      Awesome! The British flag adds that perfect touch 😄

      How 'bout making the main gun larger.

      Remember, great minds think alike, and fools never differ.

          Well hearing both camokid's and golden's criticism I made the gun bigger and added smoke launchers, as well as a few other things.
          The most notable addition is that of bar armour, used in Afghanistan to counter RPG threats.

          These renders were done in kerkythea, criticism is welcome

              looking good, you should stick to one model for a while and really go to town on it. If you look at some reference images on google you can see al the details you could add to this model.

              Put some panel lines in for a start. Also the headlights are restricted by the cage you should raise them and put them either side. You can use this for reference it shows good details for the front and side http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/be/MCV-80.jpg

                Liam, the real thing doesn't have panel lines, and it doesn't have raised lights either. The link you gave is to a warrior IFV, a different vehicle.

                This is the one i'm making

                      I would suggest working on it a lot more, there are lots of features that could be improved and details that could be added, I would not leave it as it is now.

                        Fair enough, what have I missed out? I know theres a lack of detail on the front area and on the storage boxes, and the turret is mostly improv, but i'm not seeing anything major missing?

                          Well if you look at a photograph of you model there are many details that could be added. I would separate the model into 9 or 10 different groups then spend a day or so working on each. Instead of making so many models of the same standard I think it would benefit you to concentrate on just one. Focusing on one project helps you to improve your skills and also the better the end result and final model!
                          You have lots of flat geometry that you could attach 'functional' greebles too so to speak. Good luck!

                              lol, i never noticed the rocket launcher on the front.

                              looks very good, well done

                                  Well I haven't really had anything major going on with SU recently, haven't really had the time tbh. Upside to this though, I've now got enough money to consider getting a new pc, so hopefully I'll be able to run SU a bit better then. Also atm I'm kinda lacking inspiration since my mind is so messed up from night shifts I can't really think straight, so any ideas for something to do would be appreciated
