theres a little more to it than that... you will find if you null the tanks hull shaders it taks part of the treads with it

looks cooler but I thik you should move the treads a bit tighter in because they're kinda hanging off.

Remove the treads cover part. It looks really cool without it

Then skin the beast!

I thought the front treads were skis at first. So yes, I thought it was also a snow hog.

if you make it an all new vehicle and make a patch (for whatever map) i will skin it for you to make it look like a "snow hog"
i say do it for relic then make a snowy relic, i dont believe i have seen a snowy relic yet.

how will it move if the tires are too puny to move the 20 ton tank.

Because tires are awesome like that.
Actually I have no idea if it'll work or not.

it might work but you might wanna reduce the tanks weight by quite a bit.

yea that would work i could make the tires bigger to make it more realistic but im going away today so maybe another tlm member could do it
edit: a lot of people seem to think because im going away for a few weeks that ill let someone else skin it, its only 2 weeks im sure you can wait a little

I'm not sure people could wait that long. Even so, good job. I'll love to see the finished product.

A tank with tires would be easy. Null the hog's shaders except the tires. Swap it's turret to the tank. Break off the tank's treads. Do some positioning of the tank and the tires.
I don't think it'd look especially good, though. Also there's the issue where getting in the tank seat wouldn't let you drive the warthog and getting in the warthog seat wouldn't let you fire the tank turret. I guess you could just remove the turret from the tank and add it as an additional turret to the warthog, then reposition it to where it ought to be on the tank.

There are plentey of skinners on our team to do the job and I would gladely Volunteer to skin it.
Good Job X, Just move the front treads back and up a little bit .

or you can just give the warthog's horn the tank hlmt and remove the treads and position it a little.
