CH53 model replacement for Combine Dropship

NOTICE: I DID NOT MAKE THIS MODEL AND TAKE NO CREDIT FOR IT. I ONLY DESERVE CREDIT FOR CONVERTING IT INTO THE COMBINE DROPSHIP BUT ALL OTHER MODEL WORK WAS DONE BY THE ORIGINAL AUTHOR. I DO NOT KNOW WHO THE ORIGINAL AUTHOR IS.

A model replacement for the Combine dropship that turns it into a CH53 helicopter. It also edits one of the vmts so that the combine box below does not show. The model is only a replacement and to make it correctly fly forward you will have to accept that the combine will exit from the front of the helicopter. I cannot fix this because I cannot model. The Strider also is barely visible when hung underneath.

The bugs:
Combine come out front and helicopter lands close to ground.

Strider is barely visible in helicopter.

That looks pretty cool..

But how is this a 'release' or Obsidian Conflict related?

Fox wants to use this in one of his maps, so it's all good either way.

Well it was just sitting on my desktop getting unused so I figured someone might get some good use out of it. I didn't make the model but its still a good conversion. I didn't know where to post it so I thought here would be appropriate.

What if the model was rotated to face 180 degress the other way? Mappers would have to move the dropship on path tracks in reverse, but atleast you'd get the combine coming out of the right end?

Does that sound right I've confused myself?

Nice release, it looks similar to a heli, 3D mike made for de_recon.

I think rotating it in hammer will not work. I guess you'll have to rotate the model itself by 180, I guess.

I meant the model $origin 0 0 0 -180 or something like that (off the top of my head).

When i see this, i remind me L4D2. It would be a good replacement in some maps, especially in zombie-survive maps.

P.D: someday could see a Apache replacing the helicopter combine or a, i dont know, a AC-130 replacing the combine gunship, no?

Another thing I don't like about this model. The backdoor is always open...

Well I don't know how to model or anything like that at all so your just going to have to live with the backdoor open unless someone fixes it. I still have the original version which was for the chopper you fight in canals if anyone wants that. I think the apache is better for the chopper though.

Do you mean the HL2 Beta one? If it is, I want that for the Helicopter not the Gunship.

The original version of this helicopter was made to replace the combine helicopter you fight during canals.

Here it is if you want it.

EDIT: The apache I was talking about is this one here. I can't find the other link so for now you need Gmod to download this.

I am not sure what your talking about with the HL2 beta helicopter, sorry I can't be of any more help.

EDIT AGAIN: I think I found the beta helicopter you were looking for here.
