This includes the new M3/5 half-track and the 90mm half-track

[Keltos01]

57mm armed M3/5

[Keltos01]

and the ever so useful 20mm Hispano Suiza

[Keltos01]

made a new box for the coaxial MG

now working on both the 81mm and 120mm mortar half-tracks - Zazhlam in Hebrew -

[Keltos01]

Now modelling the cab for the simple M3

And trying to get some crew, unfortunately ab2 only allows for driver and commander ...

[Keltos01]

modelling the interior of the cab, all textures are from rl images of Israeli half-tracks

also : finally fixed the back cab wall thickness ! now it looks more like the real thing !

[Keltos01]

so the doors were only one face thick and would then appear transparent in game...

so I had to "solidify" them (I wrongly thought like in autocad) if you extrude you automatically get six faces from a plane.. not so in blender.

I'm finishing off the M3/5 with cab details and will use it to replace the normal lite one, the 20mm, the 57 mm and both 81mm and 120 mm mortar ones.

this is M3 cab5 model which will be the base now for all the variants, some like the mortars might have the windows open etc.. gotta re uvmap the tracks for some reason..

the underside mg was when calling the mg as 3d model under 'weapon'...

am still looking for good detail photos of israeli half-tracks... If anyone has that book in pdf too ..

[Keltos01]

got the floor done so its finished for the base M3

Mortar now working but need to sort things

[Keltos01]

The final M3 version cab9 might add some crew later on but were limited to driver/commander by the game

[Keltos01]

They both Fire

[Keltos01]

120mm and 81mm M3 now have the right Mortar model

The one in the back is 81mm
