Mongo Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Well thanks to a member over on 1919A4.com I got hold of the entire set of drawings for the original 1918 BAR. I have finally finished modeling the entire gun in Solidworks. I've been done with it for a while except the stocks which as usual turned out to be a colossal pain in the ass.Well here are the final results.http://home.comcast.net/~sfischer397/pictures/BAR/1918-BAR-complete-1.JPGhttp://home.comcast.net/~sfischer397/pictures/BAR/1918-BAR-complete-2.JPGhttp://home.comcast.net/~sfischer397/pictures/BAR/1918-BAR-complete-3.JPGhttp://home.comcast.net/~sfischer397/pictures/BAR/1918-BAR-complete-4.JPGhttp://home.comcast.net/~sfischer397/pictures/BAR/1918-BAR-complete-5.JPGhttp://home.comcast.net/~sfischer397/pictures/BAR/1918-BAR-complete-6.JPGhttp://home.comcast.net/~sfischer397/pictures/BAR/1918-BAR-complete-7.JPGhttp://home.comcast.net/~sfischer397/pictures/BAR/1918-BAR-complete-8.JPG http://home.comcast.net/~sfischer397/pictures/BAR/1918-BAR-complete-9.JPG Here is a video from around the WW1 time frame of them making the 1918 BAR. The video actually helped me figure out some things when modeling the stocks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Is it possible for you to make these renderings move and make a video? Something like these here: http://www.youtube.com/user/vbbsmyt/videos?view=0&flow=list&sort=dd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mongo Posted November 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Still fiddling with this sucker to generate a cutaway that I like and then try to use it for animation. Also trying to get the finish down so when it renders like in the last image it looks like blueing.http://home.comcast.net/~sfischer397/pictures/BAR/US-BAR-cutaway-1.JPGhttp://home.comcast.net/~sfischer397/pictures/BAR/US-BAR-cutaway-2.JPGhttp://home.comcast.net/~sfischer397/pictures/BAR/US-BAR-cutaway-3.JPGhttp://home.comcast.net/~sfischer397/pictures/BAR/US-BAR-cutaway-4.JPGhttp://home.comcast.net/~sfischer397/pictures/BAR/US-BAR-cutaway-5.JPG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
