Looks good so far! When I make vehicles, I tend to make the frame thickness too thick, but You’ve got it pretty much right I think. I don’t know about tank armour, but thinner than my frame, the lighter, and better.

I will neat peak, why road and sprocket wheels are so flat? Is it just texture?
They should be recessed much deeper.
Rest looks really nice.

Thanks for the tip, the sprocket and idler wheel i made are different than that reference, i thought their are 2 versions from this tank (as in an edited one) now i realized that these are the base ones lol, ill make sure to remake them, thank you!

Hmm… That’s interesting. I’ve looked some more on pictures on google, and I could find wheels similar to yours, but only on toys, models and such (although not as flushed with the rest of the wheel).
Still there might be such variant of the wheels. It might not be the case of standard/not standard, it might just be how certain factories did them, like differences on T-34 tanks. Soviets built loads of them, so you probably will find many variants of certain details.
True, i might have to keep some time in the end to make edited version and models with different parts, for now i guess ill just keep it like that and in the end ill make more versions, thanks for the suggestion tho ill keep that in mind
Looks really nice! Any chance we could get a wireframe version?

Some tight modeling in there, seems like a mix of SDS & procedural - looks good though

Hey everyone,
Im back with some new updates, i revamped the pipe at the back, in addition to the handling of the wooden log and the pipe, other than adding the driver hatch, any ideas what else to add before moving to turret?

Hey everyone, im back with the new updates, the cupolas are almost done and i added the floodlight beside the mantlet and connected it to the cannon, still tweaking the cloth around.
Tips and comments are appreciated!

Coming along 
Also that mantel shroud fabric for the main armament looks particularly nice - was it sculpted natively in Blender as well?

Yes, the mantel i did is a basic cylinder shape and sculpted along the cannon of the tank in blender, I actually used a displace cloud map to give it some wrinkles but the main shape is sculpted
Hello everyone, im back with some updates, i added cloth and handle bars on the turret in addition to some modifications, i feel the turret is still empty (i still have some welds and small hangings to add) but is their any idea about more stuff to add?
tips and comments are appreciated

Wow! Nice progress! It’s lookin great!
I can see a shovel on the side of the turret, or some other tool will fill in detail I think. Good luck
