Cool, just asking, how long does it take to make a model like this? I want to become a modeler of some sort but I dont know were to start.

Depends, but not too long, maybe 2-4 "full" days (4-6 hours a day). Now I'm using a lot more days but just a few minutes a day . Though to finish a product you have to take some time to get a result you are proud of. Just start small (I started with a TT33 Tokarev using the Glock-tutorial) and take it from there You will get better and better fast if you continue to model!

Good luck!

But what kind of program should I use?

I use 3ds max, but there are free and really good alternatives (I cant remember the name right now, google it ). If you want to show me/ask me something you've made, just PM me with it and I'l take a look.

gmax is free but rather limited. Blender is free and extremely powerful.

Did you manage to find some time to work on the Sisu/Patria Winston???

No, sorry. Things are going slow, a lot of personal things are taking up most of my time. Probably going to be a slow month with little progress... Will try to allocate some time to finish this

Looks good so far, looking for the finished release.

Had some time today, made some progress. Although hard to see, the drive train is almost finished, but other than that a lot of small details remain. If it's okay with the team leaders I will use the picture posted in my first post as main reference for this model (Which I think is a XA-203) as the XA-186 don’t look as nice. (Any tips on making the renders lighter? I use the clay-render tut from game-artist)



Edit: One more:

Looks good, permission granted Fast

Looks beautiful Awesome work fast!

Looks ace but i dont know if im right or wrong but the hull shape looks a bit off, needs to be a tad more diagonal.

hm, the outline is made after blueprints, but I'l look into it

iGi iSooth told me it was for melee attacks

Cutting wires and other traps/obstacles in the road, saving the head of the .50cal gunner etc.
