So not back when $20 was worth $20. Got it.

This is a design that I've kept returning to and never quite got it settled. But this time! This time it's gonna be right. Draft shown - I'll add in the other half, plus something special for size comparison, and make it all tidy and stuff.

Export frigate, for those particularly inclined.

Very nice.

Very spoopy indeed

Aloha. It's been quite a while since I cared to post here, and I was almost worried it was dead! Used to post under Torsiedelle, anyways, but I digress.

Anyways, time to post something I've shown on Discord, but not on NS proper. First dump are uniform designs for a puppet of mine, with a Late Steampunk/Early Dieselpunk WWI aesthetic. Not entirely original content, but something I've still heavily worked on to give it my own unique look.

Two uniforms for the nation's soldiers, going for a French/Italian look. I also really dig blue and white together, and dark browns.



And here are a Male and Female uniform comparison. Yeah, the nation has Female enlistment...

Now, with those done, here's something that I've worked on from scratch, with the help and suggestions of some NS buddies on Discord. It's essentially a mashup of a Berthier, Carcano, and Mauser, made into a carbine/service rifle for the same nation. I'm quite happy with the way it looks now, though I'm not quite ready to take it out of the "WIP" phase.

I like it, but the bayonet could maybe use a little more work. Was also considering a Swedish-style bayonet at the suggestion by another NS'er, or a Spike Bayonet because I just like spike bayonets. I don't really know. Anyways, the rifle itself seems fine to me, even if the bayonet seems a bit off.

Love the uniforms, and the rifle is fairly appealing. It's a bit short, though: suitable for a carbine, but disproportionate when scaled against the rifles carried by your figures.

Yeah, it's a carbine. Had a longer Rifle done, but I sort of focused on just the Carbine, and forgot about the full-sized one.

I like Carbines more, anyways, so yeah.

Also, newer weapon I worked on today, for tank and artillery crews.



EDIT: Aaaand lengthened the front half of the rifle just a bit to stand out from the Carbine.

man I don't know what it is about german planes, but they look so unwieldy

[Tippercommon]

Drew my first tank because I had a big Leopard/Kpz 70 boner last night

Idk how you people derive joy from drawing tracks

[Tippercommon]

Elevated the chassis to make room for a not-as-dumb driver compartment.

>no driver in turret

how will you volume optimize

Idk why people keep complaining about drawing tracks. It's not hard at all. All you do is draw one link and than copy it around.

Idk why people keep complaining about drawing tracks. It's not hard at all. All you do is draw one link and than copy it around.

If you aren't drawing with vectors then the difficulty has always been getting the angled/curved section right, and getting the track links to line up properly at the end without overlapping or leaving gaps. If you are drawing with vectors this is somewhat easier since you can rotate segments without them getting too blurred, but usually at such small scales things may go wrong even with a vector.

It's not that it's particularly hard; it's that it's the most tedious thing in existence.

I have personally found that you can easily have as much as a couple links worth of mistake without issue. You just have to spread the stretch out equally over a number of links to hide it.

Tracks are even worse than the devil's lettuce

Hang all tracks

[Iltica]

What's a vector?
