Hello guys, I'm workin on some rare Ardennes December 1944 pattern for Relic's War Paint Contest, and in need of some feedback.

Here is the references:

The colors seems to be:

1) Factory Base Coat - 8012 Dark Red Primer (or Rotbraun RAL 8012);
2) Disruptive Pattern 1 - RAL 7021 Schwarzgrau;
3) Disruptive Pattern 2 - RAL 7028 Dunkelgelb.

I couldnt find a lot of info on this, so it's seems what it's a sort of custom-modifed pattern. But the colors seems legit and I liked them a lot, so I decided to make it :-) After all, the skins suppose to be inspired by historical events, not necessary be copy of it.

So here is what I did so far:

Winter version:

Summer version:

Feel free to share your opinion or some constructive criticism :-)

These look good, and I think will look great on smaller vehicles. Keep up the good work.

Very cool, I hope we see more realistic skins like this added.

Less blood soaked skins and wierd bright stripes like Fox Company camo.

Thanks :-)

I'm using Company of heroes 2

Working with texture files directly, with the game running on the second monitor, so I can correct mistakes I made on previous version of the mod. And so on.

Thanks for the reply!

Aw, man. That would save me so much time if I had another monitor going.

So the preview images you posted are shopped together from screen shots you took in game and put onto gradient background, or are you using a 3D editing tool?
