Captain America Mod

[John Jr.]

While I'm still facing a lot of problems with my pc, my Cap Mod is finally getting somewhere. I already finished the 4 Missions of the first story arc, so I wanted to post some screen shots:






The first story arc is loosely based in cap's 65th anniversary special and features Cap, Bucky and Sgt Fury fighting alongside anti-nazi german resistance fighters against the Red Skull and his minions. I tried to follow Ed Brubaker's lead and mixed some realistic threats (nazi soldiers, tanks, etc) with some larger than life opposition (robots, armors, super villains like Master Man). Looks like Cap and Bucky will have their hands full.
The other story arcs will feature post-war missions with different opponents and different versions of Captain America, but all the missions will be linked in a larger story.

Looking good John. The 65th anniversary special wasn't that the one where they fight that giant robot? That was pretty good.

Thanks, Pod.
Yup, it's exactly that story (but I didn't used the giant robot, only a lot of smaller ones. Budget limitations, you know... )
For the guys who didn't read the special, I recommend it, it's a pretty good read.

This looks awesome.

Very cool stuff, JJ.

Will we be getting a sneak peak at  the Invaders in the mod?

[John Jr.]

Thanks guys. I'm glad you liked it.
LP,
No, the Invaders won't show up, but I have plans for the post War All-Winners Squad.

That tooks like an interesting/fun mod. I also appreciate the talking heads

I'm a fan of your mods JJ, so this sounds really good. (I'm a Cap fan too, so even better)

Thanks, Panoramac. I'm a big fan of Tommyboy's talking heads too. We are very lucky to have talented people like Tommy and Bearded making talking heads for our mods.

I'm a Cap fan since I discovered super-heroes, so you can bet I'll do my best to make him justice, CB. Thanks for the kind words.

After a lot of RL problems and some bugs, I finally could finish Mission 5.
Captain America (Jeff Mace) and Golden Girl in 1948, facing some very well equipped thugs.

Blasphemy!   

Hope things are working out better for you in RL John. Can't wait to see the finished mod.

Oh. My. Gosh. Apologize or get out of existence right now!

John, my friend, it's nice to see you're still at it. I'm sorry you're having RL problems and I hope those are cleared up as smoothly and as quickly as possible. Wishing you luck, sir.

You can get some info about Jeff here:

And Golden Girl here:

Or you can read "Captain America: Patriot", it's a very good mini series, with great story and art.

CB and Prev,
Thanks for the good wishes, guys. Things will settle down, sooner or later (I hope). Meanwhile the mod is coming, very slowly, but I really want to finish it.

You are a modding machine, JJ!

Hey!  It looks like this is really coming together JJ!  I'm getting behind.  I've got to find time to play through the rest of your latest awesome mod before this new one comes out.  I see that you're putting your excellent Bucky skope and skin to good use there.  This idea of multiple Caps interests me.  I'm not really familiar with most of the others to bear the shield.

Spoiler

I bet you'll finish this before I finish that one project of mine.

[John Jr.]

Thanks, Dana and Benton.
I like a lot the concept of different Captain Americas, with different personalities and M.O.s too, Benton. Ed Brubaker used the differences between Steve and Bucky as a base for several good subplots in the regular "Captain America" comic and Karl Kesel is exploring Jeff Mace's tenures as Cap in the "CA: Patriot" mini, so I had a good deal of reference for my main characters. Golden Girl is the only one giving me trouble, since I read only one of her Golden Age appearances.

Hey John, especially looking forward to this Mod. There was a great Cap Annual in the early 80s that had various Caps taken out of time and interacting/ clashing.

Thanks, it's great to know there's someone who like my work. In fact, your post motivated me so much I'm almost done with the All-Winner's mission.
I read the annual, I don't liked some characterizations (specially Jeff Mace's), but the story is good and was very interesting see all that Caps together.

[John Jr.]

I'm moving slower than a turtle, but...
Mission 6 is done.
The All-Winners Squad in action:

[spydermann93]

Keep up the fantastic work JJ!

[laughing paradox]

Looking very cool, JJr. I love the All-Winners Squad (as well as DC's All-Star Squadron) so I can't wait to try this out.

[John Jr.]

I'm making the final adjustments to Mission 7, with The Falcon, The Black Widow  and James "Bucky" Barnes as the new Captain America.

[BentonGrey]

Man, JJ, you're really pulling out all the stops!

[martialstorm]

Looking great John Jr. 

[cmdrkoenig67]

That's looking pretty cool, JJ.

[John Jr.]

Thanks a lot, guys. Your feedback alway give me some (very needed) extra energy to finish the mod.

[John Jr.]

It's done and released.
We wanted to get it done at time for Christmas, so I had to work some extra hours, and Prev. was kind enough to get it in FRP2 in the same day.

Good old thank you list:
-The Phantom Bunburyist. His amazing theme song for the Mod was quite an inspiration when I needed some extra energy to work on this.
-Daglob. For helping me with tips, suggestions and, of course, for offering his amazing skopes and skins.
-Courtnall 6. For leting me use his weapons textures for my Bucky and Fury skins.
-Cyberburn. For letting me use his cousin's FLASH22798 creations.
-Prev. and my FRP2 pals, for hosting my humble mod.

A special "thank you" for Prev for suggesting the title of the mod.

I hope you like it, feed back is welcomed, as always.

[laughing paradox]

Cool stuff, JJr!

Looking forward to trying it out.

[Epimethee]

Great! Just in time for the holidays break.
