DEATH TO YOU ALL.
Ahem. So here's my stuff, a 50-ton lump of walking death, straddled by arch leader of the robot army, General Krank, at whose fingertips this beast lets its 50-inch Howitzer do some loud loud talking. Right in the heat of battle, at the very front of the frontlines, this thing is crunching along on the skulls of it's foes, stopping momentarily to viciously urinate crude-oil on the fallen!
Basic modeling pretty done, some material/baketests and a little dented metal a la ZBrush:

keep going :P
So are you making General Krank too?
Especially the rear part with all the little details.
Will you do the same on the front side near the canon?
I want to see a bit more thought put into the leg mechanics though. you could take it a lot further, and these current legs are pretty much useless in an engineering sense, as the joints wouldn't be able to support the weight.
Just as an idea, because this is a crawler the legs only have 2 functions to them, lower and raise the leg, and more it forwards and back, so the leg should be designed in the best way to support these 2 motions.
As something interesting you could try a 4 bar system for lowering the leg.
I just want to see some thought put into the mechanics :P.
Also a link that i have been throwing around alot in the mechanical threads. http://izmojuki.blog.shinobi.jp/Category/1/
It might be a little too vehicle-like though. You're allowed to have a mechanical mount but not an actual vehicle. It's one of those weird rules that always crops up in Dominance War.
Awww, now you made it sad! *Pets 50-ton lump of walking death* Shame on you... Lumps of walking death have feelings too you know.
look forward to seeing more
It still is very cool though
Only critique is that the legs are chamfered to softly. makes them look a bit like a plastic model.
Want more! and looking forward to general Krank. I like his hat
Thanks for your comments everyone! I appreciate it. Fresh from the bakery:

I love your moving tower with all
those scratches and impacts on the steel sheets.
You definitely have to finish it. Not showing the
general keep your thread a high tensioned one
Can't wait to see more.
garagarape: Thanks - keep your expectations low!
coldkodiak: Thanks
ZStuff:
But you can imagine there's a powerful hydraulic pump system inside.
Besides, the humourous feel may be wasted if you destroy the contrast
between massive tower shapes and rather tiny legs.
I'm not certain about it, but I'm under the feeling that it works
well without changing the legs.
Go go go Rasmus!
and I don`t think you need to re-design the legs.
I like the fact that the whole thing looks like it`s designed by some mad scientist.
But ill still have to say that the legs dont actually work mechanically and that was my point, and that hurts it for me
Thanks everyone, textures soon!
Oh, and say hi to General Krank
Yeeha!
will look awesome when the specmap is in place judging from your previous work, Panzerwurst anyone?
Though with the general
Muzz: Yeah, you're absolutely right - he needs poppage, and I'll even try standing him up
Good luck finishing!
really bad ass idea and execution. I really like the way you've treated the ground too.
konstruct: Thanks. Strange? Probably
Here's lookin at you, Muzz:
Surfin' that shit.
I like the ground-pedestal.
Will the guys inside throw boiling oil
from the narrow embrasures?
I can imagine opposing party trying
to climb on the tank tower. Don't let them in!
cheers

i miss spooning and eating tuna right off the ribs at the tsukiji fishmarket
literally just screamed "YEAHHH!!!" at work when I saw the updates.
Just bump up some of the colours on him!
Perhaps some of those gold shoulder thingos you see on generals coats?

Well done man
Only thing is that the black border seems to be messing witht he composition a tiny bit for me. Almost like it is making it feel a bit clostrophoboic, perhaps make it thinner?
