      Pretty amazing modelling imo.
      Those tracks look fantastic, I would love to see your method for creating them.

          WOW ๐Ÿ˜ฒ , are these for a project or just hobby? they would be great for paper models in pepakura.

            HOLY CR#P!!

            These are mind blowing.

            I just wanna play with them, animate them, dirty them, pose them.

            Excellent work, I'm truly humbled by you skills, eye for detail and your abundance of patience.

                Gorgeous!
                Just another little question:
                What plugins did you use most frequently during this astonishing modelling work?

                  Thanks for all the comments.
                  The lowest poly model here would be the T-34 with 290175 edges and 113783 faces. I was aiming at small file size which is only 2,8mb. The king tiger so far has 850214 edges and 338435 faces.
                  It's not difficult to make these track links. Each link is quite simple in shape and than you just need to copy it along a path.
                  I only use standard SU tools. Only plugins i have installed are Sketchyphysics and Kerkythea exporter. The only plugin i'd wish to use is subdivide&smooth by smustard.
                  All these models are done by me just as a hobby. I'm not a military enthusiast, i was just learning sketchup and i couldn't find an interesting topic. I came across some tank model in the 3d warehouse and wanted to do a tank myself. Before i finished my first one i already knew that i'll be doing another one. I find some strange joy in these machines.
                  If anyone wants to use these models for rendering, animations, texturing or anything they're in the 3d warehouse (all except KV1 and King Tiger). Just search for the tag "shareck".
                  There is only one pic of Abrams in the first post so i'm posting some more below:

                    shareck, hope you don't mind but I did a bit of mucking around with a couple of styles.
                    I think the 3rd and 4th image look fantastic.

                              Really impressed with the 4th style in particular.

                              Can you advise if that is readily available or what it is called.

                              It has the look that really appeals

                              Thanks]

                                Its one I made by combining 2 that were in the Style Builder Competition Winners set and tweaking the settings a little. All credit to the original authors.
                                Both Image 3 and 4 are the same style but with different face styles (Hiddenline, Shaded, Monochrome etc) and 'Use sun for shading' switched on or off.
                                To be honest I cant remember the exact combination ๐Ÿ˜ณ but you get the idea. ๐Ÿ˜„

                                I've attached the mashed style.

                                    Hi All. The King Tiger is nearly finished. I'm posting a quick render from kerkythea. i'll be trying to put some textures on it later.
                                    king tiger.jpg
                                    the render came out too bright and the reflection shouldn't really be there but i've no patience to run it again.

                                        A bit of experimenting and hopefully get the same effect
