Oh jesus!
I didn't see what was wrong with 3000.
It required the modeler to use a bit more caution and skill when dealing with less polies.
I'll still be entering though.

Mike

That was my thinking, but ah well.

[Sgt. Rho]

Like this?

[Libains]

Mhm, that works for me, you now have one edit to it should you wish to change. Btw, what's the poly count on that now?

[Sgt. Rho]

3776 without the rails.

[Rich19]

For the next contest, hold a poll asking what the max polies should be in steps of 500 (poll options 3000, 3500, 4000, 4500, 5000, 5500 etc) and have that as the limit, then defer anyone who complains to that poll thread.

I'll be entering soon
Just adding the finishing touches to mine.

I might give this one a go actually. I think modelling something that has a definite "way it's supposed to look" would be a better way to start than making something of your own design.

Is the image you make it from allowed to be a blueprint?

[Sgt. Rho]

Uhm, Prawn, you posted your train cannon yesterday, I posted mine last week.

[Pav:3d]

My B-17. My fave aicraft from WW2, since its quite literally a flying fortress.

Poly is around 2500-ish buts that mainly due to the propellers and unseen faces, if used for ZH they could be simply turned into alpha planes which would shave off quite a bit.

heh?

how can i have missed this thread for so long...

[Mbob61]

Here's my entry. Before i start, i must stress that unfortunately i made some edits to it so it isn't a 100% replica. If its not true enough to the design i will forfeit my entry.
I present to you The Tone.
The Tone is a Japanese heavy battle cruiser armed with everything from anti ship cannons, to multiple AA batteries and is even capable of carrying several sea planes. On the model, the 4 boxes at the back represent the 4 sea planes it is carrying.
Even though its guns aren't massive battleship cannons, they will still cause heavy damage to most targets it fires upon.
The Original


My Version:





To compensate for the fact that the funnel is further forward, i added 3 high speed fans to help channel the smoke away from the bridge. The "lid" on the top also helps disperse the smoke.
Poly = 3486. I hope you don't mind too much that it isn't an exact replica. However, i thought I'd post it anyway
Also, i may update it with the Sea planes and your criticisms if i can find the time

Mike

That is a lovely cruiser. Nice work. My only criticism are the undetailed turrets.

that is a very nice model there mike , the cannons could be a bit fatter and lower to counter the current somewhat fragile look

[WNxMastrefubu]

great model, looks much like its original pic

[samster01]

Dammmmn, that's a very nice model Mike. Haven't seen you model many boats so for a first attempt that's great in my book.

I like the general design of the boat a lot, the placement of the cannons, flak guns etc. Very nice model overall.

Make it even easier. Only those who submit an entry can bitch about " WHY IZ THE POLYCSCOUNT SO LOW? I HAVE MAD SKEELS!!" If you don't submit something, just shut the fuck up. Also note I am not telling you to STFU rich, avoids misunderstandings.

On a more positive note the models that have been submitted all look great so far.

[Pav:3d]

^Some versions did, and some versions didnt

[R3ven]

i love the models posted here, especially The Tone. It is one of the best ship models i have ever seen that would work fine on the zh SAGE engine

[Mbob61]

Here are my final set of renders for the tone.
Planes have been added, the guns have been sorted and I've made a few general other edits.
Poly with the planes = 4986
poly without the planes = 3216

*Please include an image of the weapon that you used to model from

General Kenobi you need to post the concept image you used to model the tiger tank 1. Otherwise according to the rules your model entry cannot compete.

That's quite a nice model, the chassis is a bit blocky for my taste but apart from that good model Kenobi.

Ops...sorry. Here you go!
