If that doesn't work, try this:

Yeah so I decided that today, I would start finishing up Finnpack. Then an inspiration hit and I was caught in the flow and I worked for hours on my first player model. I modeled it from scratch and I used the axis_medium as a reference so that it fits and I have joints in the right places. The hands have individual fingers.

Now I'm like omg look at the time I must type two essays so I'll have to finish tomorrow or the day after. All it needs is a hood and different equipment for different classes. Ammo pouches, grenades, a knife, a cool belt thing that goes around your shoulder and maybe a bag thing and a pistol holster.

Right now it's using the default dod face. Dunno if I'm gonna remodel that... maybe add a few polys here and there. I hope I won't have to deal with "Too many vertices" D:!:rolleyes:

lol btw here's a close-up pic of the boots D:

Looks great so far mate, especially that helmet.

It'll make a more than welcome change to all the axis pack out.

A suggestion for the equipment. Could you give some of the classes different types of pistols (e.g. medium has a p38, snip[er has a mauser, other classes luger etc) I dont know if these weapons were used by the finnish troops but it would look pretty good.

Anyway, keep up the good work. You going to release your weapon pack at the same time?

I could put different pistol models for different classes, but the problem is in 1st person it would always be the same model. Besides, you can't really see the pistol out of its holster anyway.

Yeah it'll be something like the Brit pack. I'm gonna change all the gui stuff, flags, etc.

Cool, should be pretty good.

I have no knowledge about what the finns did in WW2 other than they fought with the axis powers and got into some pretty bloody scrapes on the Eastern Front but after seeing your knife and the MG you made (Dp1928 was it?) I'll definately be looking these up when they're done.

Nice to see a new country getting represented for the first time. Keep up the good work mate.

Looking great so far, nice to see a completely new model instead of, though great work, reskins/recolours/hacks of the originals
