THE TRACKS ok so for the tracks you only need the gw parts from the russ or the chimera apart from the long track guards, you will need all 4 of them, here we go.              ok so thats it by now you should have something that looks like this  now on to the turret Edited by MrBestor, 4 Jun 2010, 12:04 AM.

Yeah i has macro enabled but its getting long in the old tooth as in its only 2.1 mp im looking at buying a new one soon, hopefully that might fix the blur, whats strange is that sometimes it takes pics perfect, it could be the way im holding it though too, ill have a go at re doing them soon and see if that helps. And wow i just realized howmany typos i made in that guide, damn ill need to re do them when im not half asleep Turret tutorial now added, hope you guys like them if you make them again let me know if ive net explained anything clearly Edited by MrBestor, 4 Jun 2010, 10:30 PM.

fantastic work on the turret, only thing i would do differently would be use a series of .25mm layers and laminate up the armour, would be quicker and easier to get the right shape. |
