Agreed with BL on relative track/hull placement. Otherwise excellent.

looking very good indeed. i love the new turret style (was considering making a bunch of 28mm ones that way) though the hatch seems a little too far raised.
i'd also like the turret to be a little further forward.
but yeah, much love.

Here's why the turret is where it is at - it makes a smooth flow with the front of the hull.

Elegant :) But the picture also shows that the fron still protrudes of from the tracks at the front.

Oh and what are the measurements? "Truescale" or Grandma Wendy's?

1:5, where appropriate. The many-laser is of course exaggerated for castability.

Sigh, the talents of Forgeworld-O. You never cease to amaze me with your skills Mr furry aquatic Magos! :D

Will there be turret variants for this? Like an HE cannon, Quad AA and anti-tank baguette launchers?

How about some little square nubbins to be guns coming out of the firing ports?

side-view helps, but it still seems the turret is too far back, perhaps bring the front of the hull forwards by about half the remaining distance to the tracks?

I think the hatch on the rear of the turret causes many balance issues. Partly because it's raised up quite high above the turret itself and because the turret is already raised above the level of the tracks by the central bit. It's also placed somewhat oddly. Because the rest of the turret is so slim, I assume that the hatch is the pivot point which makes it feel set back too far on the chassis and places too much of the turret forward of that pivot.

Hatch? Do you mean the turbine thingy? It only protrudes .9mm

No the entire hatch. the height of the cylinder and the positioning of the faces around it make it feel off balance and tall. I think it would help it if the hatch only went as high as the top of the rest of the turret.

Alrighty then. I'll dig out the plastic source material and then poke the model with a stick.

agreed with this
If I hold my finger above the hatch
it is a very well silhuette and design of course ;)
