Maybe this is futuristic enough for you, an heavily armed helicopter that can move troupes ( not textured ).

But this kind of models cost 1500 poly's triangled, and a lot of texture work.
And making the UV map :shock:  

 :wink:

Holy hell, that's an attractive model, sitters. We'd be ecstatic to have that UVed and textured on our maps.

[EDIT] Just one change I'd recommend, is changing those landing . . . things into more ordinary landing wheels. Struts generally aren't very good for landing on, especially in something as movable and unstable a helicopter. That's why they tend to use skis (for light copters) and wheels (for heavy copters).

Thanks, everybody.

OK I make an normal landing gear, UV-ed and skin it.
It cost some time to do it ( I have also an busy real life , for making an living ).
And I think the texture comes 1024X1024, to make the details OK.
If you like it when ready, I make more of this stile futuristic models.

Very nice model. A shame that the texture is tiled so heavily. Is there anything you can do to fix that, or do you want to submit it as-is?

I think the problem is the camo features are too small. Try just enlarging the texture and angle it so we can't easily see the repeating bits.

Today I was planning to make an fast an simple model, but it was more time consuming  then I thought ;)

But I finish it, you can maybe use this for making an military camp.

It is an simple tent.

The idea of alien tanks doesn't fit into the storyline, unfortunately. The aliens don't engage in open ground warfare, so they'd have no possible use for a full-size tank. Even a small tank would be useless when they can build autonomous flying robots and Bloodspiders, both of which are much more manoeuvrable and suitable to UFO:AI's urban combat and small maps.
