Hope you don't mind, John, just couldn't resist having some fun with your excellent jeep

Hello Andy, the dirt was applied with a pen in PS as it's a lot faster than maps. There's a small tut here http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=46275&hilit=caterpillar
I'm not sure if I have any screen capture software I will have to check.
Thank you Simon.
Steve....what can I say about that brilliant. We should see Pete, maybe he could alter the render challenge to modify and render, I would supply the models.

Peter, your welcome.
A little customizing not half as good as Steve's! Gave up on the tires, each to their own.

Thanks for the model, John. I was going to ask about wireframes but this is even better! That jeep is a classic memory too. Besides all the MASH and Combat shows I watched, I had a little jeep toy as a kid. I can still recall the feel of it in my hand.

I don't know what John used for his amazing Jeep model, but here's some stuff that I was using when I was starting a Jeep model (which of course I have since abandoned after seeing John's models)

I also came across a 5-part article "Modeling a High Poly World War II Willys Jeep in Modo", not sure if it would be of any help but it can be found here - http://cg.tutsplus.com/tutorials/luxology-modo/modeling-a-high-poly-world-war-ii-willys-jeep-in-modo-part-1/

Thank you very much, Steve.
Wow, didn't expect that there'd be a response on the question that fast.
I've already read websites elsewhere here and there when I saw this.
Again, thank you very much.

Sorry John,

Only just seen this/these. Absolutely fabulous stuff, been off the forum for a wee while but I hope to see some more soon.
