This is the 3rd model in the Russian pack that I have skinned so far and I do have to say I like this one the most.

Model:Tal Shiar
Animations:Cheeto
Skin:Anderson(except bullet texture by P_witty)

Only one piece left to skin so let me know what you all think.

Anderson

A nice juicy Render.

And finally ingame....Post what you think.

good start but needs a lot of detail :)

great start, but it is a little bland on the detail level. looking foward to seeing this completed.

Details, details, details....its all about the details :) I've been tinkering with all the different ref pics I have and am slowly going through and adding the bits and pieces. Progress shots later.

Even though, my abilities as a weapon skinner lack alot, I would say that you need more highlights...

it looks too clean and the metal looks too gray also i dont really like the origins :P

Personal opinion, but i think the model should be reorigined, somewhere around where the k98 is.

errr looks like the rifle is too close to the face or something :O

looks pretty good, but you're missing the sling slots. let me haul out my M-N and take a few pics, and I'll show you what I'm talking about.

alas, my camera batteries are dead. I'll try again tomorrow.

ok... just took a ton of photos of my 1943 Ishvesk arsenal 91/30. I hope someone can use them to make a kick arse model..

can you guys use pictures to design models? or do you have to have like measurments or something?

cool. didn't know if I was helping or not. I figured, I've got the rifle, maybe someone might like pics of it to help with the model.


now, to get a Nagant Revolver, and convince someone to make that.. :P
