Thanks for the feedback. Im working on several issues on the model right now.

1. The roof is too high

2. SG problems on the corners of the front and on the hood

3. The rear of the cabin is littlebit thinner on the top of the rear

AND the front must be as you said shorter but that comes after the reconstruction of the front of the car.

If you need any more Refs Kovanaama, pm me mate.

Roger that robbo.

Sneak peek:

Made the front corners again so that it goes more smoothly. SG:s are easier to make and it helps texturing progress.

strima · 2013-10-03, 20:46

Much better.

BTW if your up for it, something we could really do with which you could possibly make at the same time is the Snatch Land Rover for the Brits to replace our "Support Land Rover" Place Holder

Hmmm... why not. Do you have more refs of interior?

They also do a 110 CAV100 Enhanced protected vehicle, you would have to check with rhino though i guess to see which one he wants? I think they have more seats in the back of them.

Anything else?

Awesome

TBH I don't know too much Snatch, strima I'm sure will know pretty much everything about them but here's what I know/understand, hopefully strima will correct me on any points that are incorrect

Basically there are two main types of Snatch that we need.

The "Snatch-1" which is the old version originally deployed to Iraq and early Afghanistan which has very little in the way of armour and is the basic model. Think the main visual difference is just that it doesn't have the Electronic IED Counter Measures on the front which are those two boxes you see sometimes.

Then the "Snatch-Vixen" which is the most recent version which has more armour, drivetrain enhancements for a higher GVW as well as a "300 Tdi" diesel engines and air conditioning and of course the Electronic IED Counter Measures.

So not sure what visual differences there really are between the two other than the ECM boxes but hopefully stimia might help there

Main thing is that each version has a little hole in the roof with, what I think bullet proof glass around it which one or two guys can turn out of and shoot their rifles out at targets as well as seating in the rear

Also need it in Right Hand Drive, hopefully shouldn't be too hard to convert your model to RHD, just mirror the interior setup and then mirror the UVs on parts like the dash board etc

My SNATCH in Afghan was called Dirty, because everyone loves a dirty snatch...

Visually, as Rhino pointed out, the bodies are very similar so no point going overboard. Internally on both there is a heavy black canvas/plastic screen between the drivers cab and the rear body, I'll try and dig out some photos.
