Here's the recent concept of a Clan Vulture / Mad Dog I am working on, I try not to deviate form the original Mechwarrior design too much.

It's still an early draft version .

damn man! u got the aesthetics of a clan mech design spot on! the barrels of those lasers are kinda big but who cares

[wintercold]

Those are actually Auto Canons or Gauss Rifles, it's a place holder, still trying to balance the design of the lasers.

My idea is that most weapons hardpoints are modular that's subjected to change depeding on the load out of the mech. Much like Armored Core V concept.

That is absolutely gorgeous, I love how the cockpit and CT really evokes the name 'Vulture'. Very nice work!

[Takeo]

WOW AWESOME! Really Nice. Love the Look. Can't wait until the finished version. I love the Calns can't wait until we can join the Clans and not just the IS houses.

hmm, good on all parts minus the missile racks, i think it might be better in "steps"

[Silicio]

wonderfull!

seems like the real one but in a newer look!!!

i want to see it finished!

good job!

[wintercold]

Thanks to everyone for the positive feedback . Hopefully I can have this bad boy done before PGI releases any of their Vulture design for the Clan Invasion.

To answer Zudukai , I've given the though of designing the missle launcher in the form of steps, nothing concrete yet but I hope to do something different than steps because the " look " doesn't seem to warrant the function.

Also , below is a scanned image of the concept body from the side elevation. The look will change slightly once I have it completed this weekend if I work fast enough and skip enough MWO time.

Hi , just another quick update on the progress. started working on the **** pit. This is taking longer than I thought.

[Gryphorim]

Beautiful....please let PGI hire you, or buy the design, or allow it to be an alternate skin. I want one!
Please tell me you are going to try a timberwolf next? maybe some concept-pic posts if you get stuck on your maddog?
Or a Masakari? its my favorite, but not nearly as iconic.
Okay i'll be honest now, Awestruck.

[Evil Deaz]

Pretty sweet concept, lovin the look of it and its nice to see my favorite mech come in to thought and detail like you did here

[wintercold]

Update of the Cockpit , work has been hectic and not to mention the hours spent playing MWO Beta.

[Joe3142]

Looking very good so far Are you planning to make the LRM launchers slanted?

The Vulture is one of my favourite mechs

Another set of update on my progress.

Also, can anyone tell me how I can update the title of my post also? I only did it once, and it seems like it won't let me use the advance update function anymore.

[Gryphorim]

Are you going with the launchers from your old design? Because those were sweet. Really captured that "omni" feel.

Working on the new modular missle launcher feel , should be ready by the weekend. I want something that's workable and not a " Shoot my exposed missle launcher to take me out " kinda feeling.

[wintercold]

As promised, here are the reworked missle racks.

[zudukai]

nice!

[Marev Kilmer]

Wintercold, this design is fantastic! You are extremely talented! Keep up the good work!

[Steinar Bergstol]

Very nice work. Almost enough to make this stubborn, old 3025 Spheroid want to pilot a filthy clanmech.
