So the FN P90 is basically one of my favorite guns, so I got to thinking what could make it cooler and I came up with this.


A FN P90 with a Grenade Launcher AND E-bomb (ok, I have no idea what the art actually is, but it looked cool!).

mm... That wasn't a folding stock I used. Maybe it did look that way to you but I assure you it isn't. You're right, the rear sight is a wee bit too far back though.

Aiming the weapon's going to be a real pain considering the grenade launcher you've got on top...

All right, if this is the direction things are going:

A heavily up-sized/modernized Tommy Gun:



And here's a primary battle rifle:


And heck, I'm on a role:


And on to something a bit different:
The Solstice Fighter, the worlds only retractable landing gear, contra-rotating sea plane:



And when things progressed more, MiG decided that 1 engine just wasn't enough...


And of course, the "Ratte Catcher":


And we can't forget Stalin's Inter-War wet Dream...


Eat your heart out, Dreadnought!


And finally, we have "The Bug Swatter":

The point I was making was that the M16 action has a big butt. Thats why the colapsable stock on th M4 cabine only colapses by a few of inches. Move the triger group infront of the magazine and you dont have a more compact weapon just an awkwardly placed triger and grip. So most bullpup rifles have the return spring in the gas tube.

Did I not say it was just a P 90 with a grenade launcher and optical sight (now that I know what it is)?

It looks like an FN F2000 with... something sticking out its optical sight. It is not a P90.

Yeah, I tend to sort of use the same name for both of those, you're right though.

Nice concepts, all of them are quite interesting. Is there any possibility you could make some Dreadnoughts (or pre dradnought ships) for the platinean navy?

Thanks!

As to a ship... likely, what did you have in mind? I'm working on a catamaran-Iowa class-aviation cruiser.

Shurik: I'm looking for some ships for the platinean navy between the american civil war and the first world war (1860-1918), with Monitors and all sorts of Ironclads. Especially focusing on the years 1890-1910 with their pre-dreadnought cruisers.

Here I present to you the work in progress version of the "Liberator-Class" Protected Cruiser (/Ironclad/Turret ship). There are a lot of things still missing like doors, scuttles, bitts etc. And as I'm really bad at shading I would be grateful if anyone could help me.

Armament:
4 12" (30cm) guns. 2 per turret to the fore and aft.
20 8" (20cm) guns. 2 in 10 turrets, 5 on starboard and 5 on portside.



*Shurik I hope you don't mind that I've used your guns.

Given that your ship is 50 years ahead of mine... yes. I'll be you would have.

But I've got something that would beat that...



And I'm not going to tell you why.

Good heavens, they're not "my guns" per-say. You can get all the parts you need from shipbucket.com.
And quite honestly, I know next to nothing about vessel WWII/Pre-WWII, so I don't now how much help I'd be. Still, what were you looking for? Shading and adding details such as doors, etc?
