I was going to skin this myself and release the unwraps after I had, but the skin aint working out, so I'm gonna release the maps (I will still continue trying) but for the meanwhile.. entertain yourself with these

BIG THANKS TO QWERTY4030 FOR THE MAPS!

Hot secks!

Found any compilers/animators? :p

*begins search for refs*

Edit: Could you seperate the moving parts (http://www.r2dev.net/forral/render1.jpg) of the bolt and the clip from the main body so we can see what we're doing? Or tell the newbs like me how to do so ;)

that isnt the bolt, the bolt is the cylindrical thing with the blocky end and it has that pulling thing sticking from it, thats the bolt that you pull back.

what program are you using?

Yeeeh I'm not the greatest with terminology/military history.

3D Max 8.

when you have the whole model selected, right click and choose editable poly, then you get some small icons and lotsa stuff in the right panel, click the red (if i remember right) cube (element button) then select the parts you want to move, and then move.

ps. refugee update

We need this back in dod sauce. :dog:

Im currently giving this a try but if anyone else needs refs heres an outstanding site http://www.apfeltor.com/HTML%20Pages/g43collection/hobnails.html

Sproily if you could use anything Ive done for this so far let me know, basically ive done the wood, some of the ZF scope and some of the reciever, i dont know how they look on the model (dont have any modeling apps atm) but you or anyone else is welcome to use them I probobly wont get around to finishing this


Note the serial number are actual numbers taken off the reference pics incase any of you get boners over cool details like that. But I was thinking of when this is more complete having several different serials for if it were a reproduction or a repaired k43.

You know what i reckon? In the dodging of the metal, try and put some coloured tints in there. Like a bit of a blueish tint as if there's a slight blue light or object reflecting the metal.

I'll try skin this myself, i will fail, so don't expect anything.
