first 4 pictures, tell me what you think/can be improved upon.

Yay, more knights!

Okay, good things first:

I love the main body of this thing! I really like what you´ve done, with the animal head look.

Also, lower legs look good. Really good.

Now for the things that you might consider improving:

The upper legs look very flimsy compared to the lower. I´m fine with the armor greaves extending beyond the leg, but this might be a bit much..

The main weapon, is it an autocannon? In order to be able to use this as much as possible, you want people to have some familiar imagery.

Things like "oh, that´s a battle cannon, this is a storm bolter" and so on.

Anyways, those are some things that I would consider.

Also, please post your pictures on Dakka when they´re this good. It´s dead easy, and more people will notice your thread.

METAL GEAR!?




In all seriousness though the model looks very good the cannon is very fitting tothe bodies design. Keep up the good work.

I found some metal pipes at the local shop where I pick up all my modeling stuff and I was thinking of just cutting the barrel off and giving it an assault cannon feel with 6 barrels and the under sling.

the upper legs do look flimsy thats one of my problems I'm trying to fix. I'm waiting until I finish the weapons and the legs before i work on those simply because their not glued (for transport reasons) and I want them to stay as flexible as possible. but near the end I am going to bulk them up so they don't look like they'll snap.

the thing I'm having the most difficulty with right now is i want to put some kind of armor over the arms and on top. but I have no idea how to do it.

You could take a look at my Knight build, here:

It´s a bit different than yours, but the legs are very similar. I´ve made mine with a pin in the waist so I can take it apart for transport.

The carapace took some time, but basically, now it´s the shape I wanted it to be originally.

yours is kinda small, after I saw the other knights I want to make a chimera one now... but I'll do that later.

I like the way they do the flat top on titans. I always think of this rusty old idea. I loved the puma just as much as the next buy but..




theres so many other options and ideas.

nice model but poor liger zero =\
