While it sadens me that such amazing talent may cease so soon (I for instance downloaded MilkShape, POV-Ray, etc yesterday and almost fainted- no understanding for whatever I have to do there
) I have to say that we have also greatly abused your wonderful model spree and generousity. But who could blame us, since you really make the most wonderful units I have seen to date 
.Tribute for the one they call KINBOAT !!!!!!!! And we all hope to meet him in the forums from time to time

We will miss your work Kinboat!
But I can understand that you can't work on such things all the time!

Amazing work, that Leopard puts my modeling skills to shame, Exelent standard!
How are you planning to do the Animation? With the firaxis moden armour the Barrel runs back in to the body to reduce recoil. With the smoke efeects remember to make sure the smoke object has no reflectiveness or refraction value. Some transparency effects model them selves on glass or water, refecting light and displacing things on the other side.
I almost wish I could stop doing Civ III units, but I'm single and out of work, So if I didn't have something to keep me ocupied I'd go insane- Once Iv'e worked through My backlog I may take a break for a while, though If I get a job first, making Civ III graphics could be a welcome break from the tedium of office work (more office work at home! what a good idea! ).
I'm going to try and get hold of 3d max soon, I'd love to do animating as a full time job, but when I see what can be acheived with a realy good program (mostly in the Animation area) I realise that I need more practice with a better program.
for everyone
I have agreed to make the Merkava, so the "which tank is best" argument can be confined to the battlegrounds of Civ III, It would be interesting to compare the size of the different tanks, My stepdad used to be a tank driver in the british army, and he says the Leopard II is about half the size of the equivalent British MBT, though all the british drivers whished they had the Leopard, cos it was mauch more manuverable, and with modern tanks "size isn't everything" its more an equation of gun power plus survivability minus size(cost)- a small tank with heavy hitting power and strong armour is better than a large tank with the same power. I guess this is why the next generation of tanks is going to be much smaller and armed with "smoothbore" guns firing missile type rounds.

Thanks Smoking Mirror... And everyone... As for the animations I'm really taking my time, planning to go out with a Bang! I think I've learned enough from my other units that I think I can do a really decent smoke effect with the Attack and Death... While I haven't started the Attack yet I was planning on some recoil, these are big guns after all. And in Moray there are many options when making textures, including the reflectiveness of the surface etc. so I can easily make a transparency that doesn't act like a water surface... or vice versa.
