What ever happened to Compans and Hammered, man i use to love their old beat up skins..remember these old classics.. Compans Compans Compans Compans Compans Compans Compans Compans Compans Compans Compans Compans Hammered Hammered Hammered Compans Compans Hammered Hammered When Compans did that old beat up Hurri there was nothing like his style of skinning at the time, his work always sort of reminded me of an old oil painting or a Trudgian artwork, wicked stuff. Also ..excuse my severa lack of AA and AF as i cannot seem to get it to take in game, but i will crank another thread about that so this one doesnt go ot with boring tech stuff. ..and raise a beer to the old skinners who have wandered on

Found the old posts where th eoriginal skins were released ..the Hurri was 2003 , but most were at the old il2 skins mega site that went down, sad days when that happened as we waited for it to come back but it never did. Compans Under the White Rose campaign here CAMPAIGN Do a search through m4t maybe ? (need to be registered) M4T I know Kamikuza had a 20 skin download pack yeeeeeeaaaaars ago with all of Compans skins but he has also disappeared of the il2 radar. There is also check six if you want to try a search there CHECK SIX After much searching i managed to find where Hammered hid his skins in 2005 after a forum request but the page is long since dead.Hammered used to be part of Blitzpigs which is also now folded but they had a link to the Pilots Pub so someone there may now where to contact him.. PILOTSPUB The Fly also has some impressive older skin work here THE FLYS SKINS

You can't forget my good German friend Snorri...because before myself, Hammerd, Compans, Cpt_Ferrel, etc there was his beautiful 512x512 skins. Snorri's B-17 template is what got me into skinning in the first place. I'm forever indebted to him for that!

Best.....thread......ever. Well done Ajay I've only got pics from days gone I would try to aknowledge the skinner. Wish I could remember now, here goes Skin by Greg Boyington vpmedia Kristorf One more. Skinner unknown It was the great skins that motivated me to spend way too much time composting pics of these fantastic aircraft Looking at the shots that I did years ago reminds me my composits are like my flying; a bit hamfisted lol
