Well, after a little tinkering, fumbling, and then finally reading the instructions as I should have from the beginning, I was able to load a model :mrgreen: Step one was the sticking point for me, that folder "wot_temp" on C: drive is possibly what was causing you trouble... It's used as...

Well with the model editor, I merely started up the program, I didn't bother trying to open, view, or fiddle with anything in it because I really don't know much about it or the models themselves in the game... I would think that if they could be extracted in some way however then they'd be...

Ironically, the Ragnarok tank in WH40k is more or less a model you -can't- do wrong... The reason being is that even in the mythology (lovingly called "fluff") it was a stop-gap measure tank developed in desperation, as such, it was a slap-dash effort and many of them have differing appearance...

The textures for the road wheels, return wheels, and drive wheels all seem to be in the same .dds file as the overall tank textures... The treads however are another story altogether... They have their own separate file within each nationality at the very bottom of the list, along side each...

Well, as for my knowledge of tanks and the like, I've studied WW2 and particularly the weaponry of WW2 for quite a while, and over the years it just seems to have "stuck". I usually can't remember all the finest details verbatim from memory, but I can certainly recall the references and then...

You just said the magic words, I love my Silhouette cutter(s)... The trick to alignment is to finish the photo-editing in whatever program you like (photoshop, GIMP, etc) then open it up in Silhouette Studio, where you will then put on all your lines and so forth, and the final printing...

Well, if in doubt, use the muscle work that the developers of WoT (wargaming.net) have already done for you on many of the French and Russian tanks. As to the game files, from what I can tell, all the models and textures are in "Games\World_of_Tanks\res\packages" folder. The .pkg files...

The representation of the Lowe in WoT is merely the product of insufficient information coupled with their limited understanding of the weaponry and their weights. Overall the Schwere Lowe, what they have sort-of kind-of tried to make in WoT is undersized. It would have had to be about the size...

I'm not familiar with them, but I believe they are Warhammer Fantasy designs... The scenery behind the models (cobblestone road and masonry type walls on the buildings) as well as the overall "steam punk" sort of design also is quite telling, note the steam piston on the side of the...

Indeed, look into them and research plotter/cutter machines in general, because there are several, I just happened to find what I needed in the Silhouette line. They are all generically called "die cutting machines" because that is basically what they are imitating, a die cutting out a...

Well, with the lowe for instance, it was actually intended to be one of the earliest tanks to use segmented applique armor which is entirely omitted, but somewhat understandable since the tank didn't see completion. Other quibbles with the in-game model for instance are the turret, because of...

Well, therein lies the rub... You can find them all over the internet, I got my Silhouette SD 2 years or so ago off of a general crafts store website for something like $160ish... I recently got my new Silhouette Cameo with a mega-bundle of extra goodies and replacement mats/blades for...

Well that's what Lowe's and IKEA are for :mrgreen:

Oh most definitely, there are as many opinions about the particulars of some of the obscure experimental tanks, as there are stars in the sky... And indeed there are many artistic interpretations of them as well. After the various facilities within Germany that were producing their...

Hmmm... I posted an extensive reply, with several links to several places with more imagery and information about the various experimental tanks... I'm guessing it's under review, or perhaps blocked. All of the links were perfectly safe, but I also completely understand with how rampant...

Ahhh excellent, thank you very much for sharing that :mrgreen: I'll have to accelerate my plans to clone myself in order to have sufficient time to make all of these wonderful things. Thank you again, and yet again my compliments to you and your work. P.S. I see you mentioned...

You are most welcome, and if anything you deserve far more than any praise I can give to your work. I didn't know you had built a titan before, may I ask what type? Warhound? Reaver? Warlord? Emperor? (Imperator or Warmonger?) As for researching all the little details, I completely...

Thank you for the welcome! I completely understand your preoccupation with other projects, I was saying "now do it again, but in half the time!" tongue-in-cheek, sadly the text doesn't carry the joking tone. :mrgreen: As to the upload you mentioned of the pattern(s), perhaps it was up at...

Wow, a lot to reply to, so much of my answers will be out of order from how they were asked :mrgreen: First off, a great resource I've found over the years for reference sake are places like: http://landcruiser.greyfalcon.us/ Under the link for the Maus, it also has some diagrams of...

Indeed, the experimental tanks and even fictional tanks, represented in World of Tanks make for a very interesting game with a lot of varied tanks and abilities. Some of them represented better than others, but that's a discussion for another time and place. Some of my favorites of the era...
