Jun and Jinpei are the third and fourth members of "Gatchaman", 
a group of five youngsters who, every week, foil yet another attempt 
by the Galactor Syndicate to take over the world. When not in bird 
costume, they wear T-shirts numbered "3" and "4".

Jun's head is a heavily edited form of the C015MA nerd head mesh.
Jinpei's head is an edited C006MC mesh. The hair for both characters 
is a separate mesh. The bodies are torqued versions of B012FAFit and
B002MCChd respectively, with warpfiles applied to slim them down.

As Jinpei's head has big round eyes with pinpoint pupils, the
pupils may be too small to appear in the character's icon, creating
an "undead Jinpei" thumbnail. :) It's ugly, but doesn't mean 
there's anything wrong with the skin.

Jinpei's hair mesh has been remade from the old "helmet" to
something more faithful to the original. It's still covering
his ears, though. Ah well...

NB. These characters use the custom body types ATN and CSK.
The body type defaults should be downloaded and copied to the 
right directories (be sure to read the instructions: some files
have to be copied) before the Sims are created, or the game 
may crash, either during creation or when changing outfits.

If you don't want to use a custom body type, do the following:
-Throw away everything in this archive with "BAG1" in the name.
Or simply delete this archive and download "ga-heads.zip".
-Download "ga-fl-f.zip" and "ga-fl-c.zip". Be sure to read the 
renaming instructions.
You will now have the child and female Gatchaman civvies in
all colours and standard body types.

If you want both the custom Gatchaman civvies and the 
standard ones, the best order is to put the custom files in
the Skins directory first, then create the characters, then 
add the standard files.

For technical problems with these files, I wrote something called the
