If it looks like I just slapped a bunch of rectangles all over its because I did. What other way would you make it look like a bunch of scrap sheet metal was welded all over for protection?

The actual end result probably won't look like this. I want a heavier front, machine guns instead of a minigun, and i think i want to cut a hole in the roof for a rocket turret.

Just asking, but what's the face/poly count?
heedicalking:
i still wonder how you can manage to make all of this in milkshape, it's such a pain to use. do you just dupe verts and make faces? I looked at some of your models and the interior separate from exterior, it must be a huge pain to look at in milkshape.
phydeoux:
What part of "this is a quick edit, this is not how end result will look, i will change things" do people have trouble uderstanding? Lol
You can see out, but the view is obviously limited. But again this was just messing around for a few minutes.
Poly count probably isnt as low as it could be. Im not the most efficient modeler and milkshape isnt the most efficiet program. Its not a pain to use at all for me because its what i started with and its what i know. It is actually incredibly simple. A lot of times i am just reshaping the verts on boxes, or creating parts one plane/face at a time. I usually make one side and then dupe and mirror. I know most of my stuff has unseen faces but im getting better about removing those.
Wehrmacht:
you could add some nails through the scrap metal and maybe make some of it corrugated or something that looks corrugated
edit: oh, and remove the glass.
wheels should be covered by circular plates or just by A big steel plate altogether

Yeah this is what I was going to say.
