So do the Guardian guns but do you see anyone complaining?

Ah, but when it's moving, the arms on the Guardian fold in.  This thing just looks like it's there to produce drag.

It also looks like if you hit it just right you could break the cannon off.

The turret looks like a tube on a box.  Try to make it more interesting.

I believe he was attempting to imply foot-in-mouth.  And failing.

I didn't mean actually modeling each individual louver slat, I meant just recessing where the vents are, to add in that bit of depth that can't really be achieved otherwise.

Also, in the pic that GBD put up, it doesn't look like there's a frame around the ribbed cylinder at all.  Looks like it's just a flat piece under it to hold up the square end.

Hey, since you're doing a "high poly" version anyway, you can build some more of the detail into the model itself (i.e.: the "intakes" on the wings, the vents on the sides of the nose, etc.)  I also think that the grip on the turret extends the length of the turret portion, but that may just be my eyes playing tricks.

Edit: Also, the frame around the main cannon cylinder could use some beefing up.

PB5.1.  And to answer your two questions on the pic GBD posted,

what the heck is this?

Either a hatch or plate armor of some kind.  Don't forget the two hand holds that are just under the turret there!

are these more antennae?

Nope, that looks like a hand railing to me.  A single railing with the shadow under it.

If you want it in BZ2, just remember that the triangle ceiling is 20k.

My BZ1 install came with round barrels on the cockpits of both the Grizzly and the Czar.  Note that this install is from my original CD.

IF Wall makes a master Grizzly I can crank out vacumn-formed stryene model 'kits' en masse.

HOW MANY PEOPLE ACTUALLY WANT ONE???

Personally, I'd want a master (read:metal) version.  But that's just me.

Thanks for the cut-n-paste.

some people discussing the outcome of the poll to death and begging for a retake while others are whinging about the way its being run until the person running it wants to tear their hair out.

Running the poll or running the CP?

Likely a bit of both.

Oy, nominations only, please.  Use the other thread if you're going to discuss things.

Poll is now locked, the thread will remain open because it can be used to discuss the nomination idea.
