Hi there!

And what exactly did you fail at? Anyway, since it is basic stuff, I´d recommend you start here: http://sketchupdate.blogspot.com/2011/11/new-getting-started-videos-for-sketchup.html

perhaps like the one use in 3Dmax where you can unwrap and apply the textures in Photoshop

If I understand you correctly, you´ll have to use the external UV bridge for that, because sketchup UV mapping capabilities are close to none: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=23725

Oh, and welcome to SCF

It´s an old debate - like here, for instance: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=1761

Great stuff indeed, thanks for posting. Looks like they´re using Modo for that.

Thanks for reminding me And today, we have a nice Jelačić monument in Zagreb.
Erected by the Austrians

Nice logo. Funny, nothing down here...

Fredo´s Curviloft?
Btw it is a very dense mesh

Sorry

No hassle. Nice boobs btw

Haven´t even noticed that

It´s much better practice to attach those images directly to the post IMHO.

Just to add to this, the only working example of a Tiger II is at the Musée des Blindés, Saumur, France.

And it´s chassis has more resemblance to the Panther

I don´t see anything

No problem, glad I could help. Take a look at: http://www.panzerbasics.com/index_files/30-resources/french-drawings.htm - a lot of goodies there

Oh, and you´re gonna need a lot of these, too:

I think it´s this one: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=30143

What the heck...
Some wires you got there. Could you show the oil level too?

Also check out this topic: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=40151

And don´t forget to visit this place, as well:

Really coming along very nice

A small suggestion if you don´t mind - the inner surfaces of the tracks are completely smooth, with no guide teeth. The Tiger II was equipped with two types of tracks: 660mm narrow tracks (used for transportation) and (judging from your pics) wider 800mm combat tracks. So you should also scale down the sprocket wheel a little.
And - unless I´m totally mistaken - this type of sprocket wheel should have 9 sprocket teeth (18 in early type, respectively)

Here is a little something that could help:

Keep up that great work!

Great stuff, looking forward to updates.

BTW I believe you´ll find this topic intersting: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=17329&p=173488&hilit=tank+museum#p173488

And just out of curiosity - did you by any chance use these images as a source of info for the turret interior: http://www.williammaloney.com/Aviation/PattonMuseum/TigerIIKingTigerTank/pages/01TigerIIKingTigerTank.htm?
Another great set here: http://jtrowbridge5.smugmug.com/Shrivenham-King-Tiger-COMPLETE/Turret-and-Gun/13395763_rzpTgm#!i=326545805&k=WCWdC

But somehow I think you already know that

Indeed . Love that subtle weathering. How did you do that?

Hvala!
