New icon series: Russian AFVs

[Pierre]

Hello Plasma,

Always impressed by your work.

Talking about Russian AFVs, here is what I have on the bench.
1. BMP-1
2. BMP-2
3. BMP-2E (or D? not to sure)
4. PRP-3
5. BRM-1
6. ZSU-23-4M
7. T-80B with KMT-5
8. T-80U
9. T-80BV with KMT-6
10. T-80UD
11. T-80UK
12. Ka-50
13. Ka-52
By the way after making some T-80 versions, I'was working on the T-64 series. There seems to be some commonalities between the two especially the T-80U and T-64B engine deck but I'm not to sure about this. The T-80 chassis seems to be wider and longer tough.

LOL...this is kinda funny. How we have so many others working on this stuff. I'll post my T-64 set preview, that isn't even close to done yet, but all the basic models are covered.

What you have here Pierre is pretty darn good. Good Work.

Pierre,

These icons of yours are great. I particularly like the ZSU, it's a definitive improvement. Regarding the Kamov helicopters, have you noticed the ones I have uploaded a while ago, that Don has included in the v3.5 release?

Since we're working on the BMP....here's some pictures I dug up of various variants:

---------

Namica ATGM Vehicle


Sarath Mortar Carrier Vehicle

Plasma,

Thanks for your kind comments but take a look at Joe's T-64s. This guy fights in another league!
Attached is the ZSU-23-4 in a more usable form. Feel free to use it the way you want (I don't have your talent at making variants and camos).
Concerning your Kamovs It's amazing how starting from scratch we have such a similar end result. I think we have used the same 3 view drawing at a time.
And...for the BMPs I suspect that I've made them a bit to large. What do you think?

[oragus]

LOL...Pierre, don't sell yourself short. Your icons are very good, VERY GOOD! They caught my eye. I investigated them for some of the effects you got going for ya. . So chin up man. Keep it up.

[PlasmaKrab]

Right on, your icons are really good. The dimensions are good enough (give or take one pixel but no one notices that anyway). I was a bit put off at first sight by the way you handle your colors, but as Joe said, that's just another way of doing things that can shed a new light on everyone's work.

Mark, thanks for the material. The PRP-4MU and the ERA-clad BMP-3 are on my list, and the Kornet BMP-3 will earn a facelift!
The Indian variants (and those from other Asian countries) are less-top-priority than the Eastern Europe ones, but I'll get round to them eventually.
