Heres the progress i have so far. This is once again just like the M1 carbine with all the custom metal and wood. Its hi-res and it will probably be low-res to. It will be maybe a couple of days till the next update. Well enjoy the pic!

Looks really good so far. Do release when ready. :)

Heres a little update sooner than i thought :) This skin is probably the most detailed greatest looking skin ever!!! This skin is blowing me away its coming along very well. I hope that if you guys dont like it when it releases just download it and give it a try because if you dont ill fell like you guys are missing out lol enjoy the update.

what are you talking about i didnt use the noise filter so i recomend you dont say stuff that you dont know.;)

Please don't take this stuff the wrong way.

The highlights are very obtuse. They are big thick and bold, which leads to a "sloppy" look in my opinion (especially with the FOV of the model in the default anims). You may want to try and thin them down, or make them appear a bit more subtle so things like the gas system cover on the handguard don't contrast so heavily against the upper receiver.

I agree to a point with the aforementioned poster who "doesn't know" about the grainyness of the texture. It does look like you were using the noise filter or sharpen filter; whether or not you actually did doesn't have much to do with his arguement. That said, I don't think the metal should look that grainy: Aside from powdercoating that is done on some modern guns, bluing or parkerizing isn't going to leave a "grain" like that, specifically for a weapon that is less than a year old at maximum.

And just a word of advice: Touting a WIP skin as "probably the most detailed greatest looking skin ever!!!" does not come off very well- it makes you seem very haughty.

lol no i was saying like its my greates most detailed skin ever.

Just don't go into the advertising business, k?

Keep it up, practice practice practice.

Heres a big update compared to the last one. Theres still a couple of things I need to fix thought. All the metal so far is custom made by me. I dont know what im going to do with the wood yet. Anyway enjoy the pics.

srry for the double post but im not sure anyone saw the update because it when to the bottom of the page.

The metals great. However, I think the wood could use some work. Try to give it some more detail, or even better go for bakelite instead... I hear MP44's often came with bakelite.

i think guyver thought you were refering to the stock, not the pistol grip.

Yep, the grip is Bakelike, the stock however, is not.

Since DoD123's picture mostly showed the stock, I thought he meant it should be Bakelite.

awesome work !

but the wood... it can be better :D

Any updates?

please release, been waiting forever :(

He told me a while ago that he's not planning on finishing it.

well I could release what I have?

it looks pretty good - I may do another 1.3 immitation using yours (link to my previous one (http://www.dayofdefeat.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=62394&highlight=1.3+immitation))

well I would download if you released it, I could care less about details I want it!
