1)Description:

I was sick and tired of running around in an armor that reminds of an old rusted tin can especially that the T-51b never really rusted. In previous Fallout games characters like Rhombus or Cabbot where shown with their power armors on which looked really used and paint was peeling off reveling a shiny polished metal and you had the feeling they where kept in good working condition. When playing New Vegas each time I equipped my second most favorite armor in the Fallout series (the T-51b) I felt like vomiting! I thought to myself: "What use is a rusty old peace of trash? Is that how an advanced peace of pre war technology should look like? An armor made of poly-laminate composites and space age alloys capable of reflecting radiation? The latest, most advanced armor created in 2076 just before the world went up in flames in 2077? Bethesda must really hate the original games so I guess they had to butcher it.". To undo the damage I've started watching multiple Blender tutorials and practiced very basic texturing methods using GIMP and Photoshop CS6. When I learned all the things I had to I just applied the changes I wanted to make. The armor blends in to the game and you should notice that the model has been greatly improved. With this mod installed wearing a T-51b should now give you a feeling your wearing a really solid, advanced peace of pre war technology.

2)Important note:

I was making this armor while wearing a true PipBoy (not the FailBoy glove thing) downloaded from:

http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/38844

I suggest you use it so don't forget to also get NVSE:

http://nvse.silverlock.org/

If your going to have problems with the PipBoy 2500 just press F2 (it should open your inventory items then > Aid > [Pop-Boy 2500 Config.] > Change Field of View > Tiny (or pick any other size that suits your needs).

3)Credit:
Credit for a few parts of the texture goes to AntoFX.

I took a few parts of his texture (from http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/4929 T-51B Hirez Retex mod) and copied them in to my mod before retexturing.

4)Permission notes:
Use these files as you wish as long as your retextures will not contain any rust (the armor can look used but not rusty, not even a little) and be sure to credit me and AntoFX if you'll be using the texture for your own mesh.
