I also have made glass for the cockpit and the gun model is done with textured muzzleflash ready (note: read tutorial 3 if you have not been into gun making before). | Put the "gunboat" folder with content in the bulldozer dir and open it in o2.

| As you can see, Geometry LOD is all done (because this was learned in lesson 1, remember?). For Fire Geometry, i just duplicated the content in Geometry just so that we have it. But this is not important for this lesson anyway. Also, Hitpoints is missing. We dont do that either, waste if time. For more info about fire geometry and hitpoint lod, see tutorial 4 (helicopter).
