My first ever 3d model... Please tell me what you think :)

This is my first 3d model, I really want you opinions, on what to improve and I also want suggestions

The nice looking tank is the scorpion tank from Generals, I put it there so I could compare mine to it, then I took the screenshots when it was there, so that's why it is in the pics

I haven't exported this tank from gmax, and I'm not sure I will be able to do any textures, I don't think I want to export it anyway.. But please come with suggestions, comments and ideas!

Sees first image - :tard:
Sees second image -

Looks good. The problem with most of these models is that thay never get skinned. Will you be the same?

Its a missile launcher, and skinning, I hope I will do so, when I learn how to texture it

I haven't done that neither... So when texturing it will be my first, but I think I want to make some changes to it...

Do you think it is worth texturing?
Please more comments!

It is worth texturing.

Looks very nice, I recommend giving it a fire animation (since missiles are in its turret and visible) or make an unloaded version of it (as in after it fired). Other than that all it needs is a skin and you have yourself a very good model.

The back-side could use some spicing up, put some useless little bits there, like a gas tank or something.

Other than that, very nice first model. My first model was a poor attempt at making a cube, don't ask how I screwed up making a cube, just don't ask.

Thanks for your comments! I will spiff up the back a little

But not until I'm home from skiing vacation. I have started to learn how to skin, so within 2-3weeks I will probably have a model imported into the game, I hope so though lol.
