Jason... Firstly, thanks for the compliments, but they are unecessary. :-)
|
au contraire, mon capitan! compliments are definately in order...you are
about half my age and your skill is twice that of mine. i am humble to say
the least.
|
:-)

Secondly, this multiped mecha seriously pwns (meh I play too many FPS
shooters).
|
i play fps shooters as well, but i have no idea what pwns means. please fill
me in.

Heh... Well the story goes that some dudes were playing Quake and accidentally
typed pwned, when they wanted to say owned, as in “I owned (bested) you!”
BTW, I play:
I wanted to get XIII and Call of Duty, but I hear the multiplayer aspects
for each is lacking (i.e. sucks). I think I’ll just stick to mods for now,
before investing in original FPS. The demos for XIII and CoD were enough for me.
:-)
As for singleplayer... well I got bored of Medal of Honour: Allied Assault
like half-way through, but it was still one of the best single-players FPS ever.
Anyways... here’s looking forward to Half-life 2!

Aside from being a homage to my work, what really struck me as great about
this MOC is how so much of your “style” infiltrated into it. It’s a
wonderful, and very original (IMHO) piece of work.
|
come to think of it, it does reflect my style. it uses the same chain gun and
rockets on my rotgeist.
|
Yep.
| |
| |
Now let’s get on to what rules:
1) The weapons are beautiful. From the multi-barreled rotary guns to the
copious missiles, it’s apparent this mecha is ready for some serious combat.
The anti-personnel machine guns fore and aft are nice too.
|
got the anti-personnel guns idea from you, sport!
| |
2) The central ladder, cockpit, and engine compartment add a flair of realism
to this already quite reasonably thought out model.
3) My personal favourite---> the sensors on the top! Yeah the black “head” is
nice, but the IR-illuminator / searchlight below, harkens back to the old
days of military hardware (WWII they were conceived, 1950s/60s they were
commonplace on tanks). Very cool.
|
again, a tribute to your sensor pods.
|
Heh, thanks.
| |
| |
My only suggestion is quite simple: angle the legs steeper, so as to make the
mecha taller and thus more menacing.
|
it originally started off that way, but i decided to make it lower to the
ground thus making it more stable (lower center of gravity)
|
Ah, I get it.
| |
| |
Anyways, you’ve really impressed me with this model. I just love how you took
the multiped mecha concept, and grafted your own ideas onto it. The result is
a fully realized mecha that “works” largely due to good design and absence of
greebles (which is just chaff after all).
|
wow! i thought the lack of greebles made it too plain-looking. that’s what i
like most about your tanks--the details make it more realistic.
|
Yeah, but I guess it’s all a matter of taste. When I first started builded I
worried a lot about making my stuff very cool, and fancy, but now I’m beginning
to look at my models more critically. I want my stuff to look functional, and
robust, not just littered with useless greebles.
