Quick Model Request

I'm working on a single-man team project for WC3, a massive game centered around Goblins and an ever-growing to massive proportions tech tree.

Now, as I'm sure you can imagine, I'm fairly busy trying to figure out how to make the entire thing work, and can't quite devote the time to modelling that I'd like to. So I was wondering if some good soul could give me some help:

I'm looking for a Sappers-like three goblin model. The lead one would be the 'architect', holding a blueprint, maybe with a t-square strapped to his back, a pencil stuck behind an ear, typical architectural stereotype in Goblin form. The two followers would be specialists. One would be a carpenter, saw in one hand, wearing a tool belt, blank of wood over one shoulder. The last would be an electrician. Big pack on his back, carrying live wires in both hands, goggles, hair standing up from multiple shocks.

They're going to be the main builders for the race. The needed animations are simple: A couple of stands. Maybe one where the electrician touches the wire together and the model shakes around, another where the carpenter turns and smacks the electrician upside the head. Typical Three Stooges like action. A simple death and decay animation, nothing fancy needed, and a walk. That's all they need.

Well, thanks for looking this over.

Well, thank you very much. If you can't get the animations, I'm sure I could look around and get someone willing to put at least basic animations into it.

Thanks to you, once again.

i didnt start from scratch, but i didnt just copy the sappers, as the back one in the sappers is just a barrel with feet -.- i copied the guy from the front several times and edited him slightly

Wow! Looking good. Thanks so much for the effort you're putting into it. It looks like it'll be awesome once you're done modelling.

hey, I know you said one man, but is there any way I could help with it? (the project that is)

Uhm,...you want to help?
Well, considering I have all the skills of an inebriated squirrel, I'd be more than grateful for any help you're willing to offer, but the project is slow, undermanned, and lead by a crazy fool with no idea what he's doing following an unclear vision.

But if you really want in, sure. PM me all you want with questions, I'll tell you whatever you want to know and you can contribute anything you want.

...im not even going to bother discussing it in this thread.....

Yes, let's not talk about such things here, this thread is really more for the model that ElvinArcher is so graciously working on in his free time.

And no, an inebriated squirrel has no skills. All they do is twitch like crazy and run into trees.
