Thank you.
No, I'm not making new models.
Perhaps I am a creative crisis, possibly later do something else.

Спасибо.
Ваш Вальтер тоже очень хорош.
Если хотите совет - сам пистолет у вас даже избыточно обработан, но на столь спартанском фоне просто невозможно подать предмет так, чтобы было выигрышно. Отсутствие предметов, с которыми модель взаимодействует прилекает все внимание к самой модели и нивелирует ее качество.
Все то же самое - но в более развитом и активном окружении заиграло бы намного интереснее.
Может быть, вам будет интересно посмотреть мои уроки по визуализации, я там поясняю все это более подробно-

Ликбез пропускайте, а рассуждения о организации композиции и светотени - надеюсь вас заинтересуют.
С уваженим Владимир.

Уже смотрю, огромное вам спасибо за урок и за совет! Обязательно воспользуюсь новыми знаниями как только снова буду делать оружие, надеюсь, это будет в ближайшее время.
Еще раз спасибо.
С уважением,

I've always been curious about firearms laws in Russia. What are Russian citizens allowed to own and what are the restrictions?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
VladiT In reply to karoken [2009-05-19 13:03:47 +0000 UTC]
In Russia shot-guns, rifles, sniper rifles of any range, semi-automatic carbines are resolved.
Reception of the permission is not more difficult than reception of a driving licence, it is forbidden to have the weapon only mentally sick.
Pistols (the weapon less than 80 sm in length) and the automatic army weapon are not resolved for civil possession.

karoken In reply to VladiT [2009-05-25 02:26:52 +0000 UTC]
I had always imagined that the laws regarding firearms in Russia would have been severely restricted. What firearms do you own?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
VladiT In reply to karoken [2009-05-25 07:59:48 +0000 UTC]
I have 2 shotguns -
American Remington 870 pump, and Russian semi-auto Sajga.
And four gasguns - Makarov, Nagant, PSM (russian chief's pistol) and Arminius (S&W copy) chief-special revolver.
In Russia there is a restriction - it is possible to have only 5 units of the weapon of each type - 5 shot-guns, 5 rifles, 5 gasguns or rubber-bullet pistols.
If it would be desirable more - that it is necessary to issue the licence of the collector, and for this purpose to establish in the house electronic system of safety from robbers.
And still - rifles can be bought only after 5 years of possession of a shot-gun, it is unpleasant.
Very expensive cartridges - sometimes 1 cartridge costs 1 dollar (!!!).
The most important and unpleasant - Russian people do not love the weapon and are not interested in it.
For example, in Moscow - only 27 weapon shops (on 15000000 people).
And very few people comes into these shops, many are ruined.
It is not enough shooting galleries and shooting ranges, to shoot for entertainment there is no place.
And it - not interdictions of the government, and unwillingness of people to deal with the weapon.
At us it is a lot of hunters - and all weapon business is focused on them.
And it is simple entertainments with the weapon for the city dweller - a problem. It is not enough shooting galleries and it is very expensive, it is not a business in Russia.

karoken In reply to VladiT [2009-05-26 02:50:24 +0000 UTC]
Are such restrictions in place because the people are not interested in owning firearms or is the Russian Government not in favor of allowing so many people to become armed easily?
Also which factory was your Nagant produced?

