SdKfz 251 Icons v1.0a - Page 2

I haven't seen enough pictures to suggest any camo pattern. I would think that whatever you think the best matches to the relevant Panther Gs would be. The vehicles were designed to operate in concert, so I would think that would be appropriate.

Kinda what I was thinking too, but thought I would ask since you requested them.

So does this mean that my 252s will need minmizing as well? What other vehicles aren't to scale? Will these 251s work with the Tigers and so on or are they now too big as well? Incidentally, will you ever do a Tiger/Tiger II icon set?

Don't worry about the SdKfz 252s. Those are part of my SdKfz 250 set.

.

You would have to talk to Don about what other vehicles he opted to go big on. But if I had to guess, I would say, yes, they would probably work with current Tigers and what not. I know the Pz IIIs are a bit big, because those are mine and I did those before I knew of the 1 pixel = 6" scale. Those are actually how I got my personal scale. I liked them so much I didn't want to shrink them...LOL. Those are actually 1 pixel = 5.5". But, those are in the works to get redone in the proper scale too.

Oh yeah, I have already built both of the Tigers with variants in my scale. But again, to be released here I have to rescale them. I could give you a sneak peek if you like via pm? I won't put them on here, because I don't want people to break them done and use them in their game if they are too big.

I would love to see those Tigers. I won't pass them on or use them myself. As you said they are too big.

I have just about finished working on the SdKfz's now that you posted them. As I am rather low on single icon space I took the liberty of making the Mgs for some of your variants detachable.

The new scale has also inspired me to shrink some infantrymen. If you like I will send you a copy of my shrunken troops by PM. I've done the grey ones to start off with. They are based on my own variant of some icons done a while ago for SPWAW.

Ok,

Here is the offical release of the set with the SdKfz 251/20, the IR search light variant, included.

Enjoy

Monty,

Ok, will do.

Good idea. Those positions do rotate, but they don't rotate all around. That is what has stopped me from doing that idea myself.

Sure, I take a peak at your infantry.

251/20 looks just as awesome as the rest, but this was to be expected.

Thank you Thatguy. Glad you like them.

I did the SdKfz 251/20 in the same Pz.Rgt.24 11-44 scheme as the Panther G Uhu. I guess I should do the Marder II next with the Uhu equipment then, so that unit would be complete? lol

thatguy96 · #20 March 5th, 2008, 01:16 PM

Heh, well the Panther G Uhu is already in the stock OOB, so I think there's enough space to add in the 251/20 and Marder II Uhu and then add some "Nachtjager" formations. If you have the unit information I'd be happy to do that quickly.
