G6 self-propelled howitzer

The vehicle is beginning to model self-propelled howitzer of a South African source. In this case it is a large vehicle and wheels. And with great firepower. Lime Canyon. 152 mm/39 lime. And its structure is aluminum. Is in operation today and has been the main performance in the African savannas.

The materials are preliminary.

Program Data:
Blender 2.63.1
Render Engine Cycles.
Note:
I am using in the body of the barge and the new Bmesh have achieved a very compact structure with few polygons.

Self-propelled howitzer is actually the scientific name for tank, so I might change it to something like mobile something battery. But I would say that the tires look great, maybe they should be dirtier. The modeling is good in general, but I think there should be a bevel, the edges look quite sharp. Another thing, the hubcaps look like maybe they should be a different color.

Thanks for commenting.

In the case of rubbers, in fact are so large and they lack the manufacturer’s trademark, rspaduras and dirt. As for the colors of the wheels are preliminary. Since the whole take a camouflage paint where the base color is yellow-sand. Since this tank descerticas plays in the savannas of Africa. As for the bezel of the pieces, it is in the process, in the portion of the tube where it stands out more carries a very heavy door with a thick border, so this part is not visible.

Thanks for this helpful to my work and the contributions provided much help to clarify our ideas.

Actually, a tank and a self-propelled artillery piece are very different vehicles.

Thanks for the comment.

And indeed the self-propelled howitzer (G6). It has a light armor and should be arrested for the shooting, since in these shells are used for long range shots between 30,000 and 52,000 feet in some versions of this vehicle. In eho has legs for binding to the soil and thus have greater stability for the shot. The tanks can fire without stopping change.

A small update.

A new development. The views of the shell makes when I have more parts made. Now I have concentrated on the details of the front.

Greetings and thanks for commenting.

Looks Awesome.

Should try making the Olifant Mk 1B main battle tank.


Really superb work. How did you make the tyres?

Tires following a tutorial I made something old Blenderguru. First is a map with the tacos. And adjust the width and length as the original model. I count the cleats and so an arrangement with the care reproduzcos fit perfectly. In this way obiene rolling. Then with a lattice deform it to achieve the curvature is rolling. To give the job a circular curve to the strain circle. So now I have the tires. And to achieve the effect of vehicle weight lattice I apply another modifier for it. In my blog I show how this is done last.

It would be interesting to see the Olifant Mk 1B and G6 Rhino in action. In a war effort.

Ooooh, that looks pretty epic with the turret in place. =D

Hello friends.

Another development of the model. In my blog you can see other images.

Wow, that’s quite a huge barrel. =P

Hello To all.

Happy Labor Day.

It was a long week without posting any progress. I had many doubts about the structure of the turret and could not find the model. It’s amazing the number of variants that have this vehicle.

Here I give you a side AO. In my blog you will see others, and already with the base material of the model.

Best Regards

A small update of the model. Corrected the size of the barrel as it was not proporsionado with the rest of the vehicle.

Best regards
