Title: While I was out
Post by: mikhael on August 13, 2005, 12:45:25 am: When I went to australia, I basically grabbed my laptop, some clothes and hopped on a plane. Being cooped up on a plane and then sitting in a hospital watching a relative sleep his way to health left me with plenty of free time to do stuff, so I decided to break out Lightwave. It is installed on my laptop, but I never use it there, because I generally only use the thing for work. I couldn't work on any projects because I didn't have any with me.

However, what I did have was a memory of game that I was playing a few months back (Front Mission 4). Here's the result of the time and effort: http://www.flickr.com/photos/404error/sets/745032/show/

For those who don't know, a Wanzer is Front Missions name for mecha. This is a work in progress. The Flickr slideshow there shows eight snapshots of the process. I've actually saved the file 31 times, so far, mostly with incremental changes, sometimes with radical changes. The missile launchers need reworking, as do the pelvis and parts of the torso (the belly guns especially). Enjoy.

And glad to hear that your dad(?) is well again. :)

I'm working on the missle pods (horizontal arrangement instead of vertical, sitting over the shoulder instead of mounting the shoulder, munitions hatches and exhaust venting rather than open faced and louvres).

As soon as I make signifigant progress I'll post another image.

Yes, I thought everyone knew[/b]

Which makes me wonder why your name is Mikhael. I always assumed it was a first name.

Very good Model there.

Post by: mikhael on August 19, 2005, 06:04:33 pm: Michael is my favoritest name in the whole wide world. My name was originally going to be Michael, but my mother changed her mind at the last moment and decided to name me after my father and my grandfather (Louis and Rafael, respectively, well technically LUIS, but the gringo doctor misspelled it despite my mother's warning not to misspell it because the gringo doctor that filled out my father's birth certificate misspelled it too).

So, I almost always use the name "Michael" or some variant (Mikhael being my favorite) for forum names if its available. My son will be named Miguel (perhaps Miguel Francesco, I don't know yet).

I've got the first draft of a 2x4 horizontal launcher done (with individual missile doors to boot!). Now on to detailing and the creation of the L-bracket.
