the modeling and animation parts i worked trough like a hot knife goes to butter user added image

the only thing i hated was the UV laying out and textureing
i couldnt find the right colors for the apache and how the colors looked in the tutorial when Kbrown left you on your own, i didnt like how it was all way to camoflague with all the black stains and stuff so i deceided to search what the apache colors where on the net and the bump maps are a bit self thought off :p
