You are making some impressive progess :O How much time a day do you spend on this?

Surround · Post by **Surround** » 2012-03-15 18:04

about 6. But today maybe I will use 10

Time I have spent:
before this monday 4h (blocking the shape)
monday 5h
tuesday 5h
wednesday 2h
thursday 5h and more to come

But i really should first make the bigger details. And then screw the screws

Atm my level of detail is 1cm. I probalby should double it.

But the reason I?m making so ?ber detailed and fast, is I want to send my portfolio next monday. And I need something super detailed in it.

i really hope that you can find the motivation to bring this vehicle to its final stage, the german forces could really need a transport vehicle like this

I hate myself for saying stuff than doing it. I really need to change that

But yeah, I really intend to finish this asap, but with quality. But only the models. I dont have time to start learn coding and stuff. I have few other projects waiting for start.

no worries about texture or coding we are really thankful for your model and if you feel the need to get some motivation you might gonna contact me or leusch for a motivating chat

this model is a great addition for the german faction and will find its duty on nearly every german map

Hmmm, are the hatches on top in 1a8 square or round?

** ah, they are round

Post by **J.F.Leusch69** » 2012-03-15 21:03

the hatch above the codriver is round (the guy that mans the front MG). also the big hatch in the middle is round, the 2 hatches in the back are always square ones (but got round edges

).

for the hatches have a look at the last picture and this:

( i know its super small but shows the hatches / leusch you might have a bigger one ? )

more refs are on the way...

EDIT: got far too many now

, need to sort them...

Surround · Post by **Surround** » 2012-03-15 22:43

You have to be quick before I model them

Btw, do i have to model the mg and the tow?

Post by **J.F.Leusch69** » 2012-03-15 22:47

we will use the PR MG3 and the PR Milan, you 'only' have to model the mounts.

Surround · Post by **Surround** » 2012-03-15 22:49

Phew, It would be pretty pain in the *** to do them too.

Post by **J.F.Leusch69** » 2012-03-15 23:02

just! for the front hatch (we want them we and also without the cage/shields):

right behind the hatches, the fan for the motor starts, and that looks different on the newer model:

(2nd page some small, but good refs)
the last link could be used for the rest of the roof aswell, since its the A8 version.
you can leave out the bins baskets for this night

same for the anti-skid bits.

You in fact have two options for the Milan, you can either use the current one in PR from USI, or you can look into replacing it fully in PR with a new one.

what i think what can be changed are the steps under the front doors they are used often and are bent caus of the usage
highlighted it red in the picture
