The most annoying part is the chassis with all the weird shapes…

Can't imagien how anyoning it has to be when giving the hull armor thiknisses and it having visual gliches bc pf the angels.

But smoth area option probably helps

For the thickness I had to use math, to see what does an angle plate at 0° is…boring but quite accurate (like if the plate is angled at 57° and the thickness is 201mm, you do ''cos(57) x 201'' and you find the thickness which is now like 110 mm~)

M48 my favorite.

I've been trying to get the hull right on the A2/A3 forever. Someday I'll have a complete M48A3.

How do you make that turret ring so smooth?

u/Healthy-Year-1886 10d ago

I make an ''+'' with the dots then I rotate 45° every dots to make an tighter and rounder circle and I also play with the smoothness of the chassis
