📋 About This Mod

Finally, I decided to do this retexture. DB armor model was hard enough to-do for me a few years ago. But now I understand how to make new textures 'from scratch'. This mod contains ABSOLUTELY NEW, really high quality textures for DB armor. I did not change anything, I tried to make it vanilla-like and I managed to do this.

I really hope that you will like it. And I'll be glad if you endorse this file, because I've spent a lot of time and energy for this modification. Your comments and likes are the best reward for me.

Many thanks to JesusOden  for test and screenshots
