Nice. I have to say though now that I see them again, the first two banners with the multiple attachment points just don't look right. The reason for it is that the fabric should pull tight around the attachment point and cause distortion in the fabric but it doesn't do that.

[Fleafa]

Noice. But I do agree with Vaaish.

[mangozac]

While Vaaish is right, I don't think it's enough to be a real problem. They just looked stylised.

Loving the rifle designs though!

A little bit of Law...

Both helmets are the same save for the face shield. Should I have it smooth or run with it having a lip?

Also any other suggestions? (looking for precise ideas, not vague "add more detail" type suggestions)










Other angles

[mangozac]

Add more detail.....

Looks good and I like the lip, however I feel that it's a bit too thick along the bottom/around the rear. Can you thin it out a bit?

[Fleafa]

I definitely prefer smooth!

[paulson games]

Here's a couple roughs I was working on and wanted to see what you guys think. I'm also considering working on revised versions of the missile launchers. So if you have any thoughts on changes you'd liek to see on my older models or comments on the WIP stuff please fire away as I'd like to hear your thoughts.

A couple Qs.

Do you guys like the idea of a dual auto cannon set up?

single & dual lasers?

Are the mecha beam cannons too large? Would they be better if they were resized slightly smaller?

Do you like sensors being included on the weapon or would you prefer versions of them without the sensor?



Dual AC






Single laser




Dual Laser




Older designs for reference - Long beam gun, long rail gun, med beam gun, medium rail gun, underslung railgun

[Fleafa]

Looking good.
Perhaps make the sensors separate so people can choose?

I think the sensor's look fantastic, just shows how much more you can get with paulson games in my opinion.

Blind-

[paulson games]

update, still working on the lower two models.




Casting the sensors is going to be rather fiddely as they are about 2x2mm. I'll be doing seperate versions of the gun w & w/o the sensors.

I should be finishing these up tonight and hopefully have them off for printing tomorrow. The autocannons will come later as the single AC I sell tends to move more slowly. I'll be working on some flamethrowers and probably will send those in together in a later batch.

Was toying with this, the red screen would be made from semi-transparent colored plexi to represent a force field.

[Vaaish]

could work well. Personally I think the green has a bit more glowy feel than red.

[mangozac]

I like it. Is the idea that it would be used as a barricade/fence? If so you might want to make some angled end/corner pieces to go with it...

[paulson games]

Main idea is defensive screens, or walls. Although it could easily double for an array of sci fi stuff. Medical screeners or perhaps the security x-ray device from total recall.

I have some checking around to do on getting the plexi pieces made. Shouldn't be a big deal to get them in other colors, once i get the model more finalized I'll need to get some test pieces made and poll people to see what colors look best.

Here's a basic corner piece, the plexi can only be cut with a 90 degree edge so getting a super tight fit between pieces would be really difficult. Additionally with the current set up there will be gaps in the force screen if two lengths are placed together end to end. These won't be meant to be 100% perfect just cheap simple to use terrain. If the inital parts sell then I can look at doing longer sections & more refined corner pieces.
