Quote - There's getting to be some good models of tanks and artillery out there, but often there are no suitable shells or ammunition for them. There are some good freebies on Turbo Squid, once you get through the conversion and scaling, but they onlt suit a few guns. For example, a 120mm APFSDS round for the German-designed gun in the M1 Abrams. Now, it doesn't look terribly hard with the right modelling program, if you can get a set of dimensions and a good reference picture. I think the trick is called something like lathing a spline. And, when you have models like the FLAK 36 and the PAK 40 on Vanishing Point, it'd be good to have the crew handling ammunition, and the clutter of discarded shell casings. Amyone want to have a go?
Post up some reference pics and I'll make some ammo and put 'em up as freebies.
