    It's boxy and boring. It's not a good contraption.

    Saw that on the server. It's not bad. Could use some improvements though.

    For being a first contraption it's really good but for being a good contraption it misses a lot of details and proportions are off.

    The seats are half way trough the floor too

    Edit:

    Fill in gaps and make the seats actually fit in it and making your own engine out of props instead of using an engine model makes it more original :]

    I actually quite like it, ... apart from the turret.

    My numbr 1 way 2 spot a n00b is that they must stick a turret ON EVERYTHING

    Will do. I will probably fix the changes. About the seats, its like that because of the view. But I will fix it. :)

    Beats my first contraption to a pulp. (a pathetic hoverball chopper)

    The turret kinda kills it though. I like the clean one!

    The shape is alright but it looks like it isn't finished yet. Spend more time on details and clean up the holes. (and delete the turret version).

    Change material and make the ropes and elastics invisible. Instead make a fake suspension of props, The tf2 props have 2 good springs you could use.

    It's ok. I'd say that it probably works well, but just isn't entertaining to the eyes. I lol'd at the poll.

    It's good for a first contraption. No interior though, when you can plainly see inside it. and no ugly cannons on top, Please =p

    I place weaponry on everything that I make, it doesn't make me a noob. The turret on this thing does look pretty out of place, though.

    Quite good now, the roof looking wider than the rest of body does ruin it quite a bit.

    Do you know about gm_snapdegrees? If you do, great, If you don't, Then, well it makes building cars and shit easier.

    It basically sets the angles you rotate stuff with the physgun while holding shift.

    Just type gm_snapdegrees angle in the console.
    So like: Gm_snapdegress 22.5.
    or 11.25 or 6.625.
