July 2024: #1 IFV Rattler

Added 2024-07-07 20:15:11 +0000 UTC

Hello everyone!

The holidays ended too quickly, but there’s nothing to be done :) So, I present to your attention the first July release - IFV Rattler. This combat vehicle is designed to deliver infantry to the attack line and further support it with the fire of its guns.

As you can guess, this is my slight rethinking of the galaxy-famous APC used by the guard regiments of Humanity. I changed the dimensions of the hull, made the vehicle a little lower, changed the ramps and doors, the gun carriage and the gun itself. And all sorts of other little things. By the way, the free model from Cults3D ("space troop transport" by Deltax) was taken as a basis, the scales and dimensions are approximately the same.

The model is divided into a hull, a chassis with tracks (right and left), a turret with a gun (the hatch is also a separate part: there is a closed one and one with the commander of the vehicle sticking out), bar armour, barrels, canisters, boxes with ammunition - also made in separate parts, so that it is convenient to paint (or not use).

In addition, four infantrymen can be seated on top if there is no room for them inside of the IFV (or they are afraid to remain inside if the vehicle is hit or blown up). Each one consists of two parts. In theory, they should be placed on the armor approximately as in the picture, but feel free to use your creativity.

Files with supports will be available a little later as usual. The next release will be in 10-12 days.

Good luck and see you soon!
