That looks hmmm.............explosive. Almost there

Thought I would just post a little blurb on the effectiveness of the energa. its not effective against tanks. The 73mm version is unlikly to kill your tanks. They are effective againt light armor like bmps and m113's. They will royally mess up a tank however. Done about 10 drive my tank into masses of infantry tests. Results have been 1 killed tank, 9 really messed up damaged tanks.

However the South Africian version will kill your tank with a good side shot. The SAF's 75mm version of the Super Energa is probably the most effective version of this weapon. BUT it has a really low effective range of 75 meters. The lighter and smaller 73mm versions effective range is somewhere between 100 and 125 meters.

These really short ranged type of anti armor weapons effectiveness (or lack of) is why LAW rockets and such replaced them in most NATO armys during the 70's and 80's.


Anybody looking forward to getting your paint smudged with this thing?



Gawd it would suck to fire one of these things like that.....



Just want to say that the problem with 3dmax and reset x form is that they put that stupid command hidden in the back of the GUI so you freaken forget to hit it. Then like a moron you go what the F*** is wrong with my model for 2 hours before you go DUH. I MEAN REALLY...............get rid of the stupid teapot icons and put the freaken reset X form there........gawd ugh annoyed at the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And the comedy of errors that has been this project continues................At least the latest has been graviteams. Pivot for fnfal is slightly off. But then again so is mine in Y axis, but theirs is in X asis. Both our Z axis are right though. ;lol. Maybe I shouldnt say Graviteam's is off, looks like it was a quick fix for rifle position. But now I have to move my model to to get it to line up.....DON'T FIX THAT GRAVITEAM......After this is done I dont want to play with this model anytime soon. Something SO simple has driven me up a wall.

To the 6 of you that downloaded the 1.1 beta of mine......... Any problems? I dont see anybody going this is all ****ed up. So Im guessing everything works right.

Ok, model is not perfectly right on but seeing as maybe 1 in 100 people will give a ****. Im calling it good to go. Now tweek spec and diffuse map.

OMG, a two hour project turned into an at least 16 hour project just for this freaking thing. But I certainly now know what NOT to do when making a model for SABOW. But Im calling this DONE. Maybe.............Kind of dark................AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Ok, lightened up the diffuse map, added in one lower LOD, and packed this dohicky up in my mod structure.

Now I have another stupid idea for a simple project. A steel pot (helmet) for Iran side. But if I do that it will be when I get around to releasing mission #4. SHOULD BE 3 hour project....lol. Oh and the IRAN side really needs G3's, not FNFALs. I would do an ak74 as I have parts of projects I could recycle. But Im waiting for a Russian to do it..........

My first serious model incase anyone cares.




Based on my I love me project I messed with after I returned from Iraq a few years back.



Do I look crazy? Oh don't care.

Wow, nice AK you have there.

Really modified saiga hunting carbine. I like to tinker. Shoots great. Fun toy. Had cleaned my m4 enough to know I would never buy a civilian version.........ever. M4 and talcom powder sand = bad. Either you clean the thing always or it fails. Works great IF you can keep it clean. That saiga just dosent care about that as much. But she's my baby.

Its pretty funny really. ill hit a range and theres always some guy with 2 or 3000 dollar wonder weapon. They always shoot from a bench at 25 meters and get excited if the get a 3 inch group. I phone pops out to take the picture. They look down on your ak deal untill you get to work. An Izmash made ak works very well. Its simple, its rugged, and can me made all pretty. If I give my girl good US made brass ammo (its in .223) she likes ..........well wow is all i can say. Shoots better than she should....at least from a cold barrel and the first 12 or so rounds. Then she's just good after that.

Yeah, but can you do this?
