I'll cover any balance if this goes for more than a week.

I have sent the PM's out.

PM received, and payment sent.
@Dak:
Can you provide any guidance for how this thing will be scaled? The 'mech has a pretty chunky/bulky design, like a lot of primitives, but it is also only 60 tons. It's hard for me to visualize how it will look on he hex base, standing next to other 'mechs.
-
Sending payment...
Thanks Speck.

Stinger has been my scaling guy. We did a 3D printed prototype last year to mess around with the scale on this, here's what we aimed at:

I think that's pretty close for where I want it. Like you say, the aesthetic of the primitives has generally been bulky and a bit oversized (which is more or less compatible with the relevant lore on them). The height is about 42mm but I agree that's not a good guide for this bulky 'Mech. (Note that hexbase on the Bellerophon is a Fanjoy creation and not the IWM base, it's about 2mm less in overall diameter).
Let me know what you guys think.

I doubt there ever will be an "ideal", but that looks pretty good. Thanks!
(In my perfect Universe, I'd probably shrink it another ~2mm shorter, But I'm so happy with the sculpt, I'm not going to complain at all when it releases. :thumbsup: )
