ok so it was originally a pullman like in this picture

modifying it into a short wheelbase model like the old one because fucking idiots keep coming up to me, going "lol wtf is this shit why is it so long".
Earlier on Jake posted pictures of 2 of our collaborative jets, the assault being mostly my project, the fighter being mostly his. So here I thought I'd post the evolution of the assault plane he posted, as it is a project recently revived from months ago.
First revision
[img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/LvskH.jpg[/img_thumb]
Second revision, made the next day. Improved wings and different canopy.

Final revision, made recently. Improved body, material, canopy, and finished cockpit.

reminds me of an urbanmech
Didn't get much of a response at all on the tank, which made me sad.
I made a bit more progress with it.

That's a 75mm cannon mounted, and I think it fills out the space nicely while not being too big.
I added some ladder rungs to the front to give a bit more detail. I also simplified the sides where before I had a different layer of panels that didn't look good at all. I also revamped the turret geometry a tad when I figured out that bullets could fit through the seams where two faces didn't quite fit together. I've not forgotten about the turret access hatch, I just haven't added it yet.

I've not started on the interior, but there is a small viewport up front and access to the turret.
Again and as always, C&C is more than appreciated. [SUB][SUB][SUB][SUB]Don't make me beg[/SUB][/SUB][/SUB][/SUB]

Wooo, someone else who does tanks with interiors!
I suggest you move the viewport a little higher so the driver will be able to see out of it though.
Seeing stuff on here, makes me ashamed of things I've made.

Bleh, most all of us started with boxes and sawblades or something to the like. My first "contraption" was a boat made out of wooden crates nailed together because I thought weld only worked on metal things.

You are doing good. Keep it up.

Don't let 100% functionality get in the way of making cool stuff :)

Fair enough. I'll keep going. Does anyone perchance know of any places that have decent ADV Dupe files for download?

Hi there, we don't usually release our dupes because most of the time they get stolen by kids that claim to have built it. Other than that there is no website that I know of other than facepunch and wiremod.com

He's the same Mr White, although you will find that most people here have an interesting youtube channel, like Red, Amplar, Unretz, Jackpody and many more.
MrWhite, can I use your ACF mobility control chip? can you post it?

It's the left tank track of the Landkreuzer P1000, as you can see I still need to do all the wheels and mechanisms inside it and the protruding parts from the sides.
It's 141 entities as is right now.
I'm building it as a mix between the original design and this drawing of a larger one:

Oh ok that's perfectly understandable. I was just looking for some random dupes that I can spawn and tear apart, learn how they work and are built. I got some but they are nowhere NEAR the kinda things I see in here and are generally the same as what I can build. (Which suck horribly.)

Y'know what, I'm beyond caring if some little kid acts like he built my shit. I know I built it, and I posted it here so people who aren't that little kids friends know it.
So here, have my Maus (It has the turret, and a working driving system and ACF), you'll need Wiremod and ACF. I'm not too proud of her overall turnout but she's a decent contraption.
Oh, and you'll need DoD, I threw some radio props in there that may come up as errors.

Nearly all you need of tutorials are on the first page of this thread.
In adition to that I'd strictly advice you to not unfreeze your contraption at all during building.
Dupe it as you go along and play with the duplicated model.
another piece of advice is to learn pretty much all the basic functions of Precision Allignment as
it is perhaps the most important tool of them all, learn how to move points, how to constrain
and how to mirror/move things agularly.
Good luck

Yes I'm still very nooby, most I can do is basic shapes. And build a ball socket engine.
Precision alignment isn't always needed, I only use it to mirror props from one side to the other.
When you get precision aligment it will come with something called physgun buildmode.
Combine physgun buildmode with the multi parent tool and you can position props perfectly wothout collisions, without nocollide constraints, then parent the detail props to a chassis.
It really makes building shapes so much easier.
Look up parenting tips and such, when you master parenting you can make shapes on your vehicles with as many prips as you like.
Spent an hour designing a tank. Came out horrible. Deleted it all. Bah I'll get the hang of this soon. Also. When trying to use the Maus. It seems to not spawn correct. Like it clips into itself and then goes all spazzy. Not sure if it's me doing something wrong or?
Do you have wiremod? Without wiremod it won't parent and will commit suicide
If it still has problems with wiremod you may need to update the E2 before used and I'll upload it for you.

I have wiremod and it seems fully up to date. It comes up with a window each time I start the map, and when I check version it says it's up to date. Unless I've missed something.

251 props at the moment and counting up.
Those wire gates are for the doors.
[QUOTE=oakman26;36737716]looks too long and thin and the wings are just rectangles[/QUOTE]
I agree that it's too long, I made the main part of it a long time ago, tried to make it look better by buffing it out but still looking streamlined, but its not one of my best planes. The wings are rectangles because of how restricting making the air foil shape was.

Try spawning it at original angles?
[QUOTE=eurocracy;36750245]Try spawning it at original angles?[/QUOTE]
Still gives me the same problem. It's missing a few models due to lack of DOD, but from what I see it's just small bits and pieces and shouldn't make the model go totally nuts.

That's very strange. Here, have the E2 and update the chip on the tank before unfreezing her, as it may be an outdated chip making her too light for the ACF and other body props:

You can also just view it as it's frozen if you wish.
Also I finished all the wheel mechanisms and did some hull work, 242 props:
