Description

A nasty surprise when you thought you've already flanked it.

you're the first person to say so but i kinda thought it was a little thin too... it kinda works and kinda doesnt... might re-visit this soon.
um and as for program i was playin around in sketchup but ive been using 3ds max for a while so if i was serious i would most likely model it in this

heh cheers. if i could get anywhere near the results from sketchup that you do then i would try. as for now its on a back burner. unless you wanna give it a crack.

very nice, if you make it a tad more steam line and longer then give it wider external steel plates it'll look fresher. that is if thats what you're looking for. i like it because im writing a story and its set in a new age WW2 setting, with lots of large mechanical things.

yes big armour plates are something i havent really experimented with but its something i may tackle in the future
thanks for the comment

By any chance, is this inspired by GDI's Mammoth Tank?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
not intentionally no. I just did a google search on what that was and i guess there are similarities but i havent ever seen this tank before. I was just stuffin around and designing with no ref

Mm-hmm... 4 individual tank treads is the trend nowadays, eh?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
and accusing people of copying a tank they really havent seen before is also a trend it seems. I never claimed to be inventing individual treads. i also never claimed that i was being 100% original. If anything my inspiration came from the large tank in the original halo...
might wanna start getting some facts straight before throwing around ideas that people are just copying shit.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Whoa, whoa, chill. I didn't mean to upset you. It so happens that I've been slowly seeing 4 treads more often, that's all.
And in case you're starting to think that I don't appreciate this piece, then no. I actually find it interesting. Tanks are hard to come by in dA ever since humanoid mechs became the new tank. And I'm rather disappointed that I can't find as many tanks as I do mechs.

right ok... you gotta be careful with how you write comments man... i really shouldnt jump to conclusions but words can be miss interperetted quite easily as i have just demonstrated.
i apologise

Okay, that's fine. I was just being casual. Didn't the eh? part tip you off? ;)
