Hey man, this looks awesome! I think I like it better than your other
platforms. This colour scheme works really well, it makes it feel very
militaryish, as these colors did on the wolf.

A couple of goals I had with this model:
- Create a mecha that looked tank-ish in nature (I got inspiration from the
French Leclerc, the German Leopard 1 & 2

Yeah I could tell you got inspiration from the Leapord without reading that.
;) I like it, it has the same "stretched turret" feeling as the leapord 2
(with added front armor) (1) which I really like.

, and a bit from the American Abrams
M1A2).

Did I just hear Mladen say "inspiration" and "Abrams" in the same sentence?! ;)

- Make the pilot cockpit/cabin blue, completely blue (because in real life
the interior colours of a vehicle are not always the same as the exterior).

This looks really cool. The blue looks really nice.

I really like the rail gun, it looks especially cool being off to the side
like that. It's so massive too! All the weapons are really cool though,
those 30mm guns are really nice, as is your trademark missile box. :)

I love the shape of the head/turret, it has such a good balance of round and
sharp edges. It looks very tankish.

Great job with this one Mladen, I think it's my favourite multi legged mecha
from you!

Keep it up
