The Armory

[magyareagle]

These are the finished Lowpoly weapons made in c4d.
First off, is a M1 Bazooka, along with its ammunition, carry case.
Then come a picture of WWII era Pineapple grenades, and finally, together with the sten gun from
previous posts. This is my second, and third succesful attempts at creating my own textures and I am pretty pleased with the results.

Tell me what you think.

Cheers!

The bazooka isn't very accurate. What you're looking for is something like this: http://www.geocities.com/Augusta/8172/panzerfaust13.htm
For instance, it has two handles and the sights are completely different. I dunno if you can find any photos of it on Google.

As for the STEN, I mentioned it in the other thread.

Thanks for the reference. I only had 2 pictures of a bazooka to base this on, and the first was from a later model, and I had trouble finding accurate diagrams of it on google. Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it.

Pardon me for being a nitpicker, but I noticed a couple things.

If you can receive and use dxf files I'd be glad to send measured drawings of sten mark 2 parts. The Sten Magazines are of a tapered cross section, the front edge being thinner than the rear by an eighth of an inch or so. This fits the shape of the tapered round and casing a little better and presumably makes sure you don't stick it in backwards in the heat of battle.]

The front shield of the bazooka needs to be rotated 90 degrees cockwise from the viewer's point of view. Remember the weapon is laying on its side, and the view slot should be in a vertical orientation to allow for the up down arc or parabola the shot will take when being used. This will also shield the user's face better. Whether they had some kind of markings on the shield, I don't know, but suspect they did.

The remark about the sten sight is correct.

The whole setup reminds me of a guy I used to know's back bedroom... None of the stuff live however.

The buttplate for the T stock for the sten is a bit long also, and the holes oversized perhaps. Sometimes there was a third hole in the center, and it was crudely welded to the hollow tube from the rear. Sometimes there was no hole in the center and it was welded from the front.

Mills Bomb grenades would be appropriate here, as most of the equipment is British. Although the american pinapple is also okay. The Sten gun using 9mm ammo, which the americans didn't use typically. And the american's didn't use the sten as far as I know. The sten would also use captured german ammo of course, the british 9mm was not powerful enough to operate the so called schmisser machine gun's action.

The wire at the rear of the bazooka may also be a little small in diameter, and needs tobe larger as they had to make it strong enough to avoid someone sitting on it or bending it accidently.

Also, notice the front handle is almost parallel with the front edge of the box, using almost the same vanishing point. The early version of the bazooka, probably had a more primitive handle as shown, but almost perpendicular to the tube, making construction easier, not angled back quite as much.

Well done construction and detailing. Any comments are ment to be constructive, and in your best interest.
