3D Modeling: PanzerKampfwagen VI : Tiger I (7)

Its been a long time since I posted something on this blog, for different reasons, but anyways here is what is new of the Panzer.

Finished the last details of the turret, added the smoke grenade launchers. Also started the main body with the tank wheels.

Small update on the modeling, just added some details on the box and the lifting points on the turret.

3D Modeling: PanzerKampfwagen VI : Tiger I (3)

Day 3 of modeling the Tiger.

Today I fixed some problems with the turret, so now its interior is smoother and also fixed some non planar faces that were looking bad. Modeled the point of the cannon and added some details to its base. Also I modeled the Box that goes in the back of the turret with some details.

Hope you guys like it.

Today I worked a little bit more on the Tiger I. I fixed a little bit the grid of the turret and modeled the cannon.....well most of it.

3D Modeling: PanzerKampfwagen VI : Tiger I (1)

So I enter the CGTalk Hardcore Modeling Contest. It is called "Cutaway" and the idea is to model something mechanical with all the parts on its interior and present it as a cutaway image, as the title says.

I went a little bit crazy and chose a model a little bit complicated, one of the greatest tanks of all
times, the German Legend: PanzerKampfwagen VI : Tiger I.

Here are some images that I will use as reference:

I started the modeling already, with the general shapes of the tank body and turret. I will keep working on it tonight, but here is what I have so far:

Reference planes:

Basic form of the turret:

Turret interior:

Main body + Turret:

Hope you guys like it. Any advice, commentaries or questions are more than appreciated.
