Well i don't know about anyone else but i think it's an improvment, and keep adding detail to the hull too.

The forward quad guns, these look like they have an very restricted fire arc and no chance of shooting forward at all. Could you not have them mounted in the corners of the nose section between the cockpit and ramp area in a similar fashion to the Wellington mountings. That way they could fire forward and to the sides as well giving at least a 90 degree fire arc forward.

Ok for some strange reason i can now see the pictures on the funder #3 page how odd.

Anyway i must say i am liking those new heavy tanks and the stalker looks awesome.

But now we need skinnerz medium and heavy tanks to take on this armoured phalanx.

Oh another observation on this one, please go minimal on the rivets on the hull as it looks odd next to the rivetless wings.

Just stick to the wings asthetic and you can't go wrong.

Agreed - less rivets but more diagonal panel lines and general braking up of the surface like the wings. You want to give some hint of a chassis/air-frame under the panels by the way the panels connect. That cockpit still not working for me - something more angular seems much more in keeping with the model. The length looks just right now though.

Nice junker tanks. Might make the last one on the right a wee bit more ramshackle. Perhaps make then turret off center? It looks too clean and symmetric. Closer to steampunk than space junker aliens.

Agree with Jimmy.

Looked too much like mini Leman Russ rather than something more ramshackle.

How many pieces are these going to be in? Trying to work out how much variety you can get. If they were single piece that would dratically limit the amount that I would want.

Cheers

James

Skinnerz micro tanks are 2-piece models, 4 hulls & 4 turrets.
More revisions to them to come, yet.
Blunderbuss. :-)

Cool. Then I suppose that those of us thus inclined can ramshackle things around as we see fit.

I've added a bit more height to the design.

Maybe I've missed it , is there a ramp at the rear of the fuselage.

Also The turret looks increasingly out of place for me.

Maybe if it sat where the canopy is it may appear more useful.

Also possibilities off AA pods at the fuselage rear and wing tips.

Weapon placements aside this is really growing on me.

Like the chunkier version but agree turret needs to be further forward.

This one gets better every time you update it.

Looking at the second picture, is that a passenger hold at the back of the plane as i can't quite tell?

I'd raise the turret slightly so that it has good clearance over the canopy.

Also if your going to leave the little turrets on the sides i'd eliminate the inner gun on each so that the ball turret would be able to swivel fully forward.
