Yeah pretty much just a huge cannon on wheels. In the map, the original designation was "Heavy Tank", but since i wanted to give it a more specific role, i replaced them with tank hunters. I have a soviet version too that i haven't uploaded yet (SU-85) and an american that isn't textured yet (M18 Hellcat).
 
Cool. But I meant in real world Jadgpanther was a tank hunter.

Anyway, hope to see some other of your creations as well :)
 
@skrab: The textures are based on stock photos.
The tank textures are freehanded with a stock photo layered above with a "multiply" filter mode, while the vietnam huts are basically just stock with contrast and saturation added.
The Bofors and the PaK40 are 100% freehanded.
The airfield is all stock except for the tower. There's still a lot of work in the creation process, though.


EDIT:
@ikillforeyou: *drools*... Actually, when i think of it, the game does continue even after ww2 has technically ended, so why not? ;)
Seriously, it would be the perfect escalation in a hypothetical continuance of ww2. I am so tempted, we'll see if i've got the space.

EDIT2: Forgot to mention, but the caterpillar tracks used on all the tanks are done by IllidanEvil. If anyone wants to see my .psd work file for the tank textures, just PM me and i'll send it.
i didn't think people would actually doubt that i made the models themselves, but that's also very complimenting to hear.

If you mean the little wheels inside the tracks, then i agree. It looks way too empty. i will add more geometry to them, namely hexagonical cylinders between the model planes.
The later models doesn't quite use the same "save-every-polygon-you-can!"-philosofy, and certainly look more detailed. I will upload them too later on.
 
lol, thanks :)
I have already done the Panzer IV, it's just that i don't feel like i'm completely finished with it yet, so i haven't uploaded any images of it.
I too love the Sd.Kfz 222, but it has no role in the map.
I have done Sd.Kfz 251, however. :)
Just needs texturing now.

By the way, updated thread with the T-34.
 
OMFG DD:... *fells of the chair and be on the ground for like two hours* ... *gets up*...
WOW Fingolfin that's what I call realistic and awesome models xD.

Suggestions: You could try making other tanks and WW2 stuff, like airplanes, other tanks [like Americans and British] etc.
 
Let me suggest some tanks...
U.S.A:
-M3 Stuart Light Tank OR M24 Chaffee Light Tank
-M4 Sherman Main Battle Tank
-M26 Pershing Heavy Tank


U.K:
-Light Tank Mk VI Vickers
-M4 Sherman Main Battle Tank (both U.S Army and U.K Royal Army used Shermans as Main Battle Tanks)
-Cruiser Tank Mk VI Crusader OR Cruiser Tank Mk VIII Cromwell


Japan:
-Type 94 Light Tank OR Type 95 Ha-Go
-Type 97 Chi-Ha Main Battle Tank
-Type 95 Heavy Battle Tank


Well, I think that's all for now. Sorry if I've "bombarded" you with tanks, It's just that I really like WW2 and Modern stuff xD.
 
Actually, i already have it sorted out, this is how it looks:

U.S.A:
*M3 Stuart Light Tank
*M4 Sherman Medium Tank (the term MBT was not in use by then)
*M18 Hellcat Tank Destroyer

U.K:
Same as US except they can have "grants" in the african theatre (not decided yet)

USSR:
*T-26 Light Tank
*T-34/85 Medium Tank
*SU-85 Tank Destroyer

Germany:
*Panzer I Light Tank
*Panzer IV Medium Tank
*Jagdpanther Tank Destroyer

Japan:
*Chi-ha Medium tank, the rest are Soviet tanks

Italy:
*Carro Armato Medium Tank, the rest are German tanks.
 
Yup, so people could see all models you have already done until now. Also post a link on your signature to this thread xD

Awesome, any chance you could show them? :D

You mean take pictures of them? Sure, though I need to get the chance to do it and remember to do it :xxd: I also have some planes somewhere, though not really sure where.. Its been some time since I was in my model phase (model as in real models, not the 3D, that one is still active :smile:).

If you check the project thread at a page some 3-4 pages from the last post, you will find WIP images of a battleship model, the IJN Kongo.

It is pretty sweet.

Indeed, I don't have any that advanced - but perhaps my neighbour does, since that's his big hobby to make those. Mostly those that can be controlled as well.
