Just doing some quick sketches at the moment.
Working out the details then I'll probably start the model on Monday.

Most of the details will come from the attached mechanicals; here's the rough idea for the body:

just by the design itself is a winner for me!!! awesome skills u got there...what program are you using there for those stketches?

noyb · 10-01-2010, 05:41 AM

thanks h2k1, I'm using sketchbook pro

noyb · 10-01-2010, 11:08 PM

this one was giving me more issues than I expected - I'm a little under 60mins in, I may consider restarting so I can have more time to detail the main body

solidworks 58min

Its all nicely done, what u modeling in

noyb · 11-01-2010, 05:46 AM

Thanks Tarik2d, I'm using SolidWorks to model this part, I may consider switching though because it pissed me off:

Haha, don't bother, noyb, if you switch programs all you'll get is a different error screen ^^
No way of recovering your work? Anyways, great progress, keep it up!

Doesnt Solidworks support some kind of multi stepped autosave?
that way, if one corrupts, you still have 9 (less recent) files left

i use it on 3dsMax
even if you got a completely corrupted max file, often most of it can be saved by importing it into a new scene

noyb · 13-01-2010, 12:32 AM

I'm back on this... I got back what I could. Here's to no more problems - cheers!

Here's where I am at 1h21min total - onto the body now

noyb · 13-01-2010, 01:54 AM

start of surfacing

+35min

noyb · 13-01-2010, 06:24 AM

2h30m mark

Hopefully I won't need any more planning for the rest and I'll just finish it tomorrow morning. No more nurbs like surfacing, but I still don't think I'm on target to get everything done

Tiberiy · 13-01-2010, 06:54 AM

nice material on the wheels

--Strattus-- · 13-01-2010, 12:51 PM

Lol, I can't seem to follow those non-polygonal types of modelling.... They look extremely efficient, but I just can't deal with them. Nice work, shapes are coming along really nicely!

noyb · 14-01-2010, 03:01 AM

4 hours - done
I only have about 6 mins left - not enough to model the gun

... oh well.

Now onto textures + render
