Thanks Geordan! Yep, the 'success' of the colours on the "Wolf" pushed me to
use them again.


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.

Yep, the grey leg armour is also very angular like the new armour for the
Leoparg 2.


, and a bit from the American Abrams
M1A2).

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

Heh... :-)


- 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. :)

For sure... that rail gun is probably around 1.5 feet long. ;-D


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

Yeah, like the visual sensor units used by the Leclerc and M1A2.


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

Thanks again Geordan!


Keep it up

I'll definitely try!