Last time when I heard how politicians used a weapon theme - approximately 10 years ago.
No, a weapon question in Russia - not political, the government now pragmatic also does not interfere with weapon distribution.
But simultaneously - nobody lobbies this question.
For example, there, where I work - one person from 100 is capable to distinguish a pistol from a revolver or a rifle from a shot-gun.
I know that in Moscow for entertainment no more than 1000-1500 persons who even are available shooting galleries and shooting ranges constantly shoot are unoccupied.
Many want legalisation of pistols - but on polls is available furious resistance of the majority of people to pistols, all are afraid.
No, it not government restriction, this absence of lobbying of the weapon and unwillingness of businessmen to be engaged in weapon business.
Businessmen now are interested in oil and gas, the automobile market more.
There very big profits now.
My Nagant is made in 1944 on IZHMASH factory (now - made all Kalashnicov systems)
[link] and altered for sale as a gas-rubber bullets revolver '38 cal.
At us now a lot of the old weapon of the 2WW is on sale as altered for gas shooting, or shooting by rubber bullets.
These are the present pistols, but on barrel at them - special terminators for shooting prevention by metal bullets.
They can shoot CS or PV cartridges, or cartridges with rubber bullets '38 or '45 cal.
Such bullet on distance of 2-3 m. approximately corresponds to bullet action ' 22LR calibres with 2 inch barrel.

Do you think that the people will ever become more interested? Thats sad that Russia is the way it is regarding firearms. Of course its better than Great Britain where they outlaw most firearms.

VladiT In reply to karoken [2009-05-28 20:39:37 +0000 UTC]
10 years ago, when at us was not so easy (Russian mafia, you know) - the weapon could interest people.
Now - in streets easy, it is a lot of police, there is a sensation of safety.
By the way, in Russia there are regions where the weapon is accessible.
You know about difficult events in the Chechen Republic or near to Georgia.
And there almost everyone has also Kalashnikov's automatic machine, and at many - even machine guns and pomegranates.
The government does not interfere with people arms there. These regions are localised, and the weapon therefrom does not get almost to the centre of Russia.
In Siberia where it is a lot of hunters - even children go with rifles, and it nobody disturbs.
There there is a necessity for the weapon - wild animals, for example.
And there very liberally concern the weapon.
And in the centre of Russia, in cities, the weapon could be fine entertainment - for this purpose it is necessary to put up money in development of an infrastructure for shooting.
But anybody does not wish to do it. Too small profits, it is interesting to nobody.
We have a huge industrial complex on weapon manufacture - fine factories which do Kalashnikov's weapon, for example.
But it is more favourable to them to lobby the huge order for Hugo Chavez or other dictator.
And to sell the weapon to the whole states - at a guarantee of good money.
And to sell the weapon to private persons it it is unprofitable, they monopolists.
They will more possibly put up money in destruction of the competitor, than in private trade development.
Here such situation:
1 - there is no great interest at people to the weapon.
2 - nobody wishes to develop this interest and to put up money.
3 - the huge state weapon industry does not allow to develop to small competitors, using lobbying in the government.
Wishing to open weapon manufacture or trade - should pay huge taxes, and it will be ruined even prior to the beginning of trade.
It - not fear of the government before people arms (the government of Russia already is not afraid of people) - but this influence of monopolists - manufacturers of the weapon.
Monopolists do not wish to trade in small parties of the weapon - but also will not allow to anybody it to do.

So pretty much the heavily populated areas in the center of Russia feel no need for weapons because they are safe and have no reason to own them? That is an interesting development. I have always wanted to travel to Russia and experience some of their weaponry since there is a lack of current Russian hardware here in America.

