so that is that... I dont know how to convert models yet, give me an hour and im sure ill get the hang of that... but now I think i need a challenge.. this was just a few hours messing around... im sure i can build far more complex models, anyone got a request... I will look at them then make the one i prefer the most.

im away for a few hours and a whole model with texturesis thrown together. damn nice little mesh and the textures are pretty sharp aswell, damn impressive for a first attempt. The flag is a nice touch aswell.

As for another model to challenge you, take a look in this thread: [url]http://www.dynaverse.net/forum/index.php/topic,163359546.0.html[/url]
as theres a massive selection of designs that havent been touched yet. there has to be something there that catches your eye.


Thanks for the compliments fallenwarior... im looking at that thread now ;)
