[US Army] Special Deluxe

[Flintlock1415]

Yea, I toyed with that idea to give it a better quality look, but I didn't feel like reblendering the model for that. I suppose now that I have 4 days off in a row (2 weeks in a row total that I haven't been in school!) I can fix that up, and maybe add in some back seats as well.

That IS a tommy gun.

 

[Flintlock1415]

Oh yea, duh. I was thinking about the round cartridge, though. I think I've seen one, so I'll add that on.

 

[Edgecrusher]

Yes, but I would have the same death bug as mine unless you did some custom animating. Is there a half track model around here? (I've never noticed one.)

I have a Half-Track Model at home (I didn't make it, I forgot where I picked it up.) I can upload it when I get home,

This model is really cool. I espeically like the Mobster-esque one.

 

[Flintlock1415]

Thanks, Edgecrusher

Once you get the tommygun mobster up, be sure to post the image to the OP, I want to see it in all it's glory.

 

[Flintlock1415]

Well, I have a Nifskope pict for you, but I still need to figure out how to attach the hat so it moves with his head correctly. Once I do that, I'll release it with an in-action image. If anyone has any tips on how to do this, that'd be awesome! (I already posted in The_Coyote's tutorial thread, but I still could use some here!)

 

[mechaerik]

Easy; attach the hat to the head node.


Make the hat a child of the Head node.

 

[Flintlock1415]

Oh, I see. I was trying to make it a child of the whole node. Wow, I'm smart.

 

[Flintlock1415]

Alright, I added the finished version to the first post. Here's a quick look:

.

Any ideas, where it could be used ?

 

[Flintlock1415]

IDK, maybe someone could make a Gang mod I just made these units for fun and to learn some new modeling/nifskope techniques.

 

[phungus420]

The mobster looks great.

Wish I had someway to use it, but alas, it will be like the Yellow Submarine... Epic Coolness, but not much functionality. Hopefully someone will find a spot for the gangster though, it's just too awesome to sit around unused.

 

[Flintlock1415]

Thanks Phungus. I hope this has a bit more chance to be used than a yellow submarine, though.

Maybe fictionalization can find a home for it? Or maybe someone can make a special event that gives a player the unit? When there is a will, there is a way!

 

[Flintlock1415]

Thanks, Capo. It doesn't really bother me that not many people are dling it, since its got quite a small niche. I know it looks bad ass anyway, so thats enough satisfaction for me!

 

[The Capo]

Maybe you could make it a special "John Dillinger" unit. I'm watching a documentary about him right now. He was a pretty bad-ass MF'er.

 

[Flintlock1415]

Sounds good to me.

 

[The_J]

Maybe fictionalization can find a home for it?

Herounit "Al Capone" ?
Maybe also something for the wonder units mod.

 

[mechaerik]

Or perhaps an event could spawn these?
