oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Pretty! :jaw:
I like how the cockpit reflects. Ya know, what we need is a :faintdeadawayfromamazement: smily. :D
-
aaaaaah yeah, this torso is 1000 times better then the old one :)
two thumbs up, like this:
:yes2::D:yes:
-
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

How about :yes2:;7:yes: or :yes2::jaw::yes:

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.

YOU OVER-TILED THE GROUND TEXTURE!!!
There, I've got a specific complaint.:D

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

:jaw:
WOW... i LOVE MECHA!

Awesome work, dude. :)

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)

:lol: what do you think? I was teasing you, I don't know crap about BT :D , you probably know much more then me :p
Gee, the youngs are easily pissed off nowadays :p
-
With the mood I'm in today, yes.. easily pissed off....
You're not much older than me dude....

It's a protomech, of course :D

:bump:

hehehe:
you should add a " I love tuning " sticker somewhere :D
-
Add some details around the parts where the canopy touches the hull, it'll look better. Right now that's lokking kinda strange...
-

I like the shadows, and ground textures, and all. Very well done model and well detailed. :yes2::nod::yes:

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.
