Just a quick update to one of my remodels: after playing around with the gun on Thunderbolt Ive decided to remove the light from the mantlet. I found myself not liking it more and more. The download has already been updated. That all for right now. Im currently planning a Centurion Action X remodel, so look forward to that sometime later this month.

It's 9.20 patch day, which means everything gets an update!
Ive given all of my skins a cursory check to make sure that they all work. So far they do, but if there are any issues, please let me know (either here in the comments or over on the NA forums, in my thread). This also means the two things I previewed a couple days ago have also been released. The Charioteer and the ISU-152 are both live on the site now. If there are issues again, let me know. Thats about it for now. Nothing huge to reveal... but theres stuff in the works. Tace care guys, and see you on the battlefield. ~ Avalon304 Hey guys! I told you there would be a 9.20 preview post coming sometime this weekend... and this is it. I have 2 things set for 9.20 release day. One skin, and one remodel. The first one is for those of you who love the troll cannon. Im saving the BL-10: Unfortunately I can not save the BL-10's penetration but atleast I can make the ISU look right again. Small victories, I guess.
So the site has seen a pretty big overhaul over the past day or so. Starting in the upper left with a new logo, kindly designed by FastestClassic. The logo depicts a Centurion Mk. 7/1, and takes some inspiration from the logo of 'The Tank Museum'. Fastest is a wonderful skinner and remodeler. You should check out his site: classicswotworkshop.weebly.com/ If you notice a lot of similarity between my site and his its not a coincidence. Ive taken quite a lot of inspiration from his page. I like the clean style. (Plus we both use the Weebly platform... so there's bound to be a lot of similarity anyway). Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?
The navigation menus now move as you scroll down the page, meaning you'll no longer need to use the 'Back to Top' feature to navigate around. That'll stick around though, just in case. Speaking of the navigation menus, the 'Permaskin Removals', 'Misc. Skins' and 'Remodels' pages are gone, having been replaced with dropdown menus. This has let me give each skin or remodel its own dedicated page, meaning you'll no longer have to scroll endlessly to find the skin you want (or use 'Ctrl+F'). It also lets me segment out skins for the same tank or that are for a group of tanks (like the leKPz M41 90mm or Berlin Quartet), or segment out skins based on nation. Beyond those major changes, the header for the home page displays 'Thunderbolt' and my social icons are still there (Twitter, Twitch and Youtube). The header on a skin page currently display a colour representative of the nation that that tank is for. I may change this to an image of the skin in action. (If anyone uses these skins and wants to help, cool screenshots without the UI are appreciated). In non site related news, I'll have another post up sometime this weekend detailing whats coming for patch 9.20. Theres a skin (that Ive already talked about) and a remodel (that I really havent). Also, Ive added a new addon to the Primo Victoria skin removal. Ive replaced the crew with standard Swedish crewmen, the Band of Brothers icon with the standard Brothers in Arms icon and the Sabaton voice with the standard Swedish voices. If there are issues with the voices, please let me know. I dont own the tank, so I cant check it. I think that covers everything. If not I'll include it in my next post. Take care guys, and see you on the battlefield. ~ Avalon So, I've not actually posted on the blog here in a while... since the Chrysler K came out actually. Ive been keeping the other pages updated so thats at least worth something right? Theres been an update to the Chrysler, by the way. Milkym4n made some custom tracks for it which he allowed me to redistribute along with my skin: If you haven't updated the skin since it came out, go ahead and redownload it to get those fancy ass tracks. :D Update 9.20 is around the corner and its bringing it with it a drastic change: The ISU-152 is losing its BL-10 gun. The legendary troll cannon is no more. But fear not... I am ahead of the problem, just take a look at this image from the 9.20 test server: The BL-10 shall never die. Expect this skin to come out the day 9.20 drops.
Theres also going to be another permaskin removal coming out soon after that aswell (probably). Wargaming has put a skinned version of the STG medium tank in the test client, called the STG Guard, so I'll do my best to have that skin out shortly after the tank releases, if I decide to buy the tank. (Skinning can be a bit more time consuming when the tank isn't readily available in the garage, and Im not made of money (unfortunately)). Im also dabbling with actual remodels again (in the vain of my T26E1-1 and IS-7 w/ raised machine gun) so there may be some of that in the future too, but further off than the other stuff above. |
