Jeep

Now its time to do something a little more complex. Something that has several parts to it, rather than just one. Start with some wheels (tires plus hubcaps), vaguely bucket seats, a chassis, and a windscreen. Add a somewhat unusual accessory for the average office worker, a rocket launcher, and you have the perfect start for a jeep. Don't forget some spare ammo. After shooting off one rocket launcher, the next thing you obviously want to do is to do it again. And a few more times. Boom baby!

The tire treads were interesting to make, the hubcaps pretty easy. The seats were again based on cubes, rounded around the edges, with some seams added in. And the body of course is cube-based, but took a lot of steps to make it into a full chassis. And added a small bevel on all the edges so it didn't look quite so blocky. The windscreen is probably a bit too reflective, way to glarey for actual driving in any sort of safe manner. Then again, with a rocket launcher on the back, safety is not exactly a high priority.

You could spend ages on something like this, adding all the details that would make it more realistic. A spare tire on the back, grill on the front, head-lights, tail-lights, steering wheel, rear-view mirrors, fenders, roll-cage, or sorts of stuff. But then who has that sort of time? I settled with adding sights on the launcher.
