Gren's new War Machine

[freegentile]

I've seen it mentioned several times, but I'll be dipped if I can find it anywhere. I do have a "war_machine_t" mesh that shows the following info, but readme says the base model is Tommyboy's w/ some tweaks from other Gren meshes, but not specifically Gren's...just thought I'd see if this is truly the newest one:

" War_machine_t mesh for Irrational's excellent Freedom Force game by tommyboy.

Inspired by the War_machine Hexx by/from MDIA, I decided that if Iron Man can have 9 meshes,War Machine deserves at least one(I know, there are already three;MDIA's hex,Q3biker_warmachine by 3dmaster,War_Machine_test by unknown,i mean a custom made mesh,not a hex,and a finished one,which as far as I know the latter two weren't.)

tweaked version of Grenadier's Heimdall mesh, with extra bits from Grenadier's Checkmate commando,Terrax,High_Evolutionary,Cable,Crossbones meshes.and some bits by me(shoulders,gloves,boots,anything with '_ring' in the name).

Uses  War_machine_t keyframes(which are simply Grenadier's Cable Keyframes with added bits for his vatious weapons),you may well be able to use other keyframes with the mesh(ie the 'standard' cable kf),but don't expect the weapons to be animated.

Skins;
  standard by tommyboy(from C6 skinbase,head stolen and kitbashed from C6's Iron Man MK5 skin)

Permission is given to use this mesh in mods,Hexx it,reskin it, etc., but you should seriously consider calling him 'armed conflict device' or 'police action gizmo', lest Stan Lee hunt you down like a dog.

Known problems and issues,and explanations;
I based this mesh on the pictures in Avengers Anniversary Magazine(Nov 1993),and various West Coast Avengers comics,and even within them there are several versions of the War Machine armour(ie with/without scope on head,differing weapons on back/arms etc),so I have made 'A' version,not a 'definitive'version.You could Hexx edit other versions from this mesh(there are several helmets,shoulderpads,kneepads,boots,gloves hidden),possibly a few Ironman versions too.
There are a lot of 'bits' to the mesh,which increases the size,polycount and complexity of skinning him.I suppose I could have made a far simpler version,which to me would have been yet another Iron Man(which of course strictly speaking War Machine IS),but I wanted one with  guns and stuff.Sorry.
