If you ever need that rendered please keep me in mind, it would make a frigging awesome playtime project.

How about a Render model, we can all play?

incredible dear Numbthumb!! a master piece indeed ++
(and I love this clay render style)

May be something more "peace&love" model the next time!
enough war machines in this world.

Absolutely fantastic amount of detail. Love it.

Gareth · 4 Mar 2011, 05:40

awesome....brilliant....well done....!!!

Bryan K · 4 Mar 2011, 06:36

Awesome.

Where did you find the details?

numbthumb · 4 Mar 2011, 21:24

Thanks for all your feedback, guys!

@simon: thanks, my friend, I´ll try somethig different next time. I am not that interested in guns - things like these belongs in a museum ( although the mere choice is a typical Freudian lapse - I hope it doesn´t make me a trigger happy nut after all )
@Bryan K: it was modeled after the gun displayed at the Barcelona museum.

I'm glad we don't go hunting together. I would hate to carry your ammunition.

dale · 6 Mar 2011, 03:12

Add my praises. Really well done.

I suspect you own one of those and have spent the last 10 years modeling it- am i right?!
Nicely done.

numbthumb · 7 Mar 2011, 13:17

Not really
But I have been working on and off for about a year, mostly because of the HD failure
Luckily, there were plenty of spare parts from scrapyards

I am finally getting around to looking at your model closely.

You must have one of these things in your back yard for reference. The detail is amazing!

numbthumb · 10 Mar 2011, 09:01

Thanks. I intend to simplify those tiny parts, because they are "spares" from my previous models - I guess that chain links for instance, could have far less segments.
What do you think?

Hehe, no, I used walkaround pics from the military museum of Montjuic in Barcelona and the Naval Museum in Tigre, Argentina as a reference.
Plus some of my own taken at Vierville-sur-Mer & Arromanches couple of years ago during my trip to Normandy.

nice to see someone getting pleasure from the modelling, not just the renders. excellent work - your massive input is worth every minute!

shanks for sharing
