Ejection to the right is typical, but you could definitely get away with having it on the other side.

I do suppose that since it is a machine gun fired mostly deployed, that it would be somewhat more convenient on the left, for feeding purposes, maybe.

[Valkiir]

did a machine gunny thingy pls give feedbacks
mk. 2
mk. 3

Your machine gunny thing is begging for a Lewis gun style pan magazine it would allow you to use a vertical injection dropping spent shells out the bottom of the gun whee you now have the magazine well....that and the fact I have a soft spot for the lewis gun

Nce work on the overall look of the guns, by the way.

As a matter of fact I was hoping on doing that with the Mk.3 In the future! Adding a 40-something round pan magazine on top would make it much more intriguing, and I will surely do that soon !

completed my 1890s WW1 era bolty

[Danubian Peoples]

Tried my hand at a WW1 era gun. It's name is the Gewehr mod. 1900. Send criticism.

EDIT: Also, here's a WW1 era tank, akin more to the FT-17 than the Mark 1 through 5 Lanships. It's about 2.15 meters tall. Once again, please send criticism.


EDIT again: Fixed the above tank's tracks so that they slant to the wheels. Also need a name. Maybe, Panzerwagen 1? The IRL A7V was called the Sturmpanzerwagen 1(armored assault vehicle) according to Wikipedia, and with this being smaller than the A7V by a significant margin I could just shave the Assault off and be left with Armored Vehicle 1.

Mildly hypocritical of me as I haven't posted a rifle in god knows how long, but -

i) Needs to be thinner; as it stands, this rifle is overly thicc
ii) stock could be a bit large, play around with the shape of the back half of the gun a bit, it seems a bit wonky
iii) Same applies to the magazine and the magazine housing, it looks like it needs some work
iv) trigger shaping is a tad odd
v) bayonet is rather small
vi) how do your sights work?

You have my full sympathy though, drawing rifles is hardddd

[Inggland]

Aww yeah! Have some Eterian Cold War soldiers and two jets!

Those jets are ripped

Hopefully it's better. Followed all of your advice.

going forward I'd like to do the coal cart, some rolling stock, etc
I don't know if I want to do another engine anytime soon because it's a lot of work

Omg, are you sixth circle from deviant art? I think you're stuff is really neat, particularly the thought you put behind them as well, like with your 70mm antiaircraft gun xD

I've perhaps spent too much time trying to come up with a concept of how such a thing might work.

[NeuroNet]

Ejection to the right is typical, but you could definitely get away with having it on the other side.

The way rounds eject is based on what handed shooter you are. Pull the trigger with your left on a right ejecting weapon and hot casings can burn through the uniform sleeve of your right arm, making you combat ineffective eventually. Best weapon design is to have an ambidextrous selection (open the extraction port on the side you pull the trigger from) so lefties and righties can fire the weapon without injury.

[NeuroNet]

What if you slapped four turbofans on a C130 transport?

Perhaps this is what it might look like, configured to fly as a two-point buddy tanker.

(The Samurai fighter depicted tanking from my "JC-1TT" is my own design.)

Love these vehicles! (Not my scale, but the detail is well done.)

I suggest a tweak just to the descriptions. If you're going to field wheeled APCs with a high suspension, may as well include that they have shaped MRAP hull bottoms. Two layers of protection if you have blast resistant seats already, and a shaped bottom could imply better amphibious ability for crossing rivers, essential for rapidly mobile light forces.

A quartet of JT8D-10s would probably be adequate for a turbofan Hercules tbh.

Would probably murder the range tho, need sweeping, and resemble a baby Starlifter than a jet powered Herc at the end. Straight wings and turbofans don't sit well together.

Fair enough. (OOC) I don't have a scale drawing of JT8D handy yet.
(IC) My engineers get drunk a lot and like slapping parts together, then praying it will still fly.

EDIT: Or... two of my BATs (Big a$$ turbofans) rather than four.

[Gallia-]

I mean, there are oodles of straight wing jet aircraft and swept wing turboprops, but C-141 started basically as a drunken bet on who could make Hercules jet powered first, and ended up with swept wings and four JT3s (and a much bigger wingspan to boot) by the end of it. Starlifter's strangest appearance is probably the manta ray-esque GL268 though, but he would be terribly difficult to reengine unfortunately.

I'm back, with a tank! Please do share criticisms regarding the vehicle. I'll be sure to try and edit. I'd also like some specifications (how fast, gun caliber, etc) as well as a name (Panzer something I suppose). And for reference, it's supposed to be from the 1930s.

Looks like the US Car, Combat, M3 without the sponson gun in the main hull. (It had a 75mm in the hull, with a 37mm and coax cal-50 in the turret.

If you're looking for a Panzer theme, it looks like it could manage 20-30 miles per hour on gasoline and the turret maybe a 37mm antitank gun or a 45mm caliber.

You could call it the PanzerSnail Model 1930. That way if it's really fast, it would scare the enemy.

"What's that, Sarge?"

"S-2 says the Jerries have this PanzerSnail thing. Like a rolling bunker."

"Must be slow as rubber dog $hit."

"Damn! Retreat! It's broken through the line and knocked out three Shermans!"

Thanks for the positive review, but, I took a second look at it and now I see oodles of problems with its design. the turret is absurdly small, the hull too big, the tracks too short, and a bunch of other proportion problems, especially at this 2 meter tall scale. I however did create another tank, this time one from the WW1 period.

Please do review, not sure if this is any better TBH. Also it has dimensions similar to the Reanult FT.

This is what I pictured with the first one, the Lee/Grant, forebear to the Sherman.

It looks like a variant of a Renault FT which might be considered conventional or near obsolete if still serving in the 1930's.
Riveted panels would be a prominent detail, since the "skin" of a tank of that era isn't generally welded yet. Thus it was a hodgepodge of bolted together smaller panels. Simply putting in some shapes for smaller panels and dark pixels for rivets around the panel edges would enhance the detail and give it the WWI feel.

Good luck with your drawings!

The hull design and internal layout of the twin-diesel, 45-knot fast patrol craft is used by NeuroNet military, police and coastwatch/rescue forces for coastal, littoral and riverine operations.



Pictured is the PCF Mark 1 configured for coastal search and rescue operations in the Federation CoastWatch. A rescue swimmer with cold weather immersion drysuit, protective helmet and rescue tether rig is on deck serving as a lookout.



Port Security PCF Mark 1 operated by the Eagle Point Port Authority Police Department. It carries as deck cargo two jetskis for the use of security police diver-patrolmen when inspecting ships entering the port or rescuing people in the water.



Naval Special Warfare Command PCF Mark 1 used as a "Swick" (SWCC) boat to insert VBSS teams and transport Navy SEALS on forward operations, painted for covert jungle waterway operations. A SEAL fireteam is on deck.

As for your statement regarding it's datedness, well the French did use them up until the Fall of France in 1940, the Vichy French used them in 1944, and they were even used by the Arabs in the Arab-Isareli War of 1948. but I'm not saying they were any good in any of those conflicts as tanks. So it could be a good idea to say that my military still usesd them during the '30s for roleplay reasons.
By the way here's where I'm getting this info from.
And as for your boat there, i like the look of it, but I'm no naval expert, so I'm not sure if the craft is sound.
