wow, really good job! With the exception of the black stocks, looks very real and convincing.

looks really nice man :D

That is elite.

I saw the WIP thread at the CDG. Incredible job Kimono, any chance of you doing some other models?

If you skin all the dod weapons, I would build a shrine in your honor. I was looking at your ther skins...and they look very real!

very nice! needs bakelite :]

ITS GREAT!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:D :D

Wow, very nice.

Very nice skin, definatly going to use it :cool:

The lighting looks a bit random/inconsistent in some places to me, but otherwise rather sexy! :)

Can you make it more dark (black) ?? in some places look like gray...

thx anyway.

Wow, nj on this bad boy.

MP40s were made with both Bakelite AND metal lower handle grip thingys.

You want to start a realism debate with Coyote engineer? You've lost already!

Its a solid reskin Kimono, brilliant work.

Just say this, I don't use custom skins anymore...

But hey, I still got that MP40 and I won't del it!

Awesome MP40! Best yet! (hint, hint, bakelite Wile).

Every MP40 ive ever seen has been Grey.

Yes, there is always the case with these WW2 German weapons (and even the American ones) that knowing exactly how they appeared in WW2 is somewhat of a challenge. Existing weapons today (allied and axis) almost inevitably were re-used by several countries LONG after WW2 was over, and spare parts would have had to been made or used from captured WW2 stock. Also, there IS the factor of massive mass-production and material shortages that happen during warfare. Something like 1.2 million MP/40's were made in the span of 5 years.

But hey, don't listen to me ;) , listen to incredibly wealthy people who actually deal in collecting these things and finding spare parts for them!

Any chance for a reskin with Bakelite?

needs more realism (bakelite)

This is so sweet, but I can´t get it ingame :rolleyes:

There are two folders included in the file: materials and models. And here´s, where I´ve put them:

materials: E:\Steam\SteamApps\myEMail\day of defeat source\dod\materials\models\weapons\v_models and w_models

models: E:\Steam\SteamApps\myEMail\day of defeat source\dod\models\weapons

But it don´t appear ingame :/ What did I do wrong?

Don't rename the materials folder, leave it as SS.mp40

Works now, thanks :dog:

Am I the only one that thinks they all look better without bakelite?

Awesome mp40 by the way.

No lots of people like it better as all-metal and that's okay :D I personally only get out of whack because people refer to the default model as
A) having wood or
B) being unrealistic because it's not metal.

Neither of these are true. But yeah lot's of people prefer an all-black MP40Originally posted by Bunk3rk1ng

Awesome mp40 by the way. I don't... I too prefer Bakelite.


Splinter also made skin for this model which featured Bakelite, but I don't think he ever quite finished it. (He doesn't like DoD Source much, to say the least.)

I have a picture of it and the Bakelite looks very good in my opinion.

Using Wile E's Bakelite texture,I may be able to whip something up.

Without the production docs, we may never know the truth. :(
