PZ.III WIP no.1 (first replica project)

195 Nuschel  5.1 years ago

So i'm building a replica of the "Panzerkampfwagen III Ausführung(version) J" althought it might end up having characteristics of different versions, as there were many versions of this vehicle, many of them very similar. That would affect e.g. the placement of the lights, the air intake system for the engine on the back and the tools and containers it will be fitted with. I'm using the "tracks II" mod, and I'm planning of incorporating the advanced aiming mod too. But here's the problem, or challenge, rather: I'm struggling to build the turret of the tank because of its angled surfaces. Until now i avoided putting together the turret from individual plates and leaving the inside hollow as this would increase the part count further. I also tried to use the "variable fuselage" mod, but its really tricky to get them to the right shape. Anyway, if anyone has an Idea on how to build the turret, please leave a comment-thanks. I might add that the chassee is by no means finished, there's still a lot to do.

    a tip, DO NOT use part mods, so you end up leaving your posts restricted to PC users and you end up losing many upvotes of mobile users
