update on the 3D CAD tanks i'm. working on
Hi all
I have done a little more work on the Tiger 1 here are some pics.
(see previous post for the other tanks I am working on)

Looks good, but there are already lots of tigers that one can buy in all sorts of scales.
Better to spend your time on models that have not yet been produced in RC such as the Cromwell.

I basically did the tiger as a scale and accuracy check for fixing any discrepincies in the HL Tiger.
Alsofor anyone how needs a accurate drawing with dimensions in any scale they need.

I think the drawings are pretty cool.
Did you create each part as a solid model?
The overall assembly looks great. I have been trying to model track links, no luck so far.
I have found that if you export the soild model as an .stl file it is printable on a 3D printer.

I created all the models in Unigraphics NX6, I can export them to DXF/DWG or as a parasolid.
They are full 3D CAD models and take quite a long time to create.
Tracks are very complex, for example I havethe left and right tracks for the A34 Comet modeled
and added all the fillets and radiusus, bad idea the files are HUGE and lock up my computer if I
try to shade them. So I have to go back and remove the fillets and radiusus on 110 x 2 track links.
If you are interested in a DWG OR DXF file PM me and we can work out a deal.

Pm sent.
I am not up on the program that you are using.
have found that win7 with a quad processor is much better for the rendering.
With a better graphics card I hope to do full shading while rendering, like anything else that will have to wait for a bit.

Good to see there are other CAD monkeys out there that share the same interest. I was raised on AutoCAD, used UG, but have specialized on ProE since 95. All are great tools. I have done my share of tank modeling too. You'll find that you can never get enough technical information. Here is some recommendations other than the collection of books you'll eventually aquire.
For the Tiger 1 you need to hit David Byrden's site Tiger1.info.
or http://www.tigertank-h-e-181.com Tad has excellent documentation all on CD's.