VladiT In reply to karoken [2009-05-29 08:20:09 +0000 UTC]
Yes, now the weapon - is not necessary for safety.
Look:
In villages in each house there is a shot-gun or a rifle. But there - the patriarchal life, and is few hooligans and robbers. All people are familiar with each other and know that police far, and a rifle - in hands. Police - too it is frequent relatives with arrows, therefore self-defence seldom reaches court, the corpse of the robber "will disappear" in the nearest wood.
In cities - the majority of people live in very big houses where it is a lot of apartments, instead of in separate buildings.
For example, I live on 8 floor of the huge house, where 300 more apartments.
Who can attack my apartment?
Only the climber on a cord from a roof, it is unreal.
Very strong doors, house walls - thick concrete, is necessary dynamite to break.
Below on an input - an electronic lock on a steel door, at first it is necessary to blow up it, then - the gatekeeper, in many houses - an armed security forces and video observation.
In Moscow where I live - approximately in 100-200 metres always there is a policeman or a little.
There is no sense to shoot, to call police easier.
Certainly, I would like to have houses a pistol - but it not vital necessity, I never would carry it with myself in a city.
I consider as the big nonsense that it is possible to have a shot-gun which is more powerful than a pistol - but it is impossible to have a pistol.
But I am a fan of the weapon, I simply wish to have a collection, for example.
As philosophy = I am assured that the man without the weapon, this same that the woman without cosmetics
But very few people from my friends agrees with me.
About the Russian weapon:
If you arrive to Russia simply as the private person - you cannot find a place where it is possible to test the different weapon.
Officially - you can shoot only from a shot-gun or a rifle in commercial shooting galleries.
But at us many privately visit the nearest military base, where always it is possible for money (but big) to do some shooting from any weapon.
It - not crime, it is lawful. But it is not advertised, because the narrow circle of friends there shoots and all know each other, there do not love beginners.
It is necessary to have the friend who knows such place.
I know that it is a lot of foreigners with the great pleasure visits such places.
There it is possible not only to shoot - but also to drive the tank, for example. Or even to do some flying the passenger by the military plane.
I repeat -is it is not criminal, it is lawful - but is not advertised at every turn.
And it is final, it is very expensive, it is calculated on extraction of money from rich foreigners.
For example, flight on MIG-29 or SU-27 as costs to the passenger it seems 2000$-5000$ in an hour, or even it is more.
To do some shooting from a machine gun it it is probable, 200&-300&, i don't know exact.
All it is possible - but it is necessary to agree to a trip to WEB or privately, to find the friend whom all will organise, or travel company with such specialisation.

Wow, Russia is totally different from what I thought. For some reason I thought it was very strictly regulated for firearms and that it wasn't very safe but it sounds safer than a lot of places in the US. And I'm very surprised about the Military allowing people to use their equipment although that seems like an easy and legitimate way to earn money for the state.

It is necessary to consider that to me of 49 years, I do not drink alcohol and I do not go to youth clubs
I live on suburb of Moscow in silent sleeping area.
Sometimes in newspapers write about serious crimes, for example, robberies of banks.
Has very much upset Russian a case with our policeman who has shot of three persons recently.
If it did not protect - would be "Lynch's court".

I think, Moscow now - the same that Rome or Paris, is a usual European city.
I now am am disturbed by ecology of Moscow, instead of criminality more, I and my friends never faced criminality and did not see any criminal. Only on TV.
And air in Moscow now - awful.
Idiots have bought millions cars, and in a city became very dirty - here a problem, it influences our health.
By the way - I have casually found the link to military tourism in Russia -

Wow I checked out those links and they are amazing. In a few years when I can stow away some extra cash that is what I will spend it on! I think after I graduate college I will try and take a 3 week tour of Russia. I'm very interested in learning its history, especially the World War 2 ear. I would really like to go see Lenin as well if I can.

I thought that Lenin's mausoleum is closed for a long time for visitors.
But has now checked up in the WEB - is not present, visiting is possible.
But not every day, you should check up in the WEB when it is possible-

Yes. I've always had a thing for vodka and Kalashnikov's but that's what everyone loves about Russia. I want to see some Russian architecture, walk through red square and maybe hike in some of the uninhabited places of Russia, but I wanted to see the things that local's thing everyone should see.

Do you actually work in 3D or use the Free models you can find around the web, very very nice renders... though i would be much much more impressed if you modeled the weapons. Check out some of my models if you like

Thanks.
If I have correctly understood your question -
I do the majority of the models.
At first in Inventor, then - render on Max.
Sometimes I do renders from skeletons of other authors if it is interesting to me.
I have looked your works - they very good.

It might be worth stating that you made the models, i think i get where your coming from... (is the 1911 A1 yours?) because if it is - it is not credited to yourself - it is credited to the software, which is disguising 90% of the talent involved in producing the work
