Ok I have started up the elevation knob for the tripod. Bracket and actual piping that elevates is pretty much done, just the dial that turns the thing needs a bit more detail work and flairing out.
In all the Tris count now is 2421
I'm just doing this to avoid the optics right now :S It'll probably end up me finishing all the parts to this thing, and the optics still aren't done! Waiting on some stuff from NOs
Update January 14, 2009
I have capped the ends, since when you think about it you don't want to look down this, and you won't while shooting.
The connecting points have been fixed up a bit, the foward one has been evened out.
Lastly the grips have been given a rounded tip (relatively speaking) and the spot holding them on has been made into one piece(I have never found a good pic of that spot so I'm just assuming)
Tris Count:2,230
It's doubled from the breech alone! Speaking of the breech, it's pretty much done, but I need to attach the wire (for joy for joy)Update January 13, 2009
Ok, I've got a work in progress breech mechanism very WIP, I might ask for some assistance from someone like Z-Trooper or another CON.
Also being done is the grips for when the thing is in transit on its little wheels
Tris Count is at 2,196
Update January 8, 2009
Finished the front sight. All that's left of the actual weapon to allow it to be mounted ona technical is the Optics, mounting bracket, towing handles(this may or may not show up considering it is ona vehicle) and breech < :S
After making the inside one whole tube all the way through instead of a whole bunch of crevices everywhere I have also added the front sight.
Should look a bit like this--->V(for thsoe that don't know, that's a down arrow
)
Tri Count is now at 1552
Update January 6, 2009
Started new model 666 polies, 1312 tris, 1328 edges, 672 verts This should be lowered shortly, just need to uncap the ends of this pipe
Thanks goes to Z-Trooper for all the help conversing on X-Fire, Nos for his patience and persistance in finding me stuff(even though I fear a black truck coming to bring me to count trees in siberia
) Ice_Killer for something, Oleg_Russian for some tips, Jhoson for some pics, and the PR community for actually liking this idea and their support.
damnit anyone have links to easy methods?
