Type-61 Tank
Subject description: Because I can.
Hey all. On a whim today, I decided to make one of the tanks that I'm about to build a pair of on 1/144 scale while I wait for my airbrush cleaner to arrive in the mail.
A little background: The Type-61 main battle tank is from Mobile Suit Gundam's Universal Century time line. It represents the Federation's traditional ground forces from the One Year War when Mobile Suits were being introduced for the first time.
After I get the sizing just right in-game (RA2), I will post pictures of it in its native environment. For some reason, it keeps looking too small in the game. Its late here, and I'll get around to that sometime tomorrow.
Needs in-games. VV shots can look great but in-game turns out to be ass. _________________ Because Banshee saw fit to ban my other account for no reason, this is my new one. QUICK_EDIT
There's a kawai smiling face on the back of the tank lol. Other then that, looks good. Now ingames. _________________ The future belongs to The Forgotten! QUICK_EDIT

Unlikely with RA2 normals.
Pretty good voxel nonetheless. _________________ YR modder/artist, DOOM mapper, aka evanb90

And that's why I switched the color scheme!

Yeah, I started making a Zaku II, but it didn't look how I wanted, so I've abandoned that for now, and switched to making this instead. I'm from the east coast of the US, and I thoroughly enjoy the U.C. Gundam series' like the original MSG, Zeta, ZZ, 08th MS team, etc. (None of that ztyping Wing crap).

Case and point, it does... still not quite right. How do I solve this problem without completely remaking it? Obviously I'm still learning the finer points of crafting voxels.
Any thoughts? Suggestions? Comments?

VXLs & HVAs! Try them in place of your Apocalypse tank to see it in action.
It doesn't look that good ingame... You should remap it and give it a darker seign if you want to have it be like the rhino or you can have it be the brightest thing on the screen. QUICK_EDIT
The bounds are incorrect up so it's getting stretched apart, thus the big lines...
IMO the vxl should be a lot bigger to fit all the funky details in.
yep due to the already too small size and wrong bounds, i'd say the size should be doubled with VSE Full Resize and then the bounds set to 75% of the 100% from VSE calculated bounds.
Then add all the nice details and make it an outstanding voxel.
btw, is the bright color ingame really the result of the dark color in the preview shot? _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings

It could be better. Graphically, it's on the same level as the Soviet Rhino. What's with the black lines, anyway?
Incompetence... no, I had to resize it to as big as it should have looked compared to everything else, and in the process, that happened.

I may have to do just that...

Eh? No, I made two color schemes when I put this together, and the gray one bothered me, so I changed it to soviet colors for the time being.

PS: This should be in the Media Hut as there isn't a download.
What do you think is in the .zip file?
Alright, now I know what I gotta do. Double the number of voxels, and then cut it down in vxl bounds manager to about 75% or whatever looks right. Plus, I can add the detail it needs in certain places. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
Should've mentioned this before, but it's barrels are too far apart from each other unlike on the real thing. _________________ The future belongs to The Forgotten! QUICK_EDIT
