Here is the story.
When I was a kid my family moved into their first house. And like any kid the first thing I did was go out to the back yard and start digging in the sand box. I would always find toy army men and army vehicles that were buried by the previous owners. But wouldn’t it be totally unexpected if instead of finding toys I found the real thing?
And here is the entry. Everything was made in blender but the tank. OPEN

Billy thinks: “My birthday was yesterday, and I got lots of cool stuff. So to find this gift in my room this evening is quite… Unexpected.”
Pure Everything done in Blender. The box and tag textures were made in Gimp. The tabletop is a wood texture found on the internet.
I’m as done as I’ll ever be. I modelled the whole ship in 4 hours, very pure. Unfortunatly the hills didn’t turn out right- but I hope for it to kick some butt! Besides, who would expect to see THIS in their morning commute?
Ummmm yeah I think I will try this maybe. PLACEHOLDER 8)

I call this: “And they said it would never happen”

A squadron of flying pigs launch an unprovoked attack on a deserted picnic area using air-to-ground missiles.
(You can’t get much more unexpected than that, surely?!)
Pure Modelled everything but the pigs (which I got from the web). Struggled a bit with the particles for smoke trails and explosions as I’d not really played with them much before.
