Besides all that, if we ditch the wonky rotation point, all of the newbies are going to be completely lost when we start talking about Colossus baseball.  And we wouldn't want that, would we?

[Snail]

Though, from a purely personal perspective, I think the Colossus was a one-off, I don't see the GTVA building another one, but then, if the campaign is well written, no-one would care

Well there could be campaigns featuring the same Colossus, such as one on the NTF side or som'n.

personally i'd like to see something remotely HTL for the ship, it's not a very pretty ship to begin with, and truth be told it doesn't really show the vasudan influence in its design much either.. i think the hardest part is trying to keep the 'design ethic' intact, all the while making it look more than the proverbial squirtgun it appears to be.

good lord, i've been gone for far too long..

[Droid803]

Well, I don't know what became of that...I DO hope that it is still alive, and that it will be the upcoming MVPs as a surprise.

[Vasudan Admiral]

No sorry.

There are a few new surprises, but no Colossal ones. The massive amount of time and work involved in getting that model completely working in game from it's current state puts it well out of the running for the next MVP set.

I've actually started cleaning up some of the vertices on the head. It looks like it made heavy use of booleans, and as experienced modelers know it makes an absolute nightmare of the seams. I forsee great numbers of collision errors in our future.

i foresee that once it is game ready, the results will be EPIC

I foresee that when paired with the hairy, muscled Sathanas, people will fail Bearbaiting and High Noon in droves

You have my heartfelt sympathy. I'm just glad that at least you have the model, so it won't be lost in the depths of the forum or on the HDD of somebody who disappears like KARMA's nice WIP version of the Colossus.

[chief1983]

Lots of people probably have the model.  I have the model.  My mom has the model (I happened to d/l it at her computer at one point too).

oho?.. got a shot of el hirsute Sathanas?

[Vasudan Admiral]

There are a couple in this thread from this post onwards.

Also, good to see you around again Turnsky.

[Commander Zane]

I FREAKING WANT THOSE!!!
