Hello everyone,

Here is the second installment of my work, Nomad's Garand and Ankalar's reskinned Browning Automatic Rifle. As you can see, Ank's B.A.R. is not fully converted to 1.0 and will be soon. The Garand on the other hand, obviously is.

Comments are welcome.

looking good. Get rid of the old hands on the bar tho. then all you have to do is release!

Yes, don't worry, the old hands will be gone before I release. I wish I could get this in an IS position like some of Glimsharp's models.

Not to ruin your moment of glory here but i'm almost positive that garand (or a diff. skin of it) was allready converted. Within a few hours/days of 1.0's release.

May be wrong tho.

Good work

awesome job poly, love both of em.

and i left you a PM btw ;)

Genie: it was, but it was the original skin that first came with the model (back in 2.0?) and although the shoulder origins are perfect, I use it and find that for some reason it looks too small.

love the skins gj.

God, I am really disliking these new Garand models.

Whyd does everyone have that rounded part at the end of the wood?! I think it makes an otherwise GREAT looking model bad. Jajahu's pack did that too.

The only custom Garand model ever released on any Day of Defeat boards was mine, -=Nomad=-, which was made around then end of 1.3 and released shortly after 2.0. The model has been rehashed and reskinned so many times people have lost who made the model. I still have no clue what you hate, though.

everytime i see your wood it makes me cry its so beautiful :eek:

off topic: russ get on AIM

If it's not supposed to be round, what's it supposed to look like?

These are lookin good. What would be really cool is if you can find an animator that can put the site up right after the bipod is extended. Now that would ROCK!

Good job.

welcome back nomad.

and yes cath0de....please get credits right. k thx.

i like the skin but not the models.

Awesome.

I was actually contemplating making a request thread a few days ago for that BAR to be converted, but I couldn't remember who did the skin nor could I find and link to the old version.

My only complaint has been that I've never been too keen on that cherry-ish tone on the wood. I mean it looks good, but the wood makes the guns using that style look extremely well-kept compared to the other custom (and standard) models out there. Maybe if there was a pack in this style for all the guns in DoD it would mesh better. ;)

Either way, I'm happy to see this thread.

I prefer the default models, but but not the default skins :/

awesome!

Thanks guys; it's good to see you back in the forums Nomad .

at the end of the M1 Garand, it looks like its swelling or getting fat at the end...

i like the wood for the garand.

thanks for the tip off poly, definitely looking forward to it, is this a re-skin or a model job as well?

(if im stupid because I dont pay attention this is an apology ahead of time : "Sorry, im dumb")

yep Im dumb, I didnt really read the post he he.

Holy ****! :eek:

That BAR is much better than you old one, great work, can't wait to use

Yes Jackal, the B.A.R is a complete reskin , so is the M1 Garand.
The one you see now is the final version of it, as opposed to the many you have seen before. As my metal technique keeps changing, I love to update "classic" models that deserve to be converted to the latest DoD version.

Well, excellent work as usual, however I have one problem with the BAR model itself : due the HL engine´s tendency to display models incorrectly (their front parts look out of proportion and too tiny in the first person view), the bipod looks very small and rather weak.

Same here 95% of the time (although i adore Ankalars bar over the default).
