Looks like its in an arena of some sort.... and it seems that firing missiles from its shoulder-mount would almost tip the mech over.... but otherwise nice

Its pretty, but it doesnt look too practical...
Big cockpit = easy target = dead pilot

Not bad, for a starter.

Long exposure to exclusively space environments usually makes it hard to get into other fields, I've noted, but you seem to have done pretty well transitioning to surface environments.

Aft venting is all you need to solve that. Look at the rocket pods on modern helicopters. They're built this way to prevent the kickback from affecting the helicopter's flight dynamic. A mech missile pod should use the same thing.

do you think that the cockpit is actually big or do you think that its just the mech is small?  i vote the second and in which case, it would be rather hard to hit with its small size and presumabley speedyness.

It looks a bit fragile but very detailed and also non-symmetrical; I really like it. :yes2::nod::yes: Love those pistons; they look just like the Lego pneumatic pieces. ;7

Assuming those missiles are the same size as the BT ones, then its a big cockpit. That missile rack would be the same size as a Timberwolf's.

you miss the obvious fact that this is clearly not a battletech design :p You point out ridiculous details like the size of the missiles (and there's all kinds of missiles of any size anyway, and you forget to compare to the minigun etc), and you don't even notice battle mechs never have this organic style? I give you 2/20 on BT knowledge :p

Notice how I said "Assuming" in there..
Yeah..
Assuming they arent the same size, then it can be anything....
It was just an observation..
And I dont care what you think I know about BT..
I know what I know, and thats all that matters... (and its quite a damn bit more than 2/20)

Add some details around the parts where the canopy touches the hull, it'll look better. Right now that's lokking kinda strange...

Lose the guns; it'd make a fantastic civvie model, but is WAY too delicate-loooking for combat. I mean, I could cripple that thing with a .45 just by shooting through that mesh and jamming the hip joint. Looks better as a civilian thing anyway: military stuff squarish, civvie stuff roundish- it's tried and true, and it works quite well.
