just feeling my way into the world of modelling, and this is where i have been able to get till now

indian heavy tank digvijay AKA despot


indian MBT arjun AKA axe


tunguska AA laser


gunship dhruv AKA dusk


heavy gunship tamas AKA tusker


a strange thing


a still stranger thing


INS vrihad, india's nuclear battleship(is there such a thing??)

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

Pretty good... especially if you have only recently started.

Keep up the good work

[Rich19]

These all look awesome! What program are you using to model them?

I would suggest you post the number of polies for the models, as well.

The model looks great, but the skin is rather lacking in comparison (and a rather odd colour too - is the tank supposed to be made with solid gold armour? ).

I like it, although it is a bit plain in parts. The chassis in particular seems a little lacking in detain in places.

Nice idea. The front turret is rather boxy, though, and thr chassis could perhaps do with a little more detail.

I love this. I really do. If I had to suggest something to improve, I'd say that the tail rotor doesn't look like it's attatched to the main body. But that's really a tiny thing - this helicopter is really great.

Love it.

You're right, these are a tad... strange... Were you inspired by the WW2 German monster tank concepts?

Looks great, although the front gun turrets seem a bit too boxy as well.


Keep up the good work!

[CommanderJB]

Excellent stuff - certainly better than anything I could make, and while the shapes tend toward the basic side, they're still very effective and would look good in most games.

Not as such. Aircraft carriers have entirely replaced battleships in the modern world, and have effectively since ~1950; while the US maintained the (conventional) Iowa-class until the first Gulf War, not only were there only two of them but they are also now decomissioned and deactivated, leaving no battleships in existence. The closest thing to a nuclear-powered battleship you'll find is probably the Soviet-designed Kirov-class cruiser now operated by the Russian Federation (one unit recently went on a tour of the world, and another two are undergoing refits); they are missile ships however, stuffed with anti-ship cruise missiles and SAMs, with their gun armament limited to AK-630 and Kashtan Gatling weapons and a pair of dual 130mm turrets which are really only intended for close defence. The US also operated a nuclear-powered cruiser design, the South Carolina class, as a 'goalkeeper' close-in guard for their aircraft carriers, but they've since been taken out of service. So nuclear-powered surface combatants do exist, but nuclear-powered battleships with large guns do not.
It could be argued that the nuclear attack and missile submarines operated by the world's navies are 'battleships of the deep', but they're not ones in the traditional sense of course.

that was meant to be a robot, but now that people think in to be an infantryman, i will pretend that it is indeed an infantryman

Awesome models

How did i miss this thread D:

My favorite is the Tusker from your first post, i really love it.

[tank50us]

what do they feed you people over there ? I never imagined a super-tank with an ICBM straped to it and two little tanks with two helos to protect it. talk about Epic units...

[JJ]

Hmm, your models are quite efficient there, with so few polys.

[Pav:3d]

That spectre-like gunship is amazing :O
Some great stuff in here

[glorious_hoplite]

heavy assault chopper.

~2100 polys

[CommanderJB]

Looks like it means business, but I'd suggest that the tail is probably too fat and the central fuselage probably shouldn't be cylindrical. If you look at military helicopters they are usually quite minimalist and with irregular or angular airframes, as they have a need to save weight wherever possible to enable better power-to-weight ratios, manoeuvrability and lifting capability.

Hey, you've got some nice models here dude.

My favourite would have to be the giant gunship, looks awesome. Although I really like the heli's as well.

Keep up the good work.

[glorious_hoplite]

some new models...

first of all, armadillo heavy tank

1237 polys

main weapon - 230mm gun
secondary weapons - 50mm cannon
15.2mm machine gun
AA defence - 15.2mm gatling gun
special ability - can carry 10 infantry inside its fat belly

cheetah armoured car

897 polys

main weapon - 90mm gun
secondary weapons - 2 x 12.6mm machineguns
one 15.2mm machinegun

I-6 experimental unmanned MBT

2126 polys

developed as a possible replacement for manned AFVs, it is controlled by operators sitting at a safe distance.

main weapon - 2 x laser guns
secondary weapons - 8 x 10mm autocannons

it is accompanied by a drone whose jop is to keep 360 degrees survellience and defend the tank. it is armed with a laser turret:D

Not a criticism of the model, but railguns are waay bigger. They use magnetic rails to fire small projectiles, and thus look a lot bigger.

[pirate]

those latest 3 aditions are quite impressive

[JJ]

Yea, very nice.
