[Vehicle] SISU XA-186 [WIP]

[FastWinston]

^hehe, no sorry The shovel is standard on both the CV90 (which i took it from) and the SISU

[Z-trooper]

Looking good Winston looks like some solid modeling right there
Glad to see that some of my tips are being used here and there

Are you able to unwrap it?

[FastWinston]

Thanks! I would like to say that I could unwrap it in a jiffy, but sadly I don't know squat about unwrapping, sorry

Edit: God damn moterf***er, after looking for interior shots of the SISU for 2 minutes on primeportal I find some blueprints of the exterior. I’ve been looking for some since I first started this model, and I find them just when I’m finished… That’s just my luck

[Glimmerman]

Is it a lot of work to Dutchify it (scrap cuppola and place standard .50 cal on top hatch behind driver)

[FastWinston]

^ not too much no, some things have to be moved around, some things removed, some things modeled and some things remodeled

[Glimmerman]

Excellent

[FastWinston]

I need interior shots of the Norwegian SISU, johnandreas, could you fix that? It's kinda, really, very important! I have lots of interior shots, but none of the Norwegian version (every god damn version looks different...), if I also could get some interior shots of the Dutch SISU, it would help me a lot

This is where I am at now, and this is based on probably 4 different types of SISUs:

[Glimmerman]

Ill do my best m8!

There you go

[FastWinston]

Thanks!

[Glimmerman]

If you need more stuff let me know ive got plenty of sources.

[FastWinston]

More stuff is always good, so bring it on! Especially the mount for the .50 cal and interior shots
I see now that I have to remake the air-conditioning unit, but that will have to wait as I’m going to Syria and Lebanon for 2 weeks

I need interior shots of the Norwegian SISU, johnandreas, could you fix that?

I'll see what I can do, those who we used to have is put away in some garage somewhere. But I'll give it a try.

I believe I sent Halvor some photos of the mount attached to a MB290.

Lovely, the most important is how the turret looks from the inside and the positions and types of seats in the back (and their numbers). The turret I have modeled now is probably from the Swedish 20mm turret. Do you know what is placed in the compartment between the turret and the driving position on the left side of the vehicle? And do you use the extra seat in the narrow point between the front and the back of the vehicle?

[FastWinston]

Small interior update, now this shit is fun to model! Although I feel there are certain tricks and smart things I do not know about when it comes to interior modeling...

[FastWinston]

@ glimmerman: most of the interior pictures in the rar file are from a Finnish vehicle, do you have any that are confirmed Dutch? I could see that some where from a Dutch vehicle, but without a .50 cal, which I need to see how looks from the inside

[johnandreas]

The Norwegian version is pretty much the same.
Just remove the cylinder, making an open space and move the seats closer to the middle so that there is some storage space behind the back for our bergens and general equipment. And also the shelf on the left side is longer, backwards, and stuffed with .50 ammo boxes!

[Glimmerman]

FastWinston ill ask around stay tuned.

[FastWinston]

Thanks johnandreas and glimmerman! Johnandreas take a look at this photo, is this what you mean? And what is the function of the room behind the drivers position and in front of the shelf and turret?

[cyberzomby]

Wauw! That is looking nice. Jealous of you that you can do this!

[johnandreas]

Looks just about right.
The shelf should be longer, starting at the wall ending half a meter before the closest chair. Could You make a overlook render/photo? It looks like the shelf is a triangle in the corner.
The gunner is standing on a metal footrest (skammel) which is about 60cm high with a metal plate on top and four legs. So it is possible to place equipment underneath.
The canal is usually for storage of non-essential gear (sleepingbags etc.) and there is an engine inspection hatch on the left side.
Radio equipment is located in the front right side behind the commander.
