The Tank
Here's a work which I actually did like...2 months ago? and didnt touch it for quite some time..
opened the file again n did some touch up earlier just now.

it's a Japanese tank, built during the 1940s. so i went looking for the blue print.
a friend gave me this website and i find it really useful - http://www.the-blueprints.com/

so, i got my 1st step, getting the blue-prints.

then i look for the life reference, to see more details.
Note that your references' size have to be big enough! so u could enlarge to see clearer details..

n then i start searching for CG references to compare, how other artists build/design their tanks.

next, i start going into Maya and model!
1st i build the tank's head, then the body, and finally the wheels x)

and finally it's done!! but not textured yet. lol

here's the one with textures, lighting, rendered and composite.
i hope you like it x)
