Did this Start life as a Model, and Rc car, or Did you mold (sculpt) the tank?

I love the mod! Looks like it wants to drive off the table!

nice job, the only thingI notice is the rocks in front look like they have holes in them. But that thing over all looks sweet, looks like a perfect scene out of a battlefield.

[Rankenphile]

Oh hells yeah! Nice work, man.

Does the turret turn by remote, or through computer controls, or just by hand, or...?

Man, excellent execution. Very nice looking.

A few minor criticisms - the whole thing is very... sand colored, which is extremely appropriate, of course, but a few touches of color and shading here and there, especially among the rocks, would really serve as a nice contrast, bringing out some of the other details you've added - the human eye tends to get lazy when it faces an expanse of one color, and is drawn to any contrast, such as your oil barrel reset button (extremely clever, by the way) or the BF2 logo on the drive (how did you do that? it looks VERY clean!). Even drybrushing/inking the rocks a bit could help enhance it, allowing them to be drawn back and bringing out the details in the tank itself. The same could be said for some of the finer details on the tank - the screen on the top, the little rails around it, putting them in a beat-up gunmetal color or something could help enhance the effect, bringing them out. Running a very thinned black paint/ink along the creases and cracks betweent he metal plates will help bring out the definition in them to a surprising degree. Even if it's not strictly realistic, the small details like that help a lot.

Also, the end of the turret barrel is still solid and painted in the sand color - perhaps cutting out a hole there, or at least painting the opening black, to simulate the hole?

Don't take that the wrong way, however - it looks fabulous. Very nice work. My jaw dropped when I saw the first picture - very unexpected!

Can we get some more detail shots? Perhaps of the canopy and the treads?

What are the specs? Dunno how you fit something to run BF2 in there.

great mod! just a few problems with the paint, but other than that its great.
keep up the good work!

[thephreak99]

Realy nice mod! :)

What kinda tank is that?

[Myrdhyn]

looks like an abrams (sp?)

[public_eyesore]

sharp, i gotta say thought, the kb is the best part of the mod imo

[SgtM]

Realy nice mod! :)

What kinda tank is that?
That would be an M1A1 Abrahms. Kick ass tanks!

[Rankenphile]

What is the solder hinding behind the rocks on your desk? Decoration, or is it also an active part of the mod?

[Xato]

sharp, i gotta say thought, the kb is the best part of the mod imo

Yeh, the keyboard has good weathering etc. It would be awesome to see the entire tank completed in a similar fashion.

[BravoNijN]

the soldiers are just decorations that are standing on my desktop

and about the paintjob
i'm not that good at pensil work but i will try to make it more on detail ..and thnx for the response all

[perrco]

[Slovenian]

That would be an M1A1 Abrahms. Kick ass tanks!

Actaully in BF2 it's the M1A2

[Fluffy]

That is one insane mod, great job. The only concerns i had with it have been asked already though, and that would be the extra textures in the paint job.

And i like the keyboard aswell

Very, Very, Very, nice. One of the most creative mod's i've seen in a while. It's a damn shame you didn't do a project thread, i'm sure I for one would have loved to see how you put that together. Sweet. Definately not a computer to hide under the desk. Keep it up :)

-Dave

[onelegout]

Absolutely AWESOME! I saw this before i played bf2 and thought 'yeah its cool' but now that I have played bf2 I realise how perfect it is for the game! :D
You did a great job with the paint job too! made it look 10x better! :)
Peace

[BravoNijN]

the 3 gb part is a typo i did not see
3 gb sounds abit strange
no just 2 gb ram

the painted keyboard looks rough, get the bf2 keyboard by Zboard or watev

[Namic]

Had to come back and have a look at this again.
Top build BravoNijN

I'm well into the battelfield games too.
Bad Company being my fav at the moment and can't wait for Bad Company2
Although my confession is that its mostly on the PS3

Would be great to see an updated build version to go with the Bad Company series.
Shame about not having a work log, but still I think should of been an entry for the Hall of fame series.
