Challenger MBT
A british army Challenger tank, arguably the best tank in the wold at the time it entered service (1988, operation Lionheart). It is better than early model M1 abrams (before the DU armour; copied ceramic armour and 120mm smoothbore) and IMO the challenger 2 is better than that.
NEW VERSIONS LOWER DOWN, REMEMBER TO CHECK FOR THEM!!!
It is 100% mine made in my fashion (sitting at the desk looking at pics and thinking "freaking stupid mouse" because it's playing up).

detail level is great, as is the color scheme.
the shape, however, is very basic, and the barel looks really out of place. _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT
Thank you chielscape, if people could always be that helpful i'd be in heaven ; as a reward I will attempt to fix said faults.
And how would you suggest I fix the shape? How about raising the side skirts to expose the wheels? or adding in the various storage boxes and things that are actually on it that i didn't put on? _________________ Yes, work on MV continues. It is not forgotten. QUICK_EDIT
I see the turret and barrel are in the middle ... hehe looks better than the one you showed me tho. oh and change the normals on the sides, so the yellowness goes away....try 131 and 3 QUICK_EDIT
The barrel could move down a pixel, but otherwise, it's excellent, the basic shape looks so great. _________________ "Don't beg for things; Do it yourself or you'll never get anything." QUICK_EDIT

Not bad. Normals look fine, but they could be shown off better with a better vehicle texture and perhaps a new barrel that is more fitting. _________________ YR modder/artist, DOOM mapper, aka evanb90

Lengthen the barrel a tad, the texture and color scheme are kinda funny though Add in 2 antennas at the back of the turret? XD _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT
@Everybody: although your responses have been mixed the general agreement is that it needs more detail. Thank you all; you've been really helpful so far and i'd just like to say "please stay that way" because it's quite nice
@EVA: barrel more fitting? The real one looks like that, it's a cover for the rifled 120mm L/30 However I may change it's colour.
@Destiny: how about if I darken the scheme (turn all the 76 into 77?) and I may ad one to the turret like in real life.
@ARO: not yet, maybe the next version.
time will tell, sooner or later, time wil tell...

I like the body but the turret top needs a bit of detail in the middle. _________________ Comcast: Yo dawg we herd yo were downloading, so we put fail in yo modem so yo cant download while yo failin! QUICK_EDIT
i know but i don't know how to get the roof detail in... however i have a brain, the tools, a glorified shed and i live on a country neighbouring scotland (arguably the greatest nation of inventors ever; radar, scrramjets, loads of stuff...). _________________ Yes, work on MV continues.

Look at the details at the top. Try adding that in. _________________ Comcast: Yo dawg we herd yo were downloading, so we put fail in yo modem so yo cant download while yo failin! QUICK_EDIT

It looks wierd It's a bit to dark. Make the overall collor brighter 3-4 numbers (like from 55->52) and have a second go at the normals. They look starnge and "flat".. Just have a close look at the top of the tur I just look like a half made tank, with great potensial _________________ This is a signature QUICK_EDIT
I will raise the roof under the commander's cupola, try dupl3xxx's normals and lengthen and darken the barrel but the scheme STAYS and it's not getting any lighter or it'll go a siclky yellow colour (eugh... worse than 100% pink dot coverage...) _________________ Yes, work on MV continues.

Now that I'm sober, I will give you a better review (Someone remind me to stop posting when I'm drunk ). Anyway, yeah, I like it. It doesn't look much like a challenger, but more like a Churchill and the barrel seems too bright for the rest of the tank. Otherwise, I like it. Nice work. QUICK_EDIT
Thanks, ARO; it'll be updated soon (in like 10 mins when i can be bothered to upload, it's taller due to the fact I re-did the tracks and it has guards on the front and backs of the tracks too). _________________ Yes, work on MV continues. It is not forgotten. QUICK_EDIT
It looks good, but I think that the barrel is a little bit to short (I think so...) and too bright... _________________

The new version looks alot better
The only thing I don't like, is the barrel. Try making it somewhat longer, and give it the same color as the tank. If you do this, I think it will look great, and I promise to give a positive vote on your poll .
To make it look even better, I would suggest trying to add more detail to the texture. I think the chassis looks slightly too wide; try reducing the width (very) slightly.
But as I said: Aside from the barrel, it looks promising _________________ QUICK_EDIT

Its good to see people make real world stuff into voxels.
I personally think the barrel should be black like this leopard 2A6 voxel of mine as an example.

yeah, black would do. I did tha a while ago on another tank I made. I'll try it, and I'll re-do the square hatch on the roof as I can see that it's REALLY ugly...
And Gamingroach, you've got some skills, make good use of them and you may go far
Thanks all, I shall return at about 5:30PM GMT with a new version. _________________ Yes, work on MV continues. It is not forgotten. QUICK_EDIT
Thanks, it'll only improve (and if it doesn't I'll just try again from a backup ). _________________ Yes, work on MV continues. It is not forgotten. QUICK_EDIT
I agree, and hereby say:
I PITY THE FOO' WHO DON'T SPOTLIGHT ME!! j.k. but it would be nice
