Mossberg 590A1 Game Model

Here is a game resolution Mossberg 590A1 I recently finished.  As a fan of the Mossberg 500 series, I decided it would be cool to create the 500's thicker and heavier big brother.  Added a 6 shell side saddle for good measure along with a fiber optic front site.

School Props: Turntables 1 & 2

This is a collection of assets I made at Cole Engineering for a test scene to be placed in Unreal Engine 4.  I have gathered the assets I created (high and low resolution model, color/specular/normal textures) and placed them onto this turntable for demo reel/portfolio purposes.  All props are low poly with LOD's and were used in a real time walk through rendered with Unreal Engine 4.

You can view these assets in their natural environment in the video below.

I worked closely with the talented Justin Wildhorn and Sorob Raissi, you can see examples of this project as well as more of Justin's work here: http://www.justinwildhorn.com

Fishing Scene Turntable

This is a collection of assets I made at Cole Engineering for a test scene for a client.  I have gathered the assets I created (high and low resolution model, color/specular/normal textures) and placed them onto this turntable for demo reel/portfolio purposes.  All props are very low poly with LOD's and were used in a real time cut scene compiled in Unreal Engine 3.

You can view these assets in their natural environment in the video below.

Molon Labe Pin-Up

Been so busy with gun related art, I figured I'd do some pin-up goodness.  ...and what do you know, it turned out all kinds of gun related too!  Sorry, it just sort of...happened!  :P

In all actuality, I did this more to post up on Instagram.  I've been really enjoying the firearm community over there, please follow me and join in on the IG fun!  Molon labe and shit!!

Modern Spartan

There are a lot of 2nd Amendment related "Molon Labe" spartan helmet art works out there, so I was thinking, how can I do something with the spartan helmet I hadn't seen already.  So I thought to combine the classic steel mask from the spartan helmet and combining it with a current style military helmet often used by Special Forces.  This was done in a little less than 3 hours using Photoshop using digital paint with some photo-manipulation.

AR-15 Project: Update August 2014

A good friend of mine built me a Spike's Tactical AR lower last year with Spike's FDE Enhanced Parts Kit installed.  I have since picked up a Nickel Boron Bolt Carrier Group to match my Nickel Boron Battle Trigger.

The lower consists of:
- Spike's Tactical Spider (Bullet) Lower
- 6-Position Buffer Tube, Castle Nut, Staked Latch Plate
- 17-7 Stainless Buffer Spring
- ST-T2 Buffer
- Magpul CTR Stock (FDE)

Enhanced Parts Kit consists of:
- Spike's Billet Trigger Guard w/Set Screw
- KNS Gen II Mod II Anti-Rotation Pins
- Ergo Grip (FDE)
- ST Battle Trigger with Nickel Boron Coated Mil-Spec Single Stage Trigger, Disconnect, and Rounded         Hammer
- Ambi Safety Selector
- Mil-Spec Detents, Plungers, Pins and Springs
- Quality Spiral Roll Pins for Trigger Guard and Bolt Catch
- 1/4 Allen Screw with Washer for Grip

Bolt Carrier Group:
AIM AR/M16 .223/5.56 NiB BDG

At this time I have all the other parts picked out, but I have not yet purchased them.  I found with my Mossberg project that as time goes by, things sometimes change and adjust, so I'm not going to list the other parts till I actually lock them in.  More to come...

Mossberg 500 Project: Past, Future, Present

Mossberg Project gun is going real good!  Here is an update showing where I started, where I'm going and where I'm at.

The noticeable change between my last updates and this is the rail.  Rather then putting two separate rails, on over the receiver and one near the end of the barrel, I've decided to go with the Black Aces Tactical Quad Rail. It's a bit pricier, but it's going to look very sharp and a bit less thrown together.  I'm digging it a lot!

More updates to come!
