gun platform
 

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

this is a view from underside,ive got to but more detail on the hydrolyic systems aswell as the rest of the model.

some more progress.ive got to do the actual fireing mechanism so a bit of research required

C&Cs please

another view

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

the only place where i have used any booleans is on the gun barrels.ive learnt not the trust the out come of booleans because i dont really know how to control them.

oh- sorry, it just looked like the main swivel base w/e had bools.

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

yeah i love the warhammer models.i think for my next project i am going to do a titan of some sort should be good.
i think ive done modelling for now im gonna work on texturing this is the first model which im gonna properly texture so help would be much appreciated.
let me know what you think

and another view

i need some help on this model i dont know whether to continue to add more detail to the model or just move onto texturing.any crits or comments would be appreciated.

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.

ok then i get cracking on some more detail.thinking like an computer aided aiming type thing somewhere on the model.i think im also going to update the firing machism because at the moment it isnt all that detail
thanks for the advice i always get stuck at this point lol.

i have done a lil more.

i decided to give the poor person a lil seat with some seatbelts cuz it may be abit rough firing all those guns lol

i also added a lil keypad maybe to access the platform to make it work.wouldnt want the wrong person firing this beast.lol

i am also working on a gun sight that extends out but im not happy with it.

please crits and comments

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 :beer:
