Hi All, first post and first contest. I'm going to be making a M1 Abrams tank, I've been working on this over the last few days, mainly blocking out the main shape. hope you guys like it let me know your thoughts.
Cheers.
Cool stuff! M1 is a really good looking tank. Keep up the good work!
ooooo.....this is real deal......superb work so far,
Keep it coming.....
can you tell how you made those tank tracks? 
Thanks... 
Thanks guy for the feedback, I really do appreciate it.
Gauravcg the way I did these tracks was I modeled one track and the brackets, then I use a MEL script that I downloaded from Highend3D. All it does is instance's your model along a curve exactly like the 3Ds MAX script TrainMaker just not as good LOL. Here is the link http://www.highend3d.com/downloads/search?search=treads+script&x=0&y=0 I got the 3 bottom scripts they all sort of work the same and are a little bit bugy but they do the job.
Hope this helps you out
cheers.
hey thanks alot.........i guess these scripts will help, will post the result soon....
Thanks again!
Haven't been able to update in a while, been crazy busy. Just reworked the tank treads and modeled a M240 machine gun and a M2 machine gun, hopefully I should the whole tank finished soon.
Very nice, man!

Just wanted to throw an update in. I have some of the ref that I'm using and a few new screen shots of the tank. Still adding more shape to the M1 little bits here and there. I'm just using some place holders I made for the tracks while I workout the final design of them.
