Hey all

I would suggest working on a little more detail before working on texturing. But it's looking pretty good so far

Tnx for the positive reply's! :p

@GecT: I might have to redo the wheels. I used wrong settings when I created them user added image

@Rhetoric Camel: I'm not going to texture right now, I was just wondering what would be the best technique for doing this. First some more detail user added image

You need to fix the cannon, it is square and should be round, if this is a low poly model, you should fix the large amount of un-needed polys in the wheels, the good thing, it looks like a Tiger Tank. Don't give up.

nice start... i did a king tiger tank a while back... was fun. it might just be the angle but it looks a little wide to me... also looks like a problem with your normals or edges, harden all the edges and it should get rid of those black bits. nice start though
