Couple o days ago I posted a pic of a so called "space tractor".
Didnt know for sure what it was, but as some of you guys pointed out, wheels sure would make it cooler.

Hence, I made a new version. Please crit me silly.
Not on the perspective tho, or the fact that I should be using a ruler :P

But any lighting hints are truly appreciated.

thanks, theo.

Mmmm... I'm not sure I like it... maybe I imagined your tractor not just with 4 big wheels (all the same in size an look) but some more... spicy!
Something like one big tractor wheel and two smaller for direction... don't know. :o

there is something weird about the width of the machine... maybe the space between wheels is too small... and for sure the exhaust tubes feels wrong, the left is ok, but the right one looks like if it is on the cockpit not at the same place as is the left one but in the right side. :(

Interesting feedback, no doubts. Ive tried other combinations of wheels, but in the long run, having two big fuckers really tight together definately gave it the heaviest look. and thats what I was after:)

But I'd really like to see your own remake of it some time:)

I do agree on the exhaust tubes, they feel kinda out of place.. But I just had to have em there!

I like that, if ZZTop were farmers, that is the tractor they would drive :)

over all i dig it, but tha wheels are all kinds of crazy. it looks like they could turn maybe two feet either way....
but then you could drive in big ass circles, and that would be kind neat
good work:D

I like the big wheels in front, but I suggest maybe just have one centered wheel in the back... it'll be able to turn better and can steer the tractor. Also, I think the exhausts are way to big (the thickness)
