Just for fun, I thought I would set up a little challenge for all of you 3D artists out there.
I want you to create a tank concept model. It is to be no more than 450 polygons (including weapons).
The tank itself should be about 6 meters long with a twin turret, and in design it should fit in with the overall UGTO theme.
There is currently no anti-gravity in the DS Universe, so the tank should either be tracked, or hovering via some form of visible jets.
Ideally the model will be un-textured with both wireframe and solid renders.
Please only post actual models in this thread - that means no concept drawings unless accompanied by the model itself. And don't post multiple replies containing the same model in various stages. Edit and update the first reply you make.
There are no prizes or rewards available. This is just to see what your ingenuity can come up with.
One last thing... you only have 7 days to complete it from the date of this post.
Good luck 
P.S. Anything that isn't an actual entry will get deleted.

My first attempt after slowly working my way through how to model with blender.
For anyone who hasnt modeled before check out this link

next task is to detach the 2 turrets to so i can shoot in a different direction than forward

well, I tried, but no matter what I did, in Google sketchup, it looks stupid (meaning more ICC that UGTO) and stupid cause I wasted 2 1/2 hours working on it, the original idea is that this be a hover tank, as can be seen on bottom of model (for those that download whole model)
maybe if UGTo textures where added????
here is link to model in sketchup, for those that want to get a close up look before they flame me,
http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=2fcfd26d554655c6ed9c1d5cf072e8d
my only defense is this is the first 3d model I have ever done, and I am still learning how the software works

Severe budget restraints have led the UGTO to improvise.
