Re: New 3d toys? XVI

Nice work - It's good to see other entities getting a makeover as well as aircraft.

BTW - Has anyone tried modelling a troop/infantryman in proper 3d rather than the single poly method used at the moment?

Absolutley fantastic.

BTW - Have you worked on the nozzles at all? From what I've seen they have two sets of moveable plates, the inner protruding further aft than the outer layer.

Stunning shots though :)

Hi There are some new tiles in the Balkans but unfortunatley no newer versions have been completed yet.
