Who needs photoshop, gary's mod or any other expensive program that costs money? I DID THIS ALL FOR FREE! Cower in my awesomeness!Programs used:The GIMPSource SDK's Model ViewerTeam Fortress 2BlenderAlright, seeing this contest, i was compleatly thrilled! I drew up a load of plans and i'm getting started. Well, I've gotten to work on the first item. Not too shabby. I started off with Spy, theme, French Revolutionist, but I was finding it hard to stay with in the rules(have a theme), so I switched classes early on to Sniper, Outback Aussie. My Spy item will be finished and turned in on the hopes it will make it in a Community Update.A little about me: i'm a new but dedicated fan of Team Fortress, I bought the game back in Feburary and convinced about 4 or five of my friends to buy it too. My favorite two classes are sniper and scout, and the third changes between the other characters. Other favorite games include Metal Gear Solid, SSBB, Legend of Zelda and Mario. Im a practicer of all arts. I write, I draw, I paint, I sculpt, I've even made a few plushies. About a month ago, I got Blender. Now, I've only had two items of practice before this contest, but I will try my best!
Any tips or tricks would be welcome for a beginner along with and other adivice you might want to give.

Oh, man... when I read 'Edgy Gentleman's Neckwear', I groaned in pain. It suits him, though.
My friend's just begging me to make the dang thing replace her stupid camerabeard. What a fan girl she is.
either its going to be french revolution or Spy movie...
under french i have
Rapier,
knifegun(youll see)
some sort of muskety pistol
and teh cravat
under spy movie i have
keyring gun( it will look like a lighter or something)
Perhaps a death ray....
maybe a planted pen bomb...
Shady looking shades...(as in sun glasses probably a dark hat included)
Also I think the melee weapon you have would be a katar.
Hey guys - guys - I just thought of something.
You could make the theme Royal Rogue. Lots of potential there (Crown hat? jewel encrusted gold watch?).
It also fits most of your ideas for the French revolution theme.

Still need help with picking the knifes( bowman's bowie) , the curved handles have some appeal already, and i think ill make the coffee as a jarate replacement. id love to do a crossbow but i dont know if thatll work seeing as this is a reskin, not a totally new weapon..(altough it would basicly be a rifle with a bow on the end) Im thinging of a rifle with 2 zoom settings, along the lines of Longshot (a 3X zoom and a 10x zoom) bolt action rifle. It most likly will be black to put contrast between it and the regualr rifle.
I am making new models, and they've gotta work with the old animations because I can't do customs yet.
models are more then a re-skin...
Blade profiles for Sniper's Bowman's Bowie knife.
Most are actually base offa real australian hunting knives, 4 is based of the kukri, and 5 down are kinda made up although 6 is based offa the combat/survival knife of the 60s.
If you like the nicks or holes or serrations on one, you can put em on another blade.
Pick your top three please^_^
