Here's a few ingame pics of the APU. (No texture, no normal maps, nothing.. just naked geometry)

There's some strange geometry errors, and messed up smoothing groups, bla bla! Just try and ignore all that for now.

we wont have interiors e-freak!

thanks guys!

Scale can be changed in the editor in a few seconds, so I'm not really worried with that.

Here's a very quick High Poly attempt for the APC, I still wanna add a few more details but I'm gonna call it a day.

It's far from being perfect, the normal map has a few errors, but i can't keep on working on this piece forever, gotta move on.

Here's another small prop, It's a background vehicle.
