A lot of you have been contacting me regarding your vouchers and when you will be getting them.

Well, I always want to be upfront and honest with everything I say and do and with that in mind fellas, I need to admit to you that I dropped the ball on this.

It's been remedied now, but what needed to happen was that the email addresses and amounts for all my fellow fundians needed to be passed on to Speck and to be honest; I forgot to do that. It's fixed now, and you should get your vouchers soon, but the original mess was my fault and I want to apologize for that.

Frankly, I am one of those guys who tends to learn by asking a lot of dumb questions and finding all the wrong ways to do something before I find the right ones.

I just hope this didn't put any big kinks in anyone's plans.

Epitaph on an Army of Mercenaries

These, in the day when heaven was falling,      Their shoulders held the sky suspended;
The hour when earth's foundations fled,         They stood, and earth's foundations stay;
Followed their mercenary calling,               What God abandoned, these defended,
And took their wages, and are dead.             And saved the sum of things for pay.

No problems Beachhead, thanks for the update. If the problem is sorted then no harm done. We have all made mistakes first day on the job so do not publically flagellate yourself too much over it.

It does look great! It is a great and awesome job.

 Some nitpicks. I think that the lower legs should be wider. Also, the hip joints should be somewhat wider, too. In the torso, in the panels between the cockpit and the "shoulder", they form an angle in the upper panel that it is more noticeable in the art that in the orto. Finally the back should have something extra, like a small protrusion for extra heat sinks, to link it with other variants. But this is only my opinion and it doesn't stain your awesome work. O0

Good, but please:

- slightly thicker AC boxes
- A little bit of space between the intakes and cockpit.
- the lower legs a bit more beefier.

Nice.

Could we get an enlarged ortho of the Sensor assembly?

Also I am a bit concerned about the rear of the legs, could you please make an ortho of that too?

Please include spare barrels with the mini.

In case, you know, the regular barrels ... umm ... bend during transit and not at all to be mounted underneath the regular barrels in that nice rectangular slot area ...

I actually like this design. However you cockpit looks like it needs just a little more beef.

You mean like having become slightly wider at the torso?

Thank you everyone for being so understanding.

Thanks also to Speck for bringing this last bit of the paperwork so to speak, to rest.

B-3, you are doing great man.

Yep, it looks like a reinforced cockpit in the art, at least to my eyes. Could be wrong.

Things look off with the side view of the legs.  1) Too much ankle actuator showing, 2) knee actuator and thigh pushed too far forward, 3) "knee pad" too short--should be taller than knee actuator, 4) inner outer side calf armor polygon sides and angles are out of proportion to the original art (i.e. front side of calf armor appears like it should be parallel to rear upper side--heck it looks like it should be a rectangle with corners bobbed to different depths).

I know they match up with the front ortho view, but in the original art the knees appear slightly bent.   Straightening them would mate the top of the "knee pad" with the bottom of the thick thigh armor instead of leaving a large gap as in the ortho.  I'm not entirely sure how to fix this all and make it match up.

After this I'm done orthoing.  Sculpting will commence shortly.  Any more changes will be up to thems what has the time to make em.  Barrels will be built into the "arm" so no extra barrels.
