I want one. There are many on amazon and ebay but none that resemble the hula girl in my mech. This will not do. I could probably find a person with a 3D printer willing to make a few of them for a hefty donation of ammo or pmags but I have no talent at painting things and would not be able to finish them. Nor do I know the specifics of whatever internal sorcery makes the hula girl sway. What course of action shall I take?

Make your girlfriend/wife wear the outfit. Caution: Requires girlfriend or wife. Double Caution: may require extensive bribing!

if you got the right wife/gf she gonna wear it with pleasure. But not sure if such an outfit last long, seems to be quite fragile.

Greetings all,

This is all find and dandy, but I'd actually like the dashboard hula girl to have a bit better graphics and details.
(this item is rendered in a very low model, blocky feet and hands. Lets look at something better if I'm going to be seeing her out of the corner of my vision when moving.)

- At least closer to the level of the NVidia Dawn character.
(I understand that item is a special copy write item and designed specificially for MechWarriors initial release. I have the Dawn item also and it makes the Hula seem so 'basic'.)

- I have seen the files of this Hula item and it looks like an improvement of the image files for the body should work.
~ I'm assuming that this does indeed break the agreement with PGI/IPG if it was attempted.
- and possibly break the file integrity?

So, here's the first question:
Q1: Can any of these files be modified to improve the graphics features of the base image?
- If so, I do not want to change the item just bring higher resolution to this ornament.
(is that even possible? Are all these items locked at a set resolution?)

Q2: Off topic but related, How will the Unit decals for placement on a Mech be handled?
- Will these be submitted to PGI for approval? (with set parameter's)
- Any method of 'seeing' the item placed before entering a match?
