Oky, so it has been some time that I actually made something, so why not kick of with a bang.

The Mektek Super Nova will be coming soon, and it will be a goody. 200+ parts should make for a fun lengthy build and very detailed.

Watch this space for updates.

Tabletop and original TRO version sucked. But the MW3 version looked amazing! Absolutley love it! (it and the Annihilator were my mechs of choice in MW3)

BLaaR,
I think that pilot's sitting place in cocpit needed to move higher. Pilot will not see anything in battle

And may be gun barrels make rounded. not gnarly. It more easy to build and look better!

Lemme see what I can do with the cockpit. When I made it I never thought about pilot view.

As for the barrels, I generally do not modify the in game model, but I suppose I could make those barrels more round since this is such a high detail model after all.

I will make the changes and post back again.

Thanks for the input.

I'll wait finish your work)

May be will test this model in first.

How long are you going to work on it?

Well, the model is being beta built at the moment. The progress can be followed here :

I will update the model with the round parts and new cockpit within this week

If you want to beta build it too, let me know and I can send you the PDO file.

Now I have a lot of work and I must wait for the final version.

Another question. Textures will be?

I'm not good at it, and paint colors is not possible.

What do you think?

[BLaaR]

I have updated the model with the rounded barrels. Next to follow a reworked cockpit. I had some input asking why I put led's at the back of the cockpit, so I will prob remove that too. Seems like I am building a new cockpit from scratch.

As for textures, currently the model is using 3 TGA's which are 512x512 in resolution. One for the torso, one for the arms and one for the legs / feet.

I am hoping that the high res textures will show up, but I am still waiting for them. So lets hold thumbs.

As for paint colors, you can easily make your own by using the TGA's. I always give them with my models. If you do not know how to add camo's to the TGA I will gladly make a short posting on how to do it. Really easy.

Perfect!

May be I can help you with cocpit?

When I designed pilot cabin to Daishi for prototype was aviation cocpit. The most nearest example I think.

I can find some photos or draw any pictures about that. Or some autoCAD drawings (if you will send model to me).

I lifted the the whole cockpit up, and re-did everything in side.

Hope it is better now :

Very very cool,

i´m now for sure that i will build this monster. (But i wait till you get the highres tgas or CMOSturm makes something )

[BLaaR]

Another member over at mech3.org is busy BETA building this.

Legs and part of the hips are done.

[Agent Cooper]

NICE!

[BLaaR]

Finally done, my limited skills let me down as usual but hopefully good enough that some one will actually build a see through cockpit.

Good job!

Waiting high res texture...

And I'm in deal!

[BLaaR]

Well the beta is coming along nicely thanks to andersonmr34 who is building this mech very well. His skill is spot on. Some updated progress pics posted by him.

Cockpit


Looking spectacular with the cockpit closed. The blue window was a great idea.

What? That cockpit is sick! Also arm-guns look amazing.

[TheTeacher]

Well done BLaaR! I see another plastic mech in the future!

[BLaaR]

And we have SuperNova in the field. I will update the post once I uploaded the paper plans:)

Still hoping for the high res textures but at his point of time I think they may never show up. At least this model uses 3 x 512 textures where as all the other MW4 mechs uses only 1 x 512 texture.

Thanks to andersonmr34 who did a fantastic job building the beta.

[a rabid chihuahua]

very nice! /thumbs up*

[Grzly]

Awesome!
I wish they added Supernova as it was my favourite mech!
