Very nicely done.

Only critique (and it's purely an opinion) is to me it looks very massive, more like a Marauder II, than a Marauder.
Other than that, seeing something in the space behind the shoulders ....it jsut feels a little blank there.


Other than that.... it's pretty dang good!

I think the torso beneath the cockpit, above the hip/torso rotating mount needs to be built up some. If you look at the marauder concept made by Shimmering-Sword and Sentinel373, you can see that the torso tapers down to the hip rather than being essentially flat underneath.

I think this is important for giving the illusion of a more "open" or lighter looking frame. Perhaps use a slice of the Stalker's lower torso structure from immediately above the hip rotor mount to lift the torso up.

Also, it seems you are going with the externally fit, centreline AC. If so, I think you should add the two pod-like side torso ellements, perhaps replacing the Catapult sides showing behind the arms.

Looks good so far, I'm interested to see where you go with this design

Nice work! I like how it's a bash of a few mwo mechs I see in there. One thing I could care to metion is making the top cannon mount wider, to cover more area of the chassis. Right now it looks a little undersized in comparison to the rest of the mini.

...Also how the heck did you do that in Sketchup? Do you have the full version (I am using the free and can't figure out how to do round cockpits like that).

its not so hard. I have a sphere and resize it like i want.

Good idea, thanks a lot. Working on it.

Really great. The nose is off somehow, maybe to wide, and the top cannon may as well move into the chassis a bit more. Looks great I hope something similar is in game some time.
