I download an MOH:AA compatable version of the British Tank Corpral from Allied Assault.com, so does that mean I might be able to use the British 8th Army skin after all?

YES!!!!!

If I wanted to take the helmet and gear (with the author's premission of course) and put it on a diffrent body, well, first, is something like that even possible?

if it is, where could I find a tutorial on how to do it?

dude open the pk3 go to models/player open the TIK file with your notepad

you will see TIKI

I was going to use the parts to make a WWII Canadian skin, but when I emailed the author, he told me that he was working on a British skin with proper battledress, so I'll wait for that to come out and add Canadian Insignia to that skin.

If you make Canadians, that you need different player models as basic one. I don't see any accurate in mohaa and sh. I made completely new player model for soldier in batlledress (like Canadians, British, Polish etc.). They have new (properly pants and jacket). Also I added new two versions of mk2 helmet (clear and cammo). They will be release that fast as could be possible (I think that will be one, maybe two weeks - 100% plugins are in last test). So maybe you can wait. But cos, you can use this parts which you ask. Could be nice say a word about this in your skin release notice ;). Regards. Krzysztof

Hi,
I'm building a realistic WWII Canadian Infantry skin for MOH and was wondering if it would be alright with you if I used the helmet and web-gear from your British Desert Rat model?
Thanks,
Redhawk Six
