With that in mind; does anyone have some wheels I could borrow for working on an armoured car/treads for working on tanks?

Also is it best to put credits in the image itself, or is it alright to leave credit visible nearby? (IE: In the same post or factbook entry, clearly indicated)

If you use stuff from JG, they prefer you to put it on the picture itself.

Not bad, although you should replace most of the internal black lines with darker colored lines.

a military is not an everything. in cameroi it is not even an anything. thus a cyom is not a cyoe. ever.
truth isn't what i say. isn't what you say. isn't what anybody says. truth is what is there, when no one is saying anything.

He's saying that military is not everything. As in other stuff is more important... or something of the such.

CYOE is to create everything in your own way. Military ordnance is just a huge favorite thus makes up a majority of the posts. Fash posted a sweet muscle car a few pages back.

Thanks :D

I'm uncertain as to how to go about getting shine on things, especially with the limited space available on the visor, but hey, baby steps (Speaking of limited space; I've no idea how to get insignia that small; its hard to render crossed spears and the national mark in a space of nine pixels, hence why the mark on the hat is just sorta a cross).


Would you like this hat as an example?:

Oh, I have some wheels you may use, if you so wish:

Thems'l do nicely, fixes the problem I had of trying to connect the wheels I was using to the rest of the car via the suspension.

Already fixed the hat up, but the reference is appreciated (Specially since I might need to do peaked caps soon)

Nice work.

I'm tempted to overturn my self-imposed ban on heat-rays, or allow some other form of ray weapon. I could do a wicked steampunk ray gun.
I'd have to go back and rework all of my vehicles to include them, though, except maybe the spaceships. I'm sure I can think of some mechanobabble reason why heat rays don't work in space, and save myself some work.
