Could go either way, but I'm going to vote jethro...

it is too cool to waste on an AA bot.

I disagree, I don't think a unit's role should be decided based on the coolness of it's model. Besides, several of Mr.D's vehicle remakes are damn cool but aren't really going to be seen built in huge numbers in every game, that doesn't mean people should stick them in a different role just because they've got a good model!

It's just more encouragement to do the main units even better

Of course CA already HAS a jethro model. The Storm, however, needs an update.

Woah! looks like a screamer with legs!
However, it can't turn, and the rockets can't tilt all the way up, and it lacks eyes.

If this is for CA, it definitely looks more logos than nova.

That's why I said "screamer" rather than "mercury"

Wait a sec: If you were referring to Exit Wound's model, I think it'd make a good t2 AA bot, and with a little bit of modification, it could be used for other logos walkers.

Loads of waste on the little radar thingy.

The rest looks ok I think, but some more detail wouldn't hurt

Geometry wise I mean

Theres a few small mistakes, and the rockets should probably be remodeled.

Ah

It also looks too forwards-heavy, like it fall flat on it's face. Try making the rocket boxes longer out on the back, maybe?

EDIT: And yeah, the body can't turn and the feet are joined to the legs; try to bear in mind how it will be animated and the things it needs (ie a 360 traversable torso and weapon/arms - the torso turns around the y-axis and the arms the x-axis to point the guns in the right direction) and well as fully jointed knees, ankles, hip-joints etc when you're modelling anything with legs.

Theres no need to model all those small rocket things, it wastes lots of tris

hoi, with all due respect you constantly critique others but have limited experience yourself. What are YOU working on?

Nothing atm.

limited experience

Maybe, I started modeling about half a year ago, but I think I'm doing it right.

why not?

Becaus I'm very busy with school. I'm getting less and less homework though, so I guess I'll start modeling again soon

No you should eliminate your distractions. School is important, if you had lots of idle time and you were posting because of that, then I say you should model but if you are posting because you are procrastinating from school, well that is not good.

Yeah... school is important... Kinda wish I'd figured that out 10+ years ago when it could have helped.

Also, don't get married (and especially don't get pregnant/a girl pregnant) until you own a house... that would have been good to know before hand.

oh, and don't go into debt... obviously mortgages and college loans are an exception but make sure you can pay those off with less then 35% of your net income.
