[Glimmerman]

I still think the hull must be a bit more diagonal from the middle to the top side, it now * *allmost looks streight.

For the rest it looks good, btw did you find the latest pictures about the .50cal mount usefull?

A new WIP render. The .50 cal is just to check for size (Yes I realize it’s not quite right, it’s a 2 minute hack-job) Not too much have happened other than the .50 cal mount which should resemble the mount in use with the SISU’s I’ve seen in use with the TMBN (but I lack good reference material). Most of the work has gone in to removing n-gons, which is a pretty boring job Not too much left to do now

Love it !! It's amazing , Great Job !

[FastWinston]

Voila, it's done!
Because of a lack of reference material, I do not know if there are any typical battlefield modifications done to this APC when deployed by the TMBN, so the model is rather clean, but I guess that’s OK The model has 8954 tri’s, and that’s including the temporary .50 cal, and I have not yet gone over the model and removed the remaining, unnecessary, vertexes and faces so the final number should be less. I have used a long time removing any n-gons so there should be no problems in that department

If there are any criticisms, ideas or notions about the model, just holler out and I’ll see if I can/will fix it, but like I said, I regard it as finished

In regards to the interior, I have chosen to close the armor on the side windows and I’m thinking that the front windows should be dirtied up really good and tinted when making the textures, so you cannot see the inside from outside the vehicle. This is so I don’t have to waste polys on a low quality interior only visible from the outside. I have never before made an interior, but I am going to try and make it anyway. I will include the back troop-compartment as well, should be good fun modeling

Thanks for all your nice comments!!
