Since I can't be bothered to do loads of animating stuff I'm just using alpha in blades and make it look like they're whirring.
WoW! Ausome!! I can't wait to see that thing textured. That would make a great sky dome model in a earth map.

The helicopter looks super sweet, the only new thing I want to see is a bigger propeller.

Also, this is something I just finished...

Great start for a beginner Hamster :)

I like that you got the UVs working a bit.. It seems like your texture is what we see in the pic.. Is that a good guess? If so, you can improve the texture A LOT while keeping the UVs :D

I think he does.. and he probably doesn't use it because it generally looks like crap XD

Hamster.. I'll try to make YJJ do it, lol. You probably already know the best argument to make YJJ do something.. :P

Lol don't worry guys i persuaded YJJ in like 2 mins. Making a tank now :D. The map me and YJJ (if he is bothered to do anything) is a earth style map but the rest is a secret, though it does involve drug smuggling ;).
Anyway the tank model I'm doing so far:

I agree the cannon looks a bit weird but otherwise it looks great. The treads look very realistic. Can't wait for you to put the texture on. :D

Thx for good feedback guys :P If any of you wana UV it just ask. Anyways, finished it now :D the UVs hard because the treads are merged on to the whole body and i cant move them properly so i can have a good cubic projection :(. I'd be happy to lets some else get a good UV on cus it's to many polys for YJJ to UV (1000+).

Anyways final pic:
