I really like the small changes you made, Zac. The AA guns are awesome, and look like they can depress to engage ground targets, which is what AA guns do most of the time when they’re not firing skywards. The missile pod is great as well, though I wish the missiles stood out a bit more. Finally, I think the legs are what really sell this mecha; they look sturdy and powerful.

Hope to see more!

Thanks Mladen. Yeah your tips helped me to put just the right finishing touches. The AA guns I love too (even more than the rocket pod yet funnily enough the guns were a lot less effort) and they do depress to about -5 degrees although the body of the tank can also further depress enough to even paste any infantry getting too close for comfort!

Missiles stand out more? Is most of the purpose of a missile pod to keep the rockets protected or are they simply launching mechanisms? I was deliberately going for the ‘protected’ missile look because honestly I was getting sick of everyone just tacking 1x1 cones onto a brick to represent missiles.

Yeah I love those legs - the hub on the lower leg is my favourite.

Who knows - now that I’ve refined my mech building abilities a bit I may just have to use them to build some more. Walking fortress anyone ;)

Something tells me that a battlesuit is next on the list as its one challenge that I have yet to conquer.......

Thanks again for the advice,

Zac
