Looks good SPARTAN II. Can't wait to see your progress.

Thanks, Lee! At the rate I've been going with this one (only started on it a day ago, lol) I hope to have the rest done shortly.

I plan on drafting both side profiles, given the different details on each, as well as the front/rear views. Do you think I should also draw up the dorsal/ventral views?

Considering I never provided those for the SR blueprints I posted here, I thought it might be a good idea to do so this time around, lol.

Those are some really nice drawings Spartan! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Yes, for this one!

cool

Excellent! Excellent work Sparten II, keep it up. Between yours and Wizard of Flight&#39;s plans we&#39;ll have the entire UNSC arsenal available eventually. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

I guess that settles it then, lol. I&#39;ll also draft the dorsal/ventral (as in top/bottom) schematics for the SPNKr. Given how quickly I&#39;ve been working on these ones, hopefully I&#39;ll have them ready within the next week or so. I&#39;ve got some spare time coming up this weekend, so that&#39;ll definately help.

Though a bit off-topic, relating to the SR thread, I&#39;ll try to work some time in during this project to finish the front/back and dorsal/ventral schematics for that one. Okay, back on topic now, lol.

And thanks for the compliments, fellas. I&#39;d like to think the quality of my work could be up to par with Wizard&#39;s, lol. I actually have schematics for the AR and SR from the first game drawn up, as well as the BR and SR from the second game, and even though I know others have posted their own versions of those I thought I may still put those up here as well.

Of course, my main focus at the moment is the SPNKr (and the remainder of the SR) schematics, so that comes first. Don&#39;t want Lee to be without a good set of blueprints for his next project after all, lol. As I can now scan them into my computer, I&#39;ll be able to simply e-mail them to you, rather than having to send them via snail-mail to you again (unless you&#39;d prefer another original, hand-drawn set to work with) [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img]

You might as well at some point, and collect them all into one thread like Wizard&#39;s when there&#39;s enough to warrent it. Someone may get bored enough to start up a display cabinet showcasing the evoloution of the SR, BR, etc. Heck, just the evolution in blueprint form would be worth having (but I&#39;m a bit strange). [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]

Back on topic. How&#39;s those SPNKr drawings coming, done yet? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img]

BOLD # 1: That&#39;s what I was thinking of doing actually, lol. But like you said, only after I&#39;ve drawn/posted enough to warrant such a thread being made.

BOLD # 2: I&#39;d be the same way, so you&#39;re not the only weird one here, lol. In fact, I have found it kinda kewl to see the progression of the different weapons in the schematics I&#39;ve done. Maybe others would, too.

BOLD # 3: No, not yet. I&#39;m not that fast, lol. Besides, been spending the better part of the evening catching up with a friend online (haven&#39;t talked to her in about a year and a half, so a lot of catching up to do). If we finish chatting soon enough, I&#39;ll have time to work on them a bit. If not... there&#39;s always tomorrow night.

EDIT: In regards to BOLD # 1, I actually managed to find a thread I&#39;d posted way back when showing pics of the HALO/HALO 2 schematics I&#39;d drawn up ("A few things on the horizon..." thread). It was one of the first threads I&#39;d ever posted here, lol.

No need to rush on my account, I&#39;ve got more than enough projects to keep me busy for the moment (like finishing my first set of armour and I&#39;m researching the H3 shotty). It would be a very cool build though.

Oh, and it definately will be a kewl build indeed, once Lee gets started on it (has to finish with the SR first though, lol).

Believe me, the last thing I want to do is rush this. Given my anal-retentive high standards for detail and accuracy that I typically impose on myself (both for my own prop builds and the schematics I draw for them), I won&#39;t release these until I&#39;m 110% satisified with the end result, lol.

I&#39;m hoping to have these all done within a week, but we&#39;ll have to see how far I get with it by the end of the weekend.

I swear... sometimes I can be my own worst enemy when it comes to such things. Perfection (or as close to "perfect" as possible) has its price [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img]

For the first time in almost two months I don&#39;t already have anything social planned for the coming weekend. So, perhaps I&#39;ll take the opportunity to just devote all that time to this. Besides, the one person I was really wanting to spend some time with isn&#39;t available this weekend, so it kinda works out this way, lol.

I&#39;m looking forward to these as well. I&#39;d love to take on a rocket launcher build. Will you be making these available for download once they&#39;re complete?

I&#39;m glad to hear that. I hope you like what I come up with.

To answer your question, as I&#39;d mentioned in my last post here:

[...]</div>

And as I&#39;d mentioned in another related (the H3 SR) thread:

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(SPARTAN II @ Apr 2 2009, 09:47 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>[...]

When I do manage to finish up with the SR here though, I&#39;ll be sure to post links to the PDF files along with the other ones I put up back on Page 01 of this thread. Just have to clean up (as in delete) some of the attachments in my profile, and I should then have enough space to post the rest of them once they&#39;re complete.

[...]</div>

So yes... I will be making these available to others once they&#39;re done to my exacting standards. Won&#39;t accept nothing but the best from myself, as I take pride in the drafting work I do for any of the prop schematics I&#39;ve done.

I&#39;ll probably do the same PDF file attachment approach for people to download from as I did in Lee&#39;s H3 SR blueprint thread.

EDIT: I was just thinking about when I put these new schematics up, and something occured to me. Given the size of these (the side profile alone is eight standard 8" by 11" pages; the largest I&#39;d done before this was only three) and the fact I&#39;m using a standard at-home All-in-One printer which only scans in 8" by 11" pages one at a time, just one full schematic would equal eight PDF files to download.

I&#39;ve still got another five schematics to start drafting on top of this, so to try and save each section of each schematic to my hard drive to then put here for download in such a manner would be rather cumbersome and inconvenient for some, I would imagine. I&#39;ll have to rethink how I&#39;m going to make this one available for downloading (maybe it would be easier for me to e-mail them to people upon request; that way no one has to download them one piece at a time). Hmm... *ponders*

You know, I&#39;ve seriously got to get myself some professional, large-scale drafting paper instead of just using X number of pages of printer paper for these, lol.

I think your Idea about e-mailing is a good Idea, but you could post the full pics for people to see.

You can buy roll paper to do your drawing on, or get Auto CAD. Just some suggestions!
