March 2007 Model of the Month

Armored Snow Transport
by Petar Potocnjak

Petar Potocnjak writes about his model:

This model is based on an actual model I started building some time ago as part of a full-scale post-apocalyptic playset project, but it eventually turned out to concentrate on a single model, mostly because I ran out of bits. Therefore, I temporarily dumped the entire post-apoc idea. The entire process of modelling, rendering, double-checking, etc. took some 8-10 hours. The wheel system on the transport is fully independent and similar to that of a tank, allowing the vehicle to turn around its vertical axis. Since I'm a beginner in working with LDraw, it usually takes me much longer to make a model there than to build it by hand. The most difficult part was concentrating on details, especially minifigs and their "workspace".
