The best looking T-51b for FO3 I could think of.

Look, Ma! Two Heads!
Ok just to warn you.

I'm not talking about the 100% FO1 and 2 type look when I say "The best looking T-51b for FO3 I could think of".

I'm talking about the Van Buren version.

You probably already seen the models but I'm gonna add those just in case:

It looked really good, very advanced, personally I even think it looked better then the ones shown in the FO1 intro.

But the worst armor I've seen was in FO3 which looked like a terrible, somewhat rusted plate mail while it should be looking like a high-tech armor that uses hydraulics to boost the users strength, made of stainless/stain-proof, resilient steel and composites that would keep such an armor in a very good condition, good enough to make it run many years after the war. Instead I've seen (something like) this:

And the crappy earlier models (yes that one is winterized, wvery time I look at the standard T-15b in FO3 I wanna vomit) which weren't as bad but not good either.

So I've done some searching for the perfect T-51b.

Something not too rusty, advanced and good looking.

Something that would fit the T-51b looks of Van Buren, but also the other Fallout games.

And I found this!!!!!!

Just imagine it after a re-texture! Then add the T-51b Helmet and some texture parts from Van Burem (the one that looks somewhat like rubber). It would look perfect! Well at least from my point of view. What do you guys think?

Because I feel like re-texturning it if FO3 runs on my PC.
 
I made a prototype so far. It works ok, yet it's not as perfect as I thought it would be.

What do you guys think?

Better? Worse?

(remember it's just a prototype)
 
looking good, keep it up

i suggest reducing shoulder pads and increasing the butt somehow, since that's kind of iconic in the Tb-51
 
To be honest I like it although I would like to see less bulky or different styles. It would be cool if the game let you mod out your own armor like buy paint/dye for it etc or even put designs on it. Or even a partial power armor that is kind of like the gladiator armor or the centurion armor look just maybe with some mechanized attachments. Like maybe a blade nothing fancy looking but something that looks mean and simple and can perhaps use it in melee ... would be pretty sick!
 
For me, the armor looks fine (Though if I ever find a way to make it increase scale, it'd be waaay better) It's the helmet that gets me, it's just too damn wide. The classic T-51b helmet was slim and lloked alot better, if someone could fix that, we'd be on the road to making it better.

Yip - the helmet is a remaining issue. I always thought the shoulders are too small (compared with FO 1+2), but it´s also the helmet. If those proportions are fixed, it should look a lot bulkier. (which is a PA should :lol: )

@Ravager

The new torso is awesome - I really like it :) But I also liked the "original" T51b legs more as they have an unruffled look (which is closer to the original PAs IMO).

Anyway - keep up the good work :)
