Big battlesuit.

Seriously, get this in WD in some form or another. It\'ll generate buzz for the mag, and showcase the talent!

this will sound like a lot of work, but get an artist to do a action painting of it then put it on the cover. do a wip as the main feature, the an apocalypse battle next month with it as the centre

Remember they work MONTHS ahead of time for WD. This model might have a shot of making it end of summer-ish. I think that\'s the rate anyway.

But nevertheless... WD needs more of this inspired modeling! DO IIIIITTT!

i work in the design studio, so most of games dev, art, books, designers etc have already seen it. in all honesty there\'s all kinds of wierd and wonderful stuff in the studio and it all tends to inspire and create ideas. so you never know

but for my army its just what i wanted......as well as a bigger one

*thinks about using one as a barracuda*

 

[Matt Cexwish]

It is surely the dream of every Hobbyist to have access to this huge range of Bitz you have at the Studios...lol...

Nowadays, without the possibility of ordering Bitz via Mail Order this Mech would cost more then a small use car, I reckon......

 

[fildunn]

it definately has its benefits

It depends what you are after. I really like it because it is a bit comic styled, looking like a lumbering giant. I think it gives the creation character.

 

[ScottRadom]

I love the head. One of my favorite parts. The size indicates to me it isn\'t one of those goofy mechs where people live in the head of the machine, and the shape you\'ve built it in gives it a ton of character for my tastes.

My opinion, but as you can tell from my dope post count my opinion is very important and well informedlol

Beautiful model, my only slight gripe is that it isn\'t PAINTED! Turn off your computer and go paint this bitch up!

 

[alextheartist]

I love the head, don\'t change it

 

[fildunn]

phew, cause i tried to do a new one for the second version and i just kept going back to that design....as long as its not just me

 

[donga666]

I think the head works.

My only issue is the \'beer belly\', it sort of works/fits. Having said that, the rest of it is superb! The legs are great!

Have you wondered over the carpark to the Forgeworld boys with it?

Fantastic piece!! 10 hours..............speechless!

IMO, the shinguards are too big. makes the leg\'s look short and fat, unless that\'s the look you wanted.

 

[fildunn]

he does look short and fat, but i wanted a sense of weight. the second one however (which is about 50% finished) is a little less dumpy and looks less like a devilfish transformer and im adding shin guard as well as more curved thigh guards.

pics coming soon!

 

[fildunn]

to help finance my second version (i need a few more bits) this battlesuit is being sold *sniff sniff*
it should be on ebay during the week unless someone makes a nice juicy offer

 

[hestan101]

sell it to vincenti, or try to get it into production:twisted:

 

[mattsterbenz]

Hope it sells well. It\'s a fantastic conversion.

Can\'t wait to see what you do for round 2!
