[Thumper1518]

Hello GR.net! I am returning to modding - at least long enough to create an updated version of my 7.62mm Mod. There have been a lot of new 7.62mm weapons systems fielded recently that I thought deserved modelling and addition to my mod.

So far, I hve completed the SCAR-H models (Mk17 versions), including the standard, CQC, and a DMR version based on the semi-auto 20" barrel version. The standard and CQC each have versions including SD and the GL40-H. The DMR has only an SD version besides the original. There are 10 models in all.

I intend to add the M110 SASS, AR10 SSASS, LWRC REPR, HK417, DSA SA58SPR, DPMS LRT-SASS/REPR/Mk12 models, and upgrade the Troy modified M14 models, based on the USMC DMR.

I don't have a website to post pictures to, so when I figure out how to do that, I'll be adding images to this thread.

Keep checking on this thread, I'll post every few days.

Hey hey, Welcome back

Looking good


v2.0 is the highest downloaded in the "weapon mod" category here (currently at 15,257 downloads)
and is a great mod (I've still got it in my mods folder and it and standard upgrade are among the elite few mods that don't get rotated out to make way for other mods)

cant wait to see what v3 is like

Damn mate...now that's a blast from the past! Long time no see!
Was starting to think you had dropped off the face of the earth when the SWEBAT team disintegrated, good to know you are still around bro!

Nice looking models there too mate Ought to add in the Mk17 SSR aswell though to make the 7.62 list complete for the SCAR's


And let me know if you need online storage for renders or beta's, I've got more space than what I can possibly use and be happy to set up an FTP for you to use.

OMG Snow! It is great to hear from you again!!! IRL got too busy and my work blocks all gaming sites. I stil have the SWEBAT models, though. I might use one or two from the project.

Tell me about it mate. In the last few years I've gone from hired muscle to running the dayshift dispatch side of the warehouse I work at, so work now is more stress and headaches than strain and backache.
Plus having lately gone from renting to house owner most of my free time is taken up with getting the house set up the way I want it to be.

Wow how did I miss this news! Can't wait to see this finished version

[Thumper1518]

Been working on some more things, mostly re-sizing the scale of certain models to bring everything together. Other things were just re-done because I was not happy with the original model anymore.

Here's an updated set of DSA SA58's, including (top to bottom): SPR, carbine, 20" Bull (20rd mag), 20" Bull (30rd mag)


and a set of HK417s, including (top to bottom): 20", 12" and 16" versions


and an updated set of USMC M14 mods: M14 EMR and M14 EBR


-Cheers!

Nice!

ditto Thumper...

Just an update:

Have been re-scaling models to (what I believe to be) a more accurate measure.

Certain weapons will be dropped, others upgraded, and of course the new ones added. I don't have as much time as I thought I would, so certain new 7.62mm weps will not end up being represented, mostly because they represent only slight variations from ones already in the mod. My research into them tuned up a lot of information to that effect. It's like how many variants on the M16 there are. I want to model the more different than similar systems.

I still hope you 7.62mm Mod fans will like this upgrade, I know the game itself is dated, but I still enjoy it.

And to think, all this started because I wanted to add the FN SCAR-H.

Things have sure changed. I remember when this string got tons of views. But for the die-hard old-schoolers like me, I give you the Rock River Arms LAR-8, in five versions:
(top to bottom) LAR8 Operator Elite, LAR8 REPR, LAR8 SMR, LAR8 Standard, LAR8 Carbine


Also, each of the top three will also have an -SD version.
Sorry the picture is so blurry, I'll try for a better one later.
Still got lots of work to do. I'm thinking of removing the handguns, but that's only my preference since I never use them. Any of you guys have any thoughts on that?

Update piccy please.

We tend to use pistol as backup when running as a sniper, so for us, please keep them.
