Title: Interest in Mad Cat III-X , 4 and Eve
Post by: speck on 12 September 2021, 13:07:32

Hello,

I am checking to see if people are interested in Fan Funding a new version of the Mad Cat III, it would be the III-X, III-4 and III Eve. The model is based off of Stephen Huda files from the Mad Cat III-Eve.

Okay! This was a Collaboration between Stephen Huda and I!

Here are pictures of the 3D models:

So the launchers, right arm and the electronics will be variant bits?

Missiles will be integral to the torso similar to the original sculpt. Eve will also have the "Mouth" sculpted right into the torso.

Sensors vary (Arti V/AMS for the X/4 blister and TAG for the Eve).  Arms are different as well (obviously!).

would it be two blisters, one for the X/4 and then one for Eve, or a combo?

Post by: Stinger on 12 September 2021, 18:49:38

That's the plan for right now!

I could probably use one for that Sea Fox unit I have been plotting, I'd throw in a few bucks.

Stinger...just a recommendation (also open to the financiers that back this), while I get the art is as is...how would everyone feel about trimming down that "over-compensation" of a gun for the right arm? LOL

Upgrade!  I'll throw some money at it.

Great work guys!  :thumbsup: 8)

I'll pass, but best of luck to all of you. I'll reserve my cash for a something that doesn't already have a mini of the same base chassis.

I'd probably back this, and I would be OK giving that PPC a bit of a briss!

I would support...I would support probably anything. :)

I would be in.
But, no variant for the Mad Cat III 2 from TRO Prototypes? I would love that even more  :'(

I will say, if it's a Stinger design, odds are high it'll assemble cleanly and sturdily.

The two doesn't even have an official record sheet though! And the description in TRO Prototypes is not detailed enough to create a record sheet...

I would be in...  And am very excited!

But I also don't check here enough so someone will probably have to remind to (and how to) contribute.

Title: Re: Interest in Mad Cat III-X , 4 and Eve
Post by: Sartris on 03 December 2021, 09:11:01

Speck will make a thread officially soliciting contributions. People post pledging how much they will give until the threshold is reached. You will then be sent a PM so your email can be collected and an invoice sent via PayPal. After everyone has paid you will receive a voucher for the webstore equal to the value of your contribution that can be spent on anything.

Then we wait for the sculpt to be slotted in to the schedule

If someone could PM when if and when this kicks off so I don't miss it that would be neat.

Thanks.

This is still on hold, not sure if we will go forward with it yet.
