it might be pretty cool lookin if you cut the barrel to look like the dl-44 but leave ths stock on it, has anyone here seen for a few dollars more the western with clint eastwood??? well one of the charecters had a pistol with an attachable rife stock for more accuracy at a longer distnace. so like i said chop the mauser barrel leave ths stock n dress it u plike the dl-44. i dunno i think itd be prettty dang cool myself.

That's a good idea for the mauser. Probably a good idea to add something to the barrel, or just cover the whole barrel (aftering being cut) to look better, and kinda get the fett look.
It would be easier to get a poser model, but then again I'm still learning 3DS, and this gives me the chance to practice modeling in general, and I get extra credit :cheers

Finally an update! I'm making this part of my finals at school to justify doing it during class time :cheers
It's just a basic bucket right now, but without the ear peices. I'm not even sure if I'm going to make those for this one since this is going to be a custom. I will later though for fun. I still have to do UVW mapping on it (putting textures on it to look more realistic) but I thought I'd post my progress thus far:
EDIT::: Ok, I got two more images just for fun. I wanted to put a background on the pics above, but I made them .PNG's and so it didn't show up...Here's a pic of the helmet on the body with the background, plus just the background itself. Here's lookin' at ya!
The eye was original a 3DS template that came with the program, and I just modified it. The eye was just a normal brown, and the eye was less crazy and more white/opaque

With a risk of sounding like an idiot:
Wouldn't it be easier to just download a Poser program like DAZ, and then create armour models for it?
Hey, THIS is a good idea. I have DAZ|Studio, with a lot of people wich can be founded for freebie on the net (including M3, V3, Aiko3, Hiro, HIM, HER...) but there is a big problem: DAZ|Studio can only read Poser, DAZ and .obj files. He can't read the .3DS or .max files of 3D Studio, even not the .dxf. maybye 3D studio can export in .obj files, I don't know.
If anyone here knows how to include .DXF files in DAZ|Studio, PM me, please.
I'll turn those photos into links later when I'm at home not school.
I've got a color scheme set, and now I'm just working ahow to make it. I'm trying to think of something that's unique that can still end out to make this movie quality. I'm thinking of using this as the vest:http://cgi.ebay.com/Desert-Tan-Mari...042037943QQihZ019QQcategoryZ310QQcmdZViewItem
I'll experiment with this or some other similar vest no matter what, but my question is how to darken the fabric material. Would some sort of color die work? I may end up using the standard jango vest, but I'm just trying to be unique yet movie quality.
Here's my main color scheme, minus the little details:
Green jumpsuit, brown vest, grey armor...just look at my avatar to see since I'm pretty much basing it off of that. I don't now when I'll get updated pics up of the 3D model since I have another project going on, and I'm just doing this during break.

The IBV is pretty thick though you may be able to take out the padding inserts since its just a replica. You will most likely have some molle webbing showing since you will be attaching you armor to that. Dying wise Im not too certain. It probably would take it but Im not certain of the manufacturer so Im not certain on the fabric or quality.
