Neither price nor name have been settled yet, but I'm quite optimistic that it will be released next Monday

How about "Mongo" (from Blazing Saddles) and you could charge 10.00 Euros

I know, it's worth much more than that! It's looking great with some paint on

Name suggestions: "Bruin", "Warthog", "Mastadon"

Certainly is, Commander - by the British army, never mind a li'l ol' video game...

I think you'll find that a service date of 2010 is much much later than Bungie's first offering of the warthog in Halo: Combat Evolved (November 15, 2001).

Bloody Hell. The MOD are naming their new armoured vehicles after video game inventions! How's that for life imitating art?

Zafarelli · « **Reply #39 on:** March 30, 2011, 08:34:52 PM »

... and Warthog is also the Nickname of the A-10 Thunderbolt. But even before that, it was the name of a ... warthog, courtesy of Mother Nature

Thanks for all the suggestions, people! Still haven't made up my mind though. I'll probably go with "truck"

Jack, the tires were painted black, then washed with various earth tones to simulate dirt in the tracks, then drybrushed black again. I need to rework these, they are much too light.

thanks!
but my question is "how did you sculpt them?"

Zafarelli · « **Reply #41 on:** March 30, 2011, 08:39:10 PM »

I didn't sculpt them at all

They were modelled in 3D CAD by a friend, then rapid-prototyped.

Sangennaru · « **Reply #42 on:** March 30, 2011, 08:39:50 PM »

Lol, i see!!!

did you use shapeways? how much did it cost?

The Breaker · « **Reply #43 on:** March 31, 2011, 03:47:39 AM »

My vote is for "The Wombat".

Commander Vyper · « **Reply #44 on:** March 31, 2011, 09:26:41 AM »

I think that TOAD would be a good name. Or Hyena?
