Just use milkshape for this, it's much easier. Select all vertices of one tire at a time, and use the scale button. Do it for each tire of each model. Look thru all the WH models cuz some of them are mislabeled as to which part of the hog they are.

If you want to cheat, you can just download floodgulch and extract the models from there... :wink:

Ya there you go. I also made a huge gun turret for the rocket hog I did for Flood Gulch, I don't care if you use that as well.

The wavefront plugins for Milkshape? Just download a trial of the newest version, 7.1 I think, it has it built in.
