Found some time to work on some personal stuff. Tiger I Late Production and Early Production variants, respectively.

same here!
Awesome work dude!
Forms are all solid and it looks real accurate. Great work.
What is this "tanks" you speak of?
Needz to be baked down. Nao~!
Anyway you know I'm a fan looks like sehx, blah blah.
The End.
Sometimes; for this Tiger I reused the steel road wheels for the Late Production variant from a SturmTiger model I did a while ago, but apart from that they were essentially made from scratch. I honestly don't like reusing meshes from previous models, unless time constraint is a factor.
Some wirez, lol:
The polycount is a bit over 15 million polygons on the Late Tiger, the Early Tiger is in the 11-12 million range; the 'red dirt' effect was achieved in Photoshop by adjusting the hue/saturation of the original rendered image.
they are scultped in mudbox.
Damn. With the thought out placement and all. I was thinking he'd uvmapped the main body and height mapped 'em on in PS or something. Good details.
Good work Paul
I have two questions!
- first, how did you achieve that dirt effect on this render ?

I can see a few ways to do it, but I am curious about yours :P
(i'd personally render a screen space normals pass, feed it to crazybump, and use it as a mask for a 2d dirt layer. But how did you do it?)
- second! What the plan with that model? If it is for a game ... I think you spent some HOURS on things that could be achieved more efficiently. But if it's for some kind of movie quality rendering ... I want to see crazy lit renders!!!
The render setup was just an Omni+Skylight with Scanline render. The Omni had a orange-red hue to it, the Skylight had a richer blue hue. The Dirt effect was essentially achieved in Photoshop by adjusting the Levels and Hue/Saturation. The different colors of the Late/Early Tiger renders was also achieved with Hue/Sat adjustment.
Currently it's just a high poly exercise, though originally I wanted to make it for a game engine; I do agree with you that if this was being made strictly for a game it could have been created more efficiently. If this was simply intended to go into a game and if the Hi-Poly model of was no consequence, I would do alot less HiPoly modeling and generate the majority of the normal map detail from height maps, since the difference between a hi poly bake and height map>normal generation would have been negligible on an asset like this.
