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.

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

liam887 · 10 Mar 2011, 18:01

Simply amazing. Seeing this makes me want to stop my helicopter and start something new!

numbthumb · 10 Mar 2011, 19:12

Thanks for the flattering remarks, guys.
@ liam887: funny, I was thinking the same thing. I mean, to start a helicopter project

dsarchs · 10 Mar 2011, 20:22

If you guys combined forces you would have the ultimate in military-geekdom (I mean that with absolute respect): the helo-mounted 88! I'm sure Jerry Bruckheimer would drool at the thought of it...

numbthumb · 10 Mar 2011, 20:39

I never thought of that - an eclectic approach indeed!
That thing would beat the cr@p out of those post-apocalyptic "Mad Max" vehicles.
Thanks for stopping by, dsarchs!
