I was wondering if there was someone out there could put, oh, say the fg42 scope on Brutalization's most recent k43 model. I know this was done before, but i believe it was the the k98 scoped. i just would like a k43 with a scope, even though i cant use it just to take me back to my 1.2 days...I also realize that i could probably just rename the model for the k43 and it'd be fine, but i personally didn't think it even looked all that good. Anyways, if someone could do a simple hackjob *coughstridercough* i would be very happy. honest.

thanks, you can pick up the k43 model from http://www.dayofdefeat.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=18595, and i suppose the default fg42 scope. if you have one that you think looks better, im open to suggestions :)

ah nice... darken the metal on that scope though and it will blend in more with the k43 skin.

Hehe, yeah i can do that myself. well, you're on the right track. the scope looks good, but where it's attacked now would block the bolt from retracting when firing it. If you look at the version that has already been done (http://dodec.hlgaming.com/images/bittlesk43s.jpg), you can see that the person put a differant stand or whatever it's called, for the scope to attach to the rifle. it looks like they took half of the default fg42 scope stand, and stuck it on the side there. Although imo you'rs looks alot better now than the one that's been completed. Sorry if this sounds confusing, and if you don't wanna do it that's fine, but the realism junkie in me couldn't let the scope block the bolt of the rifle.

PS
could you also raise the scope a little more so that it clears the front sight? hopefully that's not as high as the other one, cause that looks way too high up imo. thanks! :)

Wow, that looks awesome. So much better than the other one. There's just one thing-the stand is on the wrong side. If you look at http://www.a-human-right.com/RKBA/G43/s_scope.jpg and http://www.a-human-right.com/RKBA/G43/s_G43receiver.jpg you can see that it's on the other side. And after looking and those pics myself, i realize that it doesn't need to be any higher up. Anyways, it's looking real good!

well, as i am not a modeler i don't really know what's possible or not in this area. Do you have to mirror it? Is it not possible to just stick the stand as is on the right side of the model?

cant be mirrored the right side is blank so if i mirrored it it would be black and crappy but check this it isnt as good as the enfield but hey lol

Increase the slices on that scope if you can, it's quite blocky at the moment. After that, just match the metal texture and you've got a winner.

hey, that looks friggin awesome. Don't worry about matching the colors, i can do that myself and sendem to you if you want to do an official release with it. So speaking of releasing, i'd say it's ready. thanks man, this looks really good.

I meant that the cylinder used to make the scope is 8 sided, when it should be around 16-20 sided to get a decent roundness for the distance you'll be viewing it at.
