Well thank you Gooseman! They are for you guys.

As far as the fume extractor goes. I don't like to add a pixel to each side because that makes too big. That would put them at 24" diameter and that is WAY out of scale. There is where we get into the limitations of pixel by pixel creation. If I could add a 1/4 pixel I would, but I would rather be a bit too small than way to big.

Yeah, winter can be a bit tricky if your not careful. I am not much for the all white "UN" look of the winter schemes. But what can you do, this is a tiny tiny scale and very limited palette. But I was tinkering around with the "weathered" look. I also have a "worn" look but I didn't put that in the set. It looks like the paint is showing through the white.

I looked into your Autumn Camo before and I have only seem it in Steel Beasts. I haven't actually seen any real references to that scheme. That is why I didn't do that scheme.

As far as doing other icons sets. I have a pretty long list of stuff I would like to redo and have redone. You may have seen some of the stuff I have done on the Yahoo forum? I redid the M-113s, M-26s, M-46s, some M-47s, T-54/55s (this set is HUGE), and many others in the "Skunk Works" and many others waiting. LOL.. So you could say I will consider doing others.

That a offical request for a Bradley set? LOL

Yea, I have seen and used your other sets. Great works. You inspired me to try some myself. I think that it brings a special feel to the game.

I did see the Autumn scheme on a Scale Model from a certain unit but, I will have to take the time to locate it again.

Oh yea, that was an unofficial offical request... ;}

I am still working on some new Bradley designs. I am added equipment baskets to the sides. I added ERA blocks to the turret but they were not perfect so I am trying to adjust them.

But, thanks again. This makes the experience better.

Thanks again Gooseman. You're right about have a special feel to playing a game and seeing your efforts in it. What I enjoy most is knowing I make a contribution to the SP community. If the equipment is accurate it contributes to the "education" of the people that may not be as familiar with the equipment as myself and others. That is what gets me.....

You find some real references of that camo and I'll hook you up.

LOL....I like that...

You'll have to let me check them out and maybe I can give you some pointers or ideas that may help you see your vision a bit clearer.

More than welcome Gooseman, more than welcome.

Yeah Joe we do have differing ideas on what's "realistic" and what's "cartoony".
