Wolfs Shipyard Forum

For whatever reason I responded to an old post from Winter a little while ago, he was asking for battle damage and weathering on a Sleipnir Class.

"Hey guys, first post here.
I really adore the ship schematics created on the forum, and I seem to be pretty good at editing and hacking them together, but I've always wondered how one goes about and adds battle damage to schematics? I want to add heavy battle scarring onto this image, and I couldn't find anything in the tutorial section that could help me. If another artist could help me with this, it would be much appreciated.
- Winter"

In for a penny, in for a pound... It ended up being a texturing experiment for me.

Here is the finished ship, a little worse for wear.

I tracked down the description of the ship from its original designer and have credited the numerous folks that have tinkered with this ship over time.

Cool design and nice colorization on it

you do realize that her armored shell can be jettisoned if it becomes compromised due to damage

I don't recall that was the case based on Tan J's original write up on the ship.

hmm i may have misunderstood

IIRC, the original design, Skinfaxi, proved to be underarmored. Rather than start from scratch or scrap all the ships that had been built thus far, they added an armored carapace on top and bottom. In essence, it sort of had something like the old WW2 skirt armor that the late issue Panzer Mk. IVs had.
