Director...  In general, your vehicular designs are very cool.  I liked the profile of the Flea, the gatling cannons & light array on the Scorp.  I thought the Hyrdra's back half was outstanding, the tilting weapons system was spot-on, but the cab and tires were a little uninspired.  They maybe need fenders, or to be swtiched out for tracks or something.  Maybe put the cab on one side instead of centered.  My clear favorite of the vehicles was the Overseer... the engine array was well done.   My big complaint about all your vehicles is that they succumb to a tragic and all to common (imho) flaw.  Sure, you make these impressive, well thought out and designed,  big armored death-machines, and then encase the precious and fragile operator in a bubble of glass.  I know, its probably an uber-material like transparent steel or something, but for me it kills the aesthetic, and those kinds of claims are very convenient.  Again, imho.  Cool vehicles, but I think everyone knows where to shoot to take them out. Also, this criticism doesnt apply to the Overseer as much as the others.

That said, for me, the hidden gem in all your postings was this:

one tower of the Seawall Project

This tower is quite an achievement Anthony.  It really captures an original
look.  I love the asymmetry of the design... the small bunker-like observation
window, detail peices like the yellow/black stripes, The gun design is solid,
but not overbuilt, and what I assume is a sensor array on top.  I would like to
know what your overall idea is for the Seawall Project, it really captured my
imagination.
