Heya all, this is Jimmy (aka the world's worst skinner) here with an exciting idea! XD Everybody's heard of a little thing called Napalm's Expansion Pack ? Right? Well lets review the ideas behind Nappy's pack 'o fun:

-Quick download times for servers
-All extra files are in one place and convieniently downloadable
-Unlimited space for creativity in TT

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY(at least to my idea)
-Shockingly realistic terrain skins!

Anyone see what I'm getting at yet?

Well, lets review the art of skinning, then. So far, our tanks have been skinned in almost every possible form imaginable, right? Skinned as cars, army skins, theme skins, camo skins, hi visibility skins, uber kool Dr. Sawbones skins (lol), pretty much anything you'd like. But the problem is, in TT its Think Tanks not Think Cars . Our tanks have become a lot like cars.

Fact: No one to date has improved on the basic Light, Medium, Heavy, and UFO skins in the field of REALISM to tanks. If they have, I've never seen it and it probably should be a little more conspicuous (or maybe I'm just a dumba**)

Do you see what I'm getting at yet?

Thats right!

Compared to our terrains, our tanks are soooo last century in the field of graphics! :P I think that someone (preferrably an extremely expierienced skinner) should take our original tank skins and make them Ultra-Cool.

Definition of Ultra-Cool Realistic Tank Skins
-No silly colors or paints (these are cool on other tanks, but we're going for realism)
-Probably the original Olive Green tank and brownish-orange Treads are the right colors, with silver for the UFO (the UFO would probably be a simple matter of chroming it)
-Realistic brains would be cool too
After that, its probably just open for interpretation.

Ohh yeah, you have to sign this first
I; [Insert name here]; proud player of the game ThinkTanks and member of the Planet Think Tanks message board accept this challenge set forth by the player known as Saint Jimmy on June 1st, 2006, knowing full well that:
A- Saint Jimmy knows nothing of skinning at all
B- The skinset I will produce must be Uber-Cool/Awesome
C- The skinset I produce, if I show it on this message board, will be politely expected to be availible to anyone who plays or has ever played Think Tanks
D- If Jimmy has way so much time on his hands to type up this stuff, how come he didn't have time to play Think Tanks for two months?
Being my duty as an awesome skinner known as [Insert name here], I will now go forth and produce a skin beyond your wildest dreams!

....Thats about it, is anyone up for it? :)
