Finally got around to rendering and taking photos of my Tarantula mechs.
They're based on a design by Primus BuS (don't know his real name). His
latest version is here:
Mine are quite a bit less sophisticated, intended for
mass-(real-brick)production. They use the new cylinder hinges instead of
bricks and the rounded SW canopy rather than the angular click hinge one,
giving it a more streamlined (IMO) look. I built two versions, a
Dropship-ready one and a standard one with a bit more firepower. I'm
thinking of adding missiles in a later version.
