The pose was suppose to be the pilot taking in water as mentioned in the TRO:3025 fluff, but it looks more like it is toppling into the water. The problem was that the cannon just wouldn't reach.

I knew immediately what was going on (even though there was no steam exiting the ass-end of the PPC :D).
Again, you captured more than a fluff reference...there is atmosphere/mood here, like the Charger and Shadow Hawk minis previously posted.
"Anticipating an escalation in the fighting, a Sung's Cuirassiers pilot makes use of a lull in combat to take advantage of his Vindicator's unique PPC cooling capability."
You can see the effort it took for him to get his mech down in position to dip the PPC in the stream, then maintaining his SA so as not to be caught off guard.
Beautifully and yet still realistically military/war-machine done paintwork.
The fact that you used an original Vindicator mini (with is the BEST) is a bonus for me. Thanks for taking me back in time 30 years to my imagination the moment I read the Vindicator fluff. One of my favorites.
Well done! O0
