WiP IFV redux. Made a new RWS and HMG while I was at it, will put it on a bunch of other vehicles and see what it looks like later :>

Looks good.

The rear of the turret looks a bit bare, though.

In the process of detailing and colouring, now that I have most of the major parts sorted.

I can only suggest two improvements.

The rivets are too dark. Rivets and panel lines at this scale are actually portraying shadows, so they should be about the same.

The propeller could use some work. It looks like it has two blades.

This is a WIP, there are many like it, but this one is mine.

Made a 'nade.

And a rhyme.

MG team, late 1944.



Feedbacks anyone?

It means I like it enough that I would not be adverse with doing a RP war with you just to see them described in flight.

Considering that post came from you, I had hoped it was along those lines.

No art today btw. Busy trying out my new Nexus 9.

A great little render. Don't be afraid to customise the faces a little. Beards, skin tones and pupils add just that little extra bit of detail.

Art wise or on the team itself?

Added the new RWS + MG combination to the tank. I think it looks better this way, actually

Antaradwipan soldiers

I tried to IFV.


Emphasis on tried. I'm not really sure if I want to be satisfied with how it came out, but I've noticed that I don't manage to like IFVs no matter how they turn out. What do you internetpeoplentities think?

Basically I see what you are saying. But I can't quite pin it down. One thing that strikes me as odd though is the rear mounted engine cooling grates. At least I think that's what those are. That kind of setup is not really what you usually see on an IFV.

might just be me but the turret looks like kinda big relative to the rest of the vehicle

It's black, lumpy and has barely any visual markings. Looks good.

Do you guys take requests? I have wasted countless hours trying and failing to do this stuff on my own...

I don't see what the problem is, I actually like its silhouette. Korva isn't wrong though, the turret does appear to be approaching 'lolhueg'.
8/10 would crush enemies of capitalism with.


In other news, my tank model is coming along nicely:

I take requests for soldiers but I'm too lazy to draw vehicle requests.

Venatorium wrote:Do you guys take requests? I have wasted countless hours trying and failing to do this stuff on my own...

I'm game for 1px/1cm scale infantry.

Vehicles are a pain in the ass given that I can't do really *modern* stuff. Only the stuff that would never work in real life - hence the not!subtle Kraut-ish angles on the turrets.

Shameless boolet dump.

Edit: Mefpan, can/would you redraw Korva's work he did for me in px:cm, and how much of my soul would I need to sell to the devil you to get this done?

Yeah, I was going to point out that it looked vaguely like something I'd seen in WoT, but I couldn't think of how to phrase it right.

Modern vehicles and WWII vehicles have some pretty surprising differences in design philosophy when examined in detail.

Well, yeah.

I like tanks but I'm the "lazy fuck" kind of thank enthusiast who doesn't really favor modern tanks all that much - especially when people start unleashing their ABSGSGETADBERGWEGOMGWTFBBQ acronym horror ammunition that makes my brain hurt when I try to make sense of the abbreviation alone.

Besides, I think that's why in the canon I'm in tank philosophy's accepted as having gone a different, perhaps less efficient way (for god's sake, it's 2015 and there are rumors of super-heavy Soviet tanks being developed).



Regardless. I tried to into make turret smaller and a few other changings. Improve y/n?

Ok. I might take you guys up on your offers in the near future.
