Pith helmet

[Deaths Jester]

Anyone know of a mesh with a pith helmet on it, preferablly one that can be skoped onto other meshes? I've gone thru my collection and came up empty...

Kenn's got a 'great white hunter' skope that has one at Alex's:

Daglob just told me about that fellow.

Thanks BG..that should work perfectly....now to decide if Jungle Jim should have a rifle or just a pistol...hmmm....

[BentonGrey]

If it helps any, a rifle would definitely be good, character design-wise, as most of the other characters have pistols.  That would allow me to make Jim a bit different and have an obvious visual reason for the design choice.

I'll try..can't promise anything but will try....

Big @$$ rifle.

[BentonGrey]

Haha, yeah! 

No worries, DJ, I'm just thrilled that you've shown an interest in doing this in the first place! 

Let me know if you need any help.  I can probably get you some skoping support if necessary.

I take it that you are going for the Johnny Weissmuller version? He, along with Ramar of the Jungle, were my main sources for jungle adventure growing up. They were on the 5:00 cartoon show (with Popeye, Betty Boop, and old Warner Brothers cartoons).

Nothin' wrong with a Sharp's Big 50.

[BentonGrey]

I'm going with the comic strip/radio show version, but he isn't really all that different from Weismuller.  I sent DJ this type of thing as a guide:

Alright, aside from Tommyboy based meshes, are there any meshes out there with a bolt action rifle and has keys for both a rifle and handgun?

[spydermann93]

What about using Gren's Crossfire_Gren mesh and skoping a bolt-action rifle and handgun onto it?

[Deaths Jester]

That was one thought that passed thru my mind, just wanted to see if there was anything else before going that way.

[BentonGrey]

Punisher_TJ has a sniper rifle and a pistol, with keys to match, though he only has one anim for the rifle.

[Deaths Jester]

Do either Jim or Kalo actually need pistols, Benton? I know it shows Jim with one on his hip at times but he isn't shown using it. Instead both are often shown waving bolt action hunting rifles. I'm guessing Kalo doesn't have a knife or such, either?

[BentonGrey]

In terms of character design, a side arm of some sort would give me more options.  I think ideally Jim would have a pistol and Kolu would have a machete, knife, or a rope or something.  Or, if it is easier, both could have pistols.

Maybe Gren's Crossfire could work well for Jim?  Maybe Punisher_TJ for Kolu?

A couple of very odd Jungle Jim stories:

And if you look at the Prince Valiant pages you will see... Etrigan?

[BentonGrey]

Neat!  I was actually just looking at some of those JJ stories with the crazier covers.  That was cool!

Hmm...maybe Kolu would do well with a Thompson...

You do know how to make my life hard, don't you, BG...

[BentonGrey]

I try my best DJ! 

We wouldn't want your life getting boring, now would we?

[Deaths Jester]

You have Pm Benton.

[BentonGrey]

And so do you.

[Deaths Jester]
