Hey there Folks!

So I gave up on IED Boris and swapped him out for Sniper Rifle Boris....maybe I'll try a suicide-vest boris later. Anyway....which Sniper Boris target do you like best? Why?

I like better how the hand/glove definition turned out in option A, however I like the scope definition better in B. I've been playing forever with my reference files to try and marry the two together, but this is as close as I've gotten. I voted for A as I think the hand definition is more important. I might walk away for a bit and have another go later. Also, I think I might ditch the crosshairs in A. They seem a bit cheesy to me and the wife definitely thinks they're lame. I like the grenades for their utility as additional aiming points for ad-hawk precision rifle loony/toony matches with your buddies and their black rifles - they also provide some continuity across the series.

Here's the whole suite as it would look for the league:

For those who are wondering "what is Boris?", I wrote up a description of what I'm driving towards in this thread: http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/foru...n-II-which-do-you-like-better&highlight=Boris

Thanks for your feedback!

Cheers,

Haha, this Boris guy is funny, no matter where he is or what he is doing, he always has a couple of random grenades sitting near by out in the open.
 
Hey there...

I wish i would have written the poll questions better! For those voting for option B, what is it you like better? Is it the aspect ratio of the gun? The lack of his goofy grenades? No crosshairs?

Thanks,

Brobee
 
I would like to see the grenades go and the crosshairs stay. Grenades look goofy but I would aim for the crosshairs for a classic movie sniper kill.

Just my 2 cents, which apparently gets rounded up with the penny being phased out.

The better question is. When are these gonna be available!?

v1 and v2 have had limited production prototype runs done. v3 is at the fabricator right now. v4 will be next month, then I'll get out to the range with them all to come up with the courses-of-fire for the league. I'm working on the website now, but will need the match descriptions before uploading. Then a discussion with CGN management to iron out whatever site sponsor details are required, and then I'll make them available for general sale. I have very limited quantities of the prototype versions....but truth be told I'd love to start selling them right away. I just don't want to get offside with site admin as I'm not a sponsoring dealer. Maybe I'll try approaching them earlier than planned and see what they say, but I kinda need to save my cash to get the rest of the series fabricated.

Hopefully soon!
