Hello all,

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.

Why I like this design

This is why I call it the Dropship version

It has steps and an opening canopy
