DOD: Source - Sturmann Joseh - very hi-res axis camo model

This is a High resolution replacement skin for the axis soldier in Day of Defeat: Source. It is TWICE the size of the default skins so make sure your computer can handle it. It has been running smoothly on an ATI 9700 pro that is 3 years old so any modern video cards should have no problems.

I made this skin to depict as accurately as possible a mid war Waffen-SS camoflague uniform. In reality Field Gray or Gray-Green uniforms were far more common in both the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS. Late in the war (1944) camoflague accessories, like helmet covers, became almost non-existant due to material shortages and crippled production. The camo pattern is a "44 dot" style. I say style because there was no hardcore standard and patterns, as well as materials, tended to vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Quite often in WW2 photos you can see oldiers all from the same unit standing together wearing different uniforms!

2 skins - full "44 dot" camo on HBT top, bottom and helmet cover. This is is MUCH improved on the last version's 44 dot camo pattern. While technically both are actual patterns used by WW2 Germany, This version is really the look I was trying to achieve last time. After many requests last time around I decided to do a version with only a camo tunic (top). At last minute thought it would be a great idea to add "chicken wire" netting to the helmet. I will never do that again unless money is involved. Major pain in the butt. But damn it came out looking good. Helmet is smearing with broken plaster, I.A.W. German Army procedures for field-expedient camo in an urban enviroment.
