This is V1.0. I made it smaller than V0.99, and moved it a little due to a clipping issue.

Impressive dude ... very interesing

 

as I havent seen District9 I can't state opinion about how accurate is this job e-var, nevertheless I'm gonna use it for sure ...

 

you know, maybe it's a little 'coloured' for a mandalorian weapon, I hardly imagine mandalorians being so fancy with those white-orange pistols firing on the jedi, it wouldn't be much 'stealthy' if u ask me ...

 

That said, I tinkered a little and finally replaced the Zabrak heavy Pistol instead of the mandalorian. For some reason I think zabraks are more likely to be producing this kind of stuff. As far as I've tried apparently the Zabrak heavy pistol is the only model replaced by w_HvyBlstr_005 model.

 

For those who think like me, just rename the 2 model files (mdx/mdl) and the icon (iw_HvyBlstr_004.tga) to '005' at the end instead of '004' and voilá. 'Fancy' Zabrak heavy pistols for everyone.

 

keep up the awesome work!

I picked the Mandalorian Heavy Blaster since this model lends itself to easy color matching. Once I'm sure that there are no bugs, I'm going to release additional variants that are matched to the Mandalorians:

 

 

The tricky part will be getting the Mandalorians in the game to use the correct versions.
