I only had about an hour to play with this. Before I get too carried away, I thought I would ask for some input. This is an APC, and will have a couple different options. It will have a bed like the Camel FAAV, and also a closed cabin. It can carry a squad of figures (six) and *may* have a turret option. Any thoughts? Suggestions? Input? Attachments:

Urban Camo 2. I am calling this the MONITOR APC, named for the monitor lizard, ("MONTY" for short). It will also have 3D versions of tracks to put on it, as well. Attachments:

Looking good I'd drop some shadows into the track area so the body is not the same colour were the tracks meet the body as the rest. It's itching for 3d tracks, if your upto it you could make them optional and simple rounded rectangular cubes, for some reason my brain is seeing them as chunky to give the whole thing a low crawller like look but thats just what I'm mentally visualizing when seeing one profile Maybe some damage scratches/mud that kind of thing? just some quick thoughts as I'm procrastinating doing instructions for the steam mech.... edit: not sure if you want them but some public domain camos at open clipart library, be careful how you apply them or they can look dodgy as per mentioned in a previous thread openclipart.org/search/?query=camo

Thanks, SirRob01! Here are some samples I did quickly to test it out. Any thoughts? Woodland Camo Attachments:

Suggestion: Make the thread as a box separated from the body. Using the same "3D or 2D" style of your previous models.
The simplest model will have a 2d body with 2 2D threads, one each side os maybe even be a simple 2D body as all previous versions. The intermediary model can have the 3D body and 2D threads, and the complex model a 3D body and 2 3D threads.

Looking good I particularly like the Arctic White, Urban Camo 2 and Desert Storm Camo versions. I'm not really sure about the "star spokes" on the first and last wheels but then, I have no real knowledge of tracked vehicles.

I was trying to go for this effect... I know only what I had on my G.I.JOE vehicles as a kid, and what I find on-line. Glenn Williams already pointed out my "errors." This was a test/ prototype, but I can see a lot of potential here. I was procrastinating on making the "box" for my "boxed set" for EoW. I will revisit this after I get the game out... It is ready to go right now with no box. Back on track... (no pun intended) I am planning on trying a couple different options. We will see how it all unfolds. ;D Attachments:

Nice! I love the different camo schemes, but I like the woodland the best. ;D

Sir Rob 01 set me up with that. I was able to change the colors very easily! I may start doing more stuff like this... I LOVE EXCEL!

I love this Kila, a nice simple to build (and thus mass produce) apc model in a range of colours (especially like the woodland too)!! Excellent.
I don't particularly like the bright white star on it though (especially on the stealth scheme). It just looks out of place to meand limits it's use to certain armies. Personally I'd drop it
3D tracks would be a bonus, but like the FAAV the 2D option leads to a quick and simple build.
Keep up the good work Kila!!
Right now I'm off to transfer Era of War to my e-reader so I can peruse it whilst on my trip later this week.

Thanks for picking it up, Mags! I hope you enjoy it. It is a blast to play, and once you get through the first couple of rounds, it becomes second nature. I am all about easy to play, and simple is better than complicated. That is what is great about not only EoW, but these models. I plan on re-visiting these soon, but I plan on getting these out there *soon.* I have about four projects waiting on me, that I need to get finished before JaggedJaw unleashes the Scarecrows on me. Thanks again for the great feedback. Ok, the star is going to be axed... at least on some of the models.
