Model 3: Space Tank Part 2 of 3

          For my front design, I used box to make it. As you can see (Figure 1), I added more height to my box. This is because I wan to cover the flaws of the tank. When I put this object with Autogrid, it was not placed properly, maybe because the body of the tank was not flat. So I rotate and move the object.

Figure 2. Side design

          The side design took me a long time to make it. It is because of the angle of that part so I did a lot of rotating and moving the object. As shown in Figure 2, I added a rectangular shape object and made it into X-ray mode so that I could see the shape of the tank's body. With this method, it is easier for me to add edges using QuickSlice patterned to the body of the tank. I added more details on this design by slicing and extruding it (Figure 3).

           Unfortunately, there was a problem with this method. As you can see in Figure 3, the lower part of the side design is so messy. It is the outcome of extruding the polygon. In addition to that, there are gaps between polygons. To overcome this problem, I decided to move the vertices and cover the gap and I even deleted unwated polygons (Figure 4).

          I just realised that it would be much easier to delete the side polygons and then create new polygons using the Create option. This method might give me a neat outcome compared to what I have done. Anyway, I did not do it because of the effort I put when doing the messy method.
