Tank House

[Raccoon Sam]

With some inspiration from Howl's Moving Castle, I did this. It's a Work in Progress, so any suggestions are welcome!

We start off with a cool perspective pic that shows it overall.


Here's the back.


Here's the entrance. The door isn't supposed to be split, it just happens to be that way. Those are also metallic ladders but don't have a texture yet


Here's the hut. It's the highest window in the house and you see what you shoot from there. Also chimney.


Here's the back balcony.


And the final image which shows all of the views.



There aren't textures yet, and I haven't really made up my mind on what to put to the wheels. I originally went for spiky leg-things but it looks inconvenient and stupid, so at the moment's there isn't anything underneath the leg-things.
EDIT: 339 Polygons, too! I want to keep it under 500.

This is brilliant. It's badass as hell too. <3

I can't point out any flaws as of yet, can't wait to see it finished!

I pictured a giant zombie with huge muscles with parasites inside it. Now I am dissapointed. But nice sculpture though.

wow that's really neat bro, I like how you were inspired by Howl's Moving Castle (amazing book) it shows

not to mention, the cannon on the front is totally badass haha

A house...that's a tank...?

EPIC WIN.

How much does it sell for?

[Fuzzy]

I'm gonna cream when textures are added, I love it

This could be like a steampunk orgasm if you did some cool texture work for it.

[Glukom]

This has to be one of the best ideas in history.

i keep entering this topic thinking it's a drawing of doctor house as a l4d tank

but this is cool too

if you texture it it would be amazing

only thing that seems off to me is that it seems unusually tall for a tank, even one with a house attached to it

[Raccoon Sam]

Haha, yeah, in fact, it was a lot shorter, but it looked pretty uncool so I decided to stretch it 30 units up. But that was way before I added the house elements, so I guess it could look better shorter.
Thanks for the comments, 'yall!

Best 3D model of a tank house ever.

And that's NOT saying much about how awesome this is.

Man if that thing was built in real life, I would use that cannon to destroy anything! On topic, nice job.
