I was going to request this to FZE in private, but I figured I could just make a thread about it, so... I did.

I need a model of the Romanian Armed Force's main assault rifle, the Puşcă Automată model 1986 (Wikipedia link), also known as the AIMS-74.

From what I learned in Wikipedia and another site, it's a rifle based off the AK-74 (the younger, handsome sibling of the AK-47, FYI), designed by and fabricated in Romania.
The moment I noticed it saying it's based off the AK-74, I planned on simply getting a model from garrysmod.org and reskinning it, but, as you'll notice, the designs are actually pretty different:

This is the AK...

... and this is the AIMS.

I would really appreciate a detailed rifle model for use in comics. Emphasis on "detailed", because I tend to do a lot of close-ups in comics, and it would help if I showed the gun in all its splendor.
Also, FZE, despite what I've told you about being a skinner, I can't skin guns. So far I've only done reskins, and every time I try to do something new it ends up like shit, so it'd be really cool if you could get the skin done, too.

If you're not much into making a rifle from scratch, you can always pick one of the existing AK-74 models and modify it to include the AIMS's characteristics, as they're pretty similar. Otherwise, if you want a challenge, go for it. :D

Can i has gun plz? :( :(

More reference pictures, plus a site detailing the gun and its history:

Do you want the Anti-Posing Device on it?

Well, noclip works around it in the same sense attaching the battery of a '94 Chrysler LHS to the leads of your '95 Volvo 850 by way of 8-foot jumper cables stuffed under your hood works around not having a proper battery, I suppose.

Wait, that came out wrong. Point being I never put stocks on guns because they'll just end up sticking through someone's arm and looking ridiculous to anyone who examines the comic hard enough.

Maybe that's just me.

Anyway, 3 things!

1. Do you want the stock folded or extended?
2. This will be as accurate a representation as I can manage - this does not mean it will be accurate, or even good. My references come primarily from the AKS-74, which appears identical in all respects that are not immediately obvious from your reference pictures.
3. This model may well eat polygons like no other, I cannot say until all the Booleans and ProCuts are done.
4. The texture may also end up terrible.

That's 4 things.

5. I just got S.T.A.L.K.E.R. so timeframe nyeeeeeerm screeech boom

5 things.

Alright, then screw the stock, I guess.

And man, anything you can do is already better than enough. Thanks a bunch!

I mean if you want the stock it's no problem at all to put it on, I'm just saying that my guns are almost always stock-free because of the inconvenience they cause me in posing.

Yeah, I understand. I'd rather go with the modeller's advice on this one. :D

All right, a day and a half's work, but I finally got it done.

Part 1 of the Pa Md. 86 rifle:

The exterior hammer, in all its high-detail glory.

GASP! :O

So you didn't take my suggestion of altering existing AK-74 models?

I would have, but for that I would need a working Model Decompiler, and for that I would need there to be a single competent employee at Valve who doesn't sit around thinking of ways to break the SDK further with each passing update.
