Chaplin the Gnome

Garden gnome from Payday 2

The garden gnomes are gnome-sized figurines usually made of porcelain, used for decorating gardens and lawns. They are, however, going out of style in Russia, just like human decency.
I wish I was making this up.[lenta.ru]


Just as I was preparing to upload this mod, I came across wonderfully stupid news. Apparently, Gosduma ran out of important things to do, and one of the deputies, named Nikita Chaplin, decided to share his garden decoration advices, such as rejecting the outdated and irrelevant garden gnomes. Yeah, gnomes are a stereotype imposed by the West. You guys ran out of enemies of the state or something? No problems to solve except f*cking garden decorations?

Anyway, the gnome comes from the Mountain Master heist, which has a "carry the gnome through the whole thing" kind of shout-out to Half-Life 2 Episode 2 and Left 4 Dead 2. Even though the heist is a single day, and the whole game is about bag moving, so this is largely a non-factor. And hey, this is my first mod with a custom collision mesh! I don't wanna do those for weapons because they can clip through tables and floors and even fall out of the world as a result, but the gnome is fine as evident by the screenshots. I did mirror the model to match the original a bit more, but it's irrelevant now.
