they look nice and they are far enough from the unseen that (Dis)Harmony Gold cant say a damn thing good job

Well, the lawyers could. But then that's what lawyers do. But however my aim was to differentiate the Battlemech from the Destroid and it's good to see that I've done just that.

It was a simple request fulfilled. You are quite welcome!

1 - They don't have any artist positions listed publicly.
2 - IIRC they are in Canada. I am not.
3 - ???
4 - PROFIT!


There is one more Destroid that shares its legs with the Tomahawk and Defender. That would be the Phalanx. What BattleTech calls the Longbow. I'm considering it.

aye you have and you have kept the feel of the mech . thank you for doing this . wood love to see what you could do for all of the unseen

[Piranha]

Again, great work Hana!

The only thing I'm not relly sold on is the cockpit, for me the round shape feels out of place with the more "blocky" appearance of the rest of the mech.

It is still awesome and I admire your skill at creating something that looks like it could work in reality (as real as BattleMechs get of course... ) out of just "a few simple shapes".

[Fury9er]

I like that a lot Not sure on the B29 style cockpit but its growing on me.

Regarding the radar did you consider some of the type used on AAA units now? I am thinking of the 2S6M Tunguska and Flakpanzer Gepard, something with the elongated dish shape that spins. The longbow style one sort of makes more sense being enclosed though I suppose.

[HanaYuriko]

What I find to be amazing is that the model threads I started months ago are still getting attention. This is pretty awesome! Thanks for looking, guys!

The rounded shape evolved from my trying to blend two different design styles. The original Macross version is well known and most people generally like how it looks. Compare that to how the Project Phoenix redesign...well it hasn't been so warmly regarded. But combining the two, and then me trying to figure out how to detail the canopy itself turned into what we see here.

I wasn't even aware of those two vehicles nor their sensor system. After a quick image search, the design looks interesting enough, but there are two issues. First I don't quite know how I'd mount it. Secondly the radar dome looks a lot like a spotlight.

[Kai Allard-Liao]

Once again well done. I'd love to see harmony gold stop their crying so cohld see my marauder and shadow hawk. But until theniI'm digging these! Tbh your models actually look better than the originals. At least the Whammy and Rifleman have impressed me. Hats off again!

[Theodor Kling]

Good work, just like the Warhammer. Although I personally prefered the bigger sensor pod

[Alzhiemer]

I have a great idea for a war horn for the rifleman. Use the intro to the old tv show The Rifleman. It goes " pow pow pow pow pow The Rifleman".
