I don't check out the fan creations very often, but when I do there is always some amazing stuff here, you definitely have some MAD SKILLS making 3d meshes, thx for showing your work!

O just a quick note on the stl version of the file, It seems to have a lot of incomplete or just corrupted pieces, might want to check that file just in case its just me. The obj file i had no issues with i just converted it to stl in blender . The STL doesnt register well in my 3d printing program though.

that sucks. I'm glad you were able to get around it, and I'll try to have a look at it again soon and see what might have gone wrong.
what software are you opening it in?

Using up plus program to just pop it in to check it but it reigsters very poorly but importing/ export file type from blender to up plus works beutifully for fixing the issue. other than that the flea is rdy to print i just to need to clean up another board and press start XD this one will be about the size of the crab i just printed cuz u kno i like seeing all the lil details u put on them XD

if u get the chance wanna choose the color scheme for the flea?

I've not given much thought to alternate colours for the Flea.
I'd say the colour from the concept art is good (it's 114r145g166b).
trying a few quick variations, I've somewhat grown accustomed to the blue.

[Tordin]

Supernecro!

This makes me want it even more, the torture!! So what, even if it is similar to the Locust. There are people wanting it, make it into some kind of combo pack, whatever. I sure want to buy it

[Agent Cooper]

So I downloaded the file and I can print it at Shapeways for like $50 bucks. Good deal, thanx.

[CK16]

You know, he has the model done already, the concept art is done....Why dont they just add it with 3 variants for MC then CBills and call it good? They do not need a preorder for this mech IMO, but should in good faith just release it into the game..

Recently, I was contacted by someone who had printed a few of these up.
They kindly sent me one, and today I managed to finish painting it.
I thought about the blue/grey, but ended up going with the Fire Ant colours from Mechcommander 2.

Any chance of the Flea making it into the game? We need more 20 and 25 tonners.

Also it looks good.

I agree, Mark should model a Firemoth in his spare time and have it accidentally slip into the game.

This line of reasoning fails to account for all the other parts of mech creation, and the other people who work hard to do it all.
I have a feeling people might be slightly disappointed in a mech that didn't have any animation, textures, skins, a cockpit, loadouts, weapons, and everything else.

Awww, don't dash my hopes like that!

Nicely done, suddenly I feel a little embarrassed I haven't painted mine yet

It's ok, that's how I felt until yesterday when I started in earnest.

I advocate light mechs when I can.

Stinger
Wasp

They need to happen Mr. Nicholson, the two most common light mechs in the IS... They'd also be the first 20t humanoid jumpers in game.... They also share art assets with each other and the Phoenix Hawk.....

[Zoeff]

Hah nice, must be pretty cool to get a mech you made 3D printed and sent to you.

[Luscious Dan]

There's some fan-made Stinger, Wasp and Valkyrie renders that I've seen (based on heavily modded Phoenix Hawks) and they turned out fantastic. Crusader as well. If I get around to painting mine I'll be posting pics some place I'm sure

Huh.... well, if a K9 shows up at my door, I won't complain!

I could go for a Scorpion.

But we could at least use it as a cockpit item, right?
