hey everyone.
i had to put my outside project on hold due to problems :headbang:

so i started this gun platform type thing if anyone has seen forge world models they will understand where i got the idea from.

At the moment this is only the base on which the platform will actually sit.

let me know what you think

cheers dudes

looks cool but I think that you are using a bit too many booleans now...

Looks cool mate, I'm currently modelling a whirlwind tank from Warhammer, I love the detail of those models, they are awesome. My boyfriend loves to paint them (he's really good at doing all the detail), so there are a few models always lying around my flat. The forge world giants are good :p

When in doubt......smile!

those wires are deffinatily cool. Think of it like this- the more wires the more realistic it will be. And detail detail detail. It is on the verge of a very detailed model and if you leave it at that, I will be mad at you! :angery: lol!

So yeah, detail it some more then texture it, cuz its gonna look way cool.

well here rises the need for more detail:

he is completly stationary. There is nothing to protect him. So either you make him a sheild or you ditch the eintire person idea.

But the seat is looking good.

Also, wouldnt the dude need something to controll the turret with? a joystick type thing?

looking good user added image
