1-Let me introduce this mod (Hereticus wrote):
-----------------------------
DaiShi and me already worked togheter and we still have a friendly relationship !
One day he tell me that he want a Mid Western Power Armor..
So i proposed to use the little period i had with less work to make one !
I'm a professional game modeler and i'm usualy working on cellphones , psp , iphones games.
So i made the 3D model , DaiShi made the UV and texturing ( with some advice i was happy to tell him ).
We also needed someone realy good in rigging to have the most professionnal work as possible.
I contacted AnOnetwo :). He Made a fantastic T-57c power armor professional like , well rigged.
I didn't follow with HUGE PRECISION the old obsidian ( 14 degrees east in case of Fallout Tactics Power Armor ) model.
Why ?
-Because this model was made several years ago , with old technique.
-The final render model didn't realy fit the "badass spirit" from the armor seen in the artworks.
-In render the model had little paudrons and in game they were huge !
-It can not be well integrated in fallout new vegas with the old shape. (If you look closer the Remnants armor , it's not the same as fallout 2 , Switching a concept 2D to 3D need some modifications to concerve the concept spirit.)
So i look after documentation and made working my artist spirit. What if obsidian should make the MidWest Power Armor in an actual game ?
I looked the references and documentation they used and tryed to do a good mix between renders/encient-art-work/artistical-taste-of-a-professional.
I also made the face more "Daemon" like. (To Look even more badass).
If someone don't like the look i have on this armor , he is free to choose another release :). Everbybody can have a different look on this armor ^^.

3-Where can i find this armor ?

Theres an advanced version in Citadel Labs on a workbench, and a normal one in Elder Lyons' room.

([XX] is mod index number in fomm)
Power Armor MidWest[XX]000ADF

Power Armor MIdWest Adv[XX]000AE5
Power Armor MidWest Adv Helmet[XX]000AE9

4-Different shape for the armor ?
---------------------------------
If you want a bigger pauldrons model or a TANK model, Optionnals models are downloadables.
( i personnaly prefer the big pauldrons model :p , DaiShi the default one and AnOneTwo the Tank , so you see , everyone is happy :) ).
There are full grey textures for the advanced version (also optional)

Have Fun!
