Hi Danny,

It is small, but also very functional. The design speaks of utility. I
suppose the simple colour scheme also adds to the utilitarian feel of
it.

This is exactley what I was going for. Everything started with the idea of those
very functional legs. Only rotational articulation in them.

I find I think of a wasp more than a ranger - perhaps "stinger" would
haev been a good name for this mech. I note it also has a jump pack
(or what looks like one), furthar adding to the concept of a wasp or
bee...

Thanks for your tips on nameing. It's always a hard piece of work for me to find
a good name in english. Translation doesn't work quite often.

Believe it or not, when I read your suggestions on the name I nearly was going
to change it. But then I thought it'll be better to keep those names in mind for
further projects.

I am definately pleased to see the cockpit there. I have not quite got
to adding cockpits into a mecha yet. The crazed - trigger happy face
on the pilot is quite scary though.


He's just looking for some fun out there...

Nice one Marco

Thanks again, Danny.

Try a cockpit on your next one. It's not that hard to do.¬
Marco
