. They would be much appreciated.

 

[techumseh]

I found an E-boat in the Norwegian Campaign conversion, so the only one I'm still looking for is the Fi-167.

 

[Fairline]

Tech, I made an E-boat already (check the last posted Kriegsmarine units a page or two ago). I'm away from my comp until next week but I can have a go at the Fi-167 then. I'm assuming the request was directed at me btw

 

[techumseh]

Absolutely. Yes, I have the E-boat, and have a placeholder for the Fieseler, so no worries. Have a great Christmas!

 

[Fairline]

and you

 

[Fairline]

Here's the Fi-167A:

And belated Happy New Year!

 

[techumseh]

Happy New Year to you also. Thanks for the Fi-167. It's great! Any chance of adding a torpedo?
