Hello everyone!

First time poster, first time modeller...

My choosen class is the Heavy, and i am making a primary, a secondary and a melee weapon for the big guy. The theme is easy as pie: Doubled (you will understand, if you check the weapons)

- Primary weapon: Dasha (Thanks eXistenZ)
The Dasha is a minigun, with two multi-barrels which are rotating contrariwise to bring more stability when fired.
Here a little animation for you, presenting only the multi-barrels:

This animation is very old (was made on Sunday :P), and the looks of the barrels changed since a little bit, but basically it is the same.

- Seconady weapon: No given name yet
This is a replacement for the shotgun, and i have a SxS double-barreled shotgun in my mind. Imagine two very long barrels, a very wide gun-stock and special, custom made shotgun slugs.

- Melee weapon: No give name yet
I will make a power fist to replace the KGB, if you are familiar with Fallout 3, that you may know what i have in my mind. Why will it fit the "doubled" theme? I do not know yet, but i will figure it out
The powerfist would be something like this, but without the mechanical fist:

Please share your thoughts about my ideas, thank you.

Yippi! Finally i got my thread! Thank you! ^^

In the meantime i finished with the model for the primary weapon replace, please check the renders from them:





I also put up a small animation from the spinning barrels:

Any comments are welcome.

Thank you.

Psyke

i'd give it some more detail, you've got alot spare to work with!

jgoodroad

I would like to see what you can conjure up with that shotgun idea...
my guess is your theme is something along the lines of "two are better then one"?

Gab

Psyke
Yes, more details will come ... i hope

jgoodroad
Your guess is true, i could not phrase it better myself

eXistenZ

I'm russian and "Dvasha" sounds veeeeery strange for me. Have mercy upon thousands russian tf players, call the machine gun with female russian name. "Dasha" would be cool.

Khthon

Dasha sounds good.

I love the animations.

Considered finding/making new gun firing sounds?

Maybe double the ammo canister on the bottom and have each of the spinning barrels have its own bandoleer of bullets feeding into it from its own ammo canister.

Pogo

Really cool theme, makes sense and looking good so far.
Time is of the essence now, I hope to see good progress!

Gab

Update! Some pictures from the shotgun replacement...

The upper shotgun is the version, which can be found in the game, below is my first version:


A little presentation (left side, top view, front side and a perspective view):


I think, i will not finish with all until Sunday

Gab

@eXistenZ
I changed the name, Dasha sounds very good

@Khthon
With two ammo canisters it would be very wide, and i tried to put bandoleers on the replacement, but i do not liked it. I do not like it on Natasha either

@Pogo
Thank you. But i think, i will not finish with it in time. (I never made textures yet, so it will be a challenge for me )

Khthon

The reason I suggested double ammo canisters was the whole idea of the minigun being doubled, so I thought that would be more visible from any angle/distance, the wide 2 canistered minigun.

Gab

@Khthon
I give it a try

Buck

Just to let you know you cant animate 2 barrels, i cant do it on my double minigun. Although you can try and leave it up for valve to do.

A small update on the shotgun replacement:


And i found a name for it: Bolshoi Boomstick
