Weapons - Fn Scar-h

[Mikala]

Mean looking little gun.
Those shells have some rather showy bullets on them

[Petrograde]

Great work! I love FN's too... I miss my SAW sometimes.

They're started selling a semi-auto version of this weapon,.. It's high up on my list of toys to aquire.

I can't wait to see more!!

[meaty-btz]

This is a fantastic job. Love it! Wish things were different these days.. more like my youth when you could go to a gun show and find the same class of rifle for sale in yesteryears modles of course. Still.. NICE.

Your detail work and accuracy (break apart model!) is quite stunning.

[bmckain]

Really nice work! Should look like the real thing textured.

[John Marchant]

Really nice smooth modeling there

[infinityloop]

Thank you guys!

Sadly no updates yet because i am enjoying the holidays with my wife and kids.
I will get back to the model in about a week or so.

*8 months later*

Oh my god... did realy so much time pass since the last update?

I was very busy at work and with the prep. of the constrution of my new house. Those bureaucrats can realy drive you

Now that the construction is progressing nicely, I can finally work again on my SCAR!


So today I modeled the foregrip.


As you all surely know by now, I do have an obession with details.
So I am wondering what the text on my ref image could say which is stenciled into the foregrip.

Anyone an idea?

[hal]

Don't have a clue, but from what I can tell the foregrip is interchangeable (tends to vary in different photo's I've seen) so it could just be a custom one.

Don't know if you have these our not but I hope these can help with some of the other detail. http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=6&f=2&t=280622&page=1

Nice work on the house.

[infinityloop]

Thanks hal!
There are a few very nice detail shots in that thread.

[Rigel]

Nice to see some updates again. The model is looking very good.

The house render though; I see you're trying to get the "wet look" to the top but I think your spec settings are too high. Nice background though.

Any ETA on finishing the house?

I hope that I can now stay working on it until finished. Really looking forward to texturing it.I plan to create a new and a beaten up look.

He, he. You should see the basement shot with 15 cm water in it. Awesome fluid-simulation - nearly cried the first time I've seen it.

We plan to move in next year mid/end summer. even though both kids want to sleep in their new rooms already - camping time!

[Andrew March]

What you have there is a gripod also known as a tactical pod incorporating a bipod and grip all in one, I think the one you have linked to is a knoghts industry pod, so it will have the standard knights industry writing on it.

If it isn't a Knights then it's probably a LaRue.

Thanks a lot for the info about the bipod!

Did more diging and now I see how it is supposed to work.

Need to change the model accordingly.

[Phoenix]

hehe very cool - goes right along with the Suppressor I'm getting ready to machine for my rifle.

Nope, Scar H's have a specially designed QD suppressor that locks onto the flash hider using a push down 'goal mouth' clamp, it's a very cool little design actually.

[infinityloop]

Remodeled the BiPod.

Thank's to everyone for the infos!

Next: Buttstock

[Andrew March]

Nice work,

Can I ask what colour you're going to texture it?

I want to create textures for these 2 colorstyles:

I also want to create a "clean/fresh from factory" and a "used" version for both colors.

And depending on how well that works, I might try some (non-realsitic) camo styles.

[Andrew March]

Cool, glad you're going for the Tan version. Just take one thing into account which doesn't always show up in photos, the Tan receiver has a metalic look to it, in fact it almost looks like a dirty gold colour.

Thanks for the info!

Had a bit time this afternoon to start on the Buttstock.
Please ignore the smoothing errors, will fix those tomorrow.

[Mikala]

Fine looking bit of metal and plastic (or whatever the substance is that is not metal on this )this beast is.

[infinityloop]

any chance that someone knows what scope that is in this picture?


I would need some more ref images.

*edit*
Think I found it - Aimpoint CompM2

[Andrew March]

Yep, that's an Aimpoint mate. Specifically an M2 military Aimpoint.

Not really the type of scope you normally see on a Scar, I would recommend you model something like the SpecterDR scope for the Scar H.

[aussie3d]

Hi, The only reference that I could find was the following.
ACOG/Thermal scope.

Another site, mentioned the scope as being, M68 Aimpoint , here is the link.
Hope it helps. Great looking rifle here.

[infinityloop]

I started with the next part of the Buttstock today - but for some reason I could not get it to look right. :S

So I decided to give it a break and take a shot on the Aimpoint CompM2 Scope. Ended up working with quite a few nurbs... which I do not like that much to be honest.

This is todays progress. A lot of detailing and finetuning has to be done. It is also a bit too long right now.
The "mounting" part is currently just a rough palceholder.

[Andrew March]

That's looking fine mate, if you want to know any details on the M2, give me a shout, I've got one upstairs in a box

Words can not describe how jealous I am now.

[Andrew March]

Oh, that's nothing mate, in France at my friends farm I have an HK33E, an M4alike CQB-R and an M4alike Daniel Defense.

PVS14 night vision goggles, Mich2001 helmet, full Delta Elite floating harness kit, warrior assault systems RICAS (US CIRAS Maritime ver.), surefire M961 tactical flashlight, 4x32 ACOG, HK USP Compact, Baretta Tactical Master and the list goes on and on and on.
Just in case the balloon goes up you understand

[aussie3d]

Now that makes me as jealous as all H---, all my stuff I left in the US, was an SKS, Desert 44, win 357 revolver and a rem 12G shotty, I'm going to France... weep weep...

[infinityloop]

Spent pretty much the entire morning on the scope and it's mount.



So now that this is done as well, I have to finish the buttstock.

Unless I decide start with the GL attachment.
