M109A6 Paladin by Soul_Assassin, NouberNou and rexehuk

UPDATE! Version 1 has been released! Get it here.

I've made this model quite a while ago but with all the priorities at RHS its just been lying around and I decided its time to finally bring it ingame. Since this is a personal (maybe one more person will come aboard later) project, I am going to be uptodate with the news, since I have no reservations about showing WIP stuff :) Here it is:

So far the turret has been uvmapped, but somehow this time I overdid abit on the details, there are an insane amount of things to uvmap :s

can't wait to crash it and whatnot.

looking awesome, can't wait to see even just the uv maps lol

geeze man.... thats a pretty model!

Keep up the good work

here you go

Woooh, this looks really sweeeeet. Such an amount of details, it's almost insane :eek:

Could be cool to have those texture ingame, for special occasion like a wedding or disco party :D

The first thing I'm going to do when I get this is jump into the editor, place myself in the Paladin as driver, and crash it as fast as I can into a mountain. :D

I came home from the pub tonight with the question in my head "what shall I beat off to tonight?" thanks for the answer.

I wish I were that good a modeling/ extracting info from reference images. Life would be so much easier for me. Good job. Can't wait to crash some poor bastards' party from miles away, and then road trip to check the damage with this thing.

Looking good Soul.

Good luck with the rest of it.

Oh very nice Soul :)

is this newest Paladin? it looks like it

Great models. And the 1985-ChessDisruptive pattern is spot on :P

nice pala alex. let me know if you want help :).

I am gonna be doing uv mapping myself the few days anyways (will post a pic of smth similar laters on)

Outstanding job!

You get back to your BTR-T, pufu. >:|

Looks really nice, good luck.

Funky, few days ago i was thinking about this model and how it seemed wasted after Project 85 in its old shape stopped ( offcourse back then it was a more 85s fitting version with less details ) to exist and now i see this.

Great work Alex.

lol...I wish this were Facebook so that I could 'Like' this comment.

Great work, Soul Assassin! The first pic didn't require a lot of imagination at all to see what the real thing would look like.

Great model! very well made. Looking forward to this.

Nice work Soul, It looks fantastic. The detail is great

Now we just need some1 to make a 2S19 MSTA-S and the artillery wars can begin

Definately the best game paladin I've ever seen..the detail is crazy especially on the cannon lock. Will you be adding the M2 and in the future and tweaking the model for a Paladin Integrated Management version?

Really great modelling job, nice UV-Spread. Looking forward to it !

I might get motivated to finish my MSTA to balance such a nice unit:

2S19 MSTA

This model looks superb but i wouldn't want to uvmap it, looking at the insane amount of details ;)

Whoa~! I'm very glad to see you having picked that up! How long's it been already since you last touched it?
