High poly RV

This is a WIP of a high poly RV. Thought it would be good to get some suggestions and critiques.

Looks awesome so far. The only thing that I cannot unsee is that the massive bulldozer scoop is somehow operated by really, really tiny hydraulics. I would think that the structure of those hydraulics would be more robust to operate the massive weight of the scoop as well as the scoops mineral payload.

Looking good
Some things;
The horizontal lines are really intense, usually theyre pretty subtle
The rim spikes are too big and look unwanted funny, it dosnt help the proportions of your model
Also I think the scoop dosnt have a shape that compliments your truck, it just dosnt fit with the design and it dosnt look agressive. Maybe try a sharp train like scoop or just something more angular. Imagine the front as a head, you got the eyes the mouth, the expression it makes. Sounds stupid but kind of makes sense with cars.
If you look at it now, it rather resembles a fish with a open mouth, something not too bright ; ) Maybe the front window fortifications are a little problematic too , but thats only how it looks to me.

Edit:


I had something else in my mind as sterotypical train shovel, but I could imagine this looking very well
The 2-part form makes the vehicle a bit like a lance, some steel spikes on the bottom edge and youd have a zombie ram, but there are many nice ones from various vehicules

Edit2: Now that I think of it, you want to shovel them away, not load them in your scoop until its full and you have to stop because of the weight

Thanks for the suggestions/critiques. I really like the train ref. Im going to try the more angled piece for the front.

The angled piece makes more sense as if you are trying to get through, say zombies, you don't want to plow them. You want to brush them aside.
