Greetings all!


So, without further rambling I present to you, The Talon!

You're so kind to your mech pilots, giving them a way to climb in and out of the
cockpit!  A well-armed mech, maxing out the medium weight class tonnage, this
looks like one I'd pick to play in a video game (when do we get a MW5?  It's
been forever since MW4.)

I like those feet, without the rear "toe", these would make good Daishi feet.
Improvements in your technique abound--careful reduction of unnecessary studs
and slots, tighter colors, a more natural stance/pose, nice aggressive
proportions.  I also like the Alpha Team targeting screen mounted inside of the
cockpit--a nice touch of realism and extra effort.

I like the sand blue, too.  I'd suggest, with this particular scheme, sprinkling
in a few yellow highlights--grill tiles, missile warheads, or maybe one solid
armor section.  Soren did a sand-blue fighter with yellow highlights a while
back and it looked pretty sweet.  (Not that I'm suggesting you revise the Talon,
'cuz I rarely do that myself after posting, but just a suggestion if you use
those colors again).

Greetings all! Just finished my latest Battlemech. I don't usually build them so close together, but the creative urge hit me again. I had to run with it, and yes, I freely admit I am obsessed with triangles at the moment! As per usual, the stats (...)
