I've done about half of it, now.

It's Maschinen-Pistole 40 or just Schmeisser.

Looks good so far.

It's funny how they call it Schmeisser when Hugo Schmeisser had nothing to do with the making of the MP38/MP40.

This thread is made of win and awesome. The skin looks great.

this person speaks the truth.

Ahh metal furniture for our MP-40 brilliant skin mate.

very nicely done, i'll be using this when its released :D

Get crackin on the rest of the skin, I want it ASAP!

Very nice. Definatly going to use. (No rush - ^the above was not implying I want you to spend every waking hour on it.)

Hm you mind if I provide reload animation for it? The stock ones are incorrect (the notch that the bolt can go in was a safety, and had nothing to do with the reload).

if you do, you can find some demonstration videos on reloading the MP40 here (http://www.gunpics.net/movies/movies.html). :)

Yep, I will try to finish it today, I have already done the magazine, and have the major highlights done for the main cylinder.

Im at school at the moment, but when I get home I believe I will get it done.

There isnt much work on the map anyways. Unless I fail like the first time I tried to do this....

Thanks for the kind comments, even from Splint ;)

Here's some more progress

Tehehee, nope. Still the barrel left.

I will finish tomorrow. It's late.

Take your time man! Make sure it's perfect before you release it :D

As far as I can tell from the screenshots (which seem a little dark) the dimensions are perfect. I can speak from personal experience AND about a hundred color photos that the side grips, which were made of Bakelite, usually have a slightly brown or reddish tinge to them (something the DOD:S model depicted accurately)

they weren't always made of bakelite I believe, if I've heard correctly bakelite grips weren't introduced until later on in the war, but I could be wrong.

Well they were never wood or metal and plastic wasn't very strong in those days, so that pretty much narows the field

the allies called it the schmeisser even though they had nothing to do with it

I imagine that's because they didn't know any better.

It requires the few finishing touches, practically done though.

I doubt he cares.

Do you want this weapon or not?

Is a name such a huge thing??

If it really matters that much I will release a model with it written wrong all over the place, and not release the right version at all.

Stop typing please.

We know you're the self-appointed realism Nazi, but could you restrain yourself for just a little bit please?

Ecellent work, Gellyman. Can't wait for a compile.

defently a beautiful model gelly :) I hope you make some more for dod:s :)

Theres an STG44 coming, im also thinking of doing a luger and an MG42

PuXX, troll this thread again and you'll regret it. One post was enough.

Anyway, very nice work Gellyfish. It's nice to watch how a modeller gets better and better, I still remember your first few WIPs :p

yes finally a lugar model to replace the p38!!! w00t

Gelly I have to say...

I will be very interested in this release. I can see that you very accurately scaled and dimensioned this model. Not an easy job. Thing is, aside from one animation mistake, so does the default DOD:S model! So right off the bat you have some very stiff competition IMHO.

it's not his model, Soul_Slayer made it. :)

WHOOPS!

My bad. I swear I didn't know.

He posted the first few pics with sections missing so that just kinda made me think he was building the model. He forget to mention in his original post it was just a skin or that it was someone else's model....

NOW there is a link up with a pic with credits at the very, very bottom.... dude.... better documentation next time....

I'll just stop at that. Thanks for the heads up Makabi

so is today the day? :carrot:

If you make an mg42 or kar98 with this level of quality you would make my day.

I've modelled a kar98 some time ago. Brutal was skinning it but stopped. So did geno.

They should be shot.

Twice.

And then killed.

Depending on where we shoot them.

I don't know why I was totally sure you modelled this too.

Because you were too lazy to scroll down the image.

And don't forget the weapons reference pics in the main forum, also my thread on reference pics.

Wow, I would really need those stg refs, the uv's for the sturmgewehr will propably be done for the end of the week and I'll start skinning it.

Wile, can you please upload those somwhere or gmail them to me?

sproily gmail com

Outstanding work. Incredibly sharp and crisp textures, and the model itself seems like an actual replica of the real thing.

You can PM me for reference pictures, Sproily.

Hey sproily, do you think you and your band of merry men could do some first person hands sometime. The fat thumbs bug me, the HL2 hands were good, but then i reckon CSS and DoDS hands didnt quite hit it.

:P


Love the gun by the way. Keep up the good work. :carrot:
