i have a request, could the mods if possible merge threads?

edit: i just remembered don't make a file for the CQB shoulder or Micky's shoulder as it's better know for. why? you ask well 1ManBattalion made one in his thread on page 4

I had actually intended this thread to be a compilation of the actual progress we've made from that thread (and disregarding some of the earlier or less important posts). The decision to merge, however, is still up to the mods. I just don't see a need for it.

Here is some reference , incase you model the backpack,legs, etc.

Thanks, 222

I used that picture as a reference for the sniper shields, but I forgot I could use it for the chest/backpack. I know this is a concept drawing, but is this reference accurate enough to the real game that I should model off of it? There seems to be a bit of a lack of reference.

I'm guessing the line drawing to the left is part of the backpack. (You can see the bar and antennae (spelling?) behind him). Both that and the front look tempting. Of course, I don't thinkg I'm good enough to model the large chest armor below the equuiptment boxes (you can barely see it anyway), but I might try the equiptment. Is that blue piece connected to the chest armor, or seperate? (I'm thinking I'll model the equiptment directly under that). And I might throw in those grenades for fun (although they might be easier to make from scratch).

Is the backpack piece one piece (well, seperate pieces, but connected?)

Also, how thick is the base of those equiptment boxes (the large top one and smaller bottom one, both beneath the blue thing)? I mean the part behind the dark grayish-blue, silver and black parts. The base with the silver stripes. I'm thinking maybe two to three inches. And is the small, flat piece right above the groin connected to those equiptment boxes? (In other words, should I include it if I make a model of those boxes?)

Sorry for all the questions, I'm just trying to better understand the picture.

Another thing (all of these questions) ... People have asked me to do the new ODST boots, but they just look like boots to me. Are they also in one piece? And are there any good reference pics I can get to help me? It's just disappointing that I have so little to work with.

I have a sinking feeling that ODST&#39;s are going to be the next MKVI around here in the near future. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img]

If you follow this Clicky and go to renders you should have some good refrences for your models. Hope this will help you. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]

What makes it "sinking"??

About Pep 2. I didn&#39;t even know that the files would be incompatible with older versions.
I didn&#39;t unfold those, but I would sugguest contacting any of the unfolders (MrOreo123, 222notforyou, HeavyGunner, Th3 FETT MAN, etc)

Thanks! Finally a few people have answered my call for more reference. I&#39;ll get started immediately. Remember, the modelers can only do so much and so fast. The rest is up to you.

Thanks for the link. These will be a great help when I start modeling!



PS - HeavyGunner, I&#39;ll put those in the first post. Thanks!

you guys probaly already figured it out but it looks like all the stuff thats there on the shins and so on look like minor add ons so maybe you dont need to build the whole thing like the shin and stuff ya know?

Wow, that&#39;s amazing! Your going to be great in this forum, I&#39;m excited to build this, thanks!
