If you recall sometime ago i had made a Scorpion's model, which was like the very first 3d model i've had ever made, so it had a lot of rough edges and even though it was finished, i was not wholly satisfied with how it turned out. (For some reason, i can't find the original thread for it, ever since PGI messed with the forums and moved the Fan Art page here).
So, over the last few weekends i decided to mess around with it. At first i was only planning on touching a few things up, but in the end, i ended up scrapping most of it (like the entirety of the legs, most of the torso, etc) and re-doing it.

I even planned on rigging it properly and maybe trying to animate it in Blender (but i couldn't figure how to bloody do anything in Blender, no matter how many online tutorials i watched)

So instead i opted to try at least some posing in Sketchup where i made the model itself, which turned out pretty OK, in my opinion.







Now, before you say anything, yes.
I do realize it's the Scorpion. AGAIN.


I might try some other mech, sometime later. Maybe.

Scorpion and a Fire Scorpion in one thread? Mmm. Yaaaas.

We are distinctly missing the Stalking Spider, though.

Low profile design, it looks great.

Decided to spend some time painting over the model's picture in GIMP. Give it a paintjob, add some extra details and whatnot.
Think it came out pretty well.

Looks great!

It's odd, you'd expect a quad like that to have a different leg structure. Ball and socket style joints where the legs join the torso, and a more splayed out X pattern around the torso as opposed to the ][ it has going on.
