The reasons not released,

Well, old issues beat to death in the past. No reason to raise them again,

If the communty is in agreement with the way I have released items since that time, (i.e. tan, green, blue, or red army/navy. Then yes, I am more than happy to post them under color flags, you can add your own desired flag later easy enough. I have recieved no more nasty gram emails since doing this.

OH yes,, the flag on the S-boat is also fully animated for speed, looks great while zooming about,, but at dock,, sort of too much salt air made it stiff,, yea,, thats it,, salt air and water, hehehehehehe

Dredmann,, You have been a great help to me in Beta testing these,, Thank you so much, Did you know it also played Flight of the Valkiri?? Try the bell and horn, hehhehehhh
 
These are marvellous models whecsailor & I do hope that you release them. I cannot imagine anyone being stupid enough to object. As you can see from previous messages-I would very much like to be able to use them & I'm sure that there will be many members who, like me, aren't clever enough to make models like this, but will be delighted to be able to use them.
Thank you for making all of this public Dreddman (& for the lesson in manners!!):D

Always get people who nitpick, I'd be using some words not allowed on these forums to tell them where to go.

Anyhow, models such as these are too good not to release Whecsailor. They will be a great addition to any layout that uses nautical scenery.

Hmmm Der Alte must feel pretty safe to go surfaced without four lookouts and a WO on the bridge. ;) Sub seen, sub sighted, sub sunk!!

Nitpicking a little: A REKO 52 is a DDR design. You might want to look up some of Killerkrabbe's little diesel tractors for pier work. To make it perfect a couple of V36 diesels and some French or Belgian steamers.
The 78 is not so far off the mark, since France claimed quite a few of those as compensation following WWI, but that would be for passenger service.
I believe there is a BR 58 on DLS somewhere, which would blend in just fine as well.

All that aside, just another great example of the versatility of this game.

I have an affection for those little Koefs :D, and tsk..tsk VMD have an ecxllent Koef available which I would recommend. ;)
 
Hmm.. Wonder how you got hold of that BR 52? :confused: Those fit very well into the scene, especially if they are the Kriegslok variety. ;)
 
re; destroyer up my ...

I have a Green 4 piper 1930's/40's nearly made, just got lazy on it and never finished her.

I also have a model made of a flower Corvette, and I think I still have a WWII Z class Tan

I have a few other Surface WWII models made,, including a semi low poly Tripitz, looking for a home and skinner.

maybe we can form a group to bring the sea to life. I have lots of ships, subs, and know how to make a basic locomotive of them.

Need the know-how on scripting to loadunload cargos, and make cargo specific piers.

I am learning how to make "night windows" for these.
 
What you think about t34 in Bulgarian winter painting?
Ps
I found my old project of Red Army armored train - KUZMA MININ ? - and Red Army tank battalion on train (WWII)

A word from the expert ;)
Any surface unit in the later years of WWII would have a strong emphasis on AntiAir Warfare - hence the number of lookouts in the sub's conning tower when surfaced. The same applies for the S and E boats when operating in daylight.
Looking at a the German Z class destroyers from the late years you will see a substantial increase in the amount of FLAK.
As for a sub leaving the safe haven of a bunker the normal procedure would be having an escort of one or two armed trawlers providing extra AAW punch until reaching a safe diving depth. Alternatively the CO could opt for a sneak exit in the dark or in adverse weather conditions.
Realisticly this had a 50/50 chance of success given the number of resistance assets near any harbour area. It was not a question of avoiding the news reaching the allies, but more a question of delaying it.

Nothing beats the smell of napalm in the morning... well the sound and sight of a seven bomb depth charge diagram is a qualified contender ;)

Now what is the pink navy anyway?
