@ Doomkitten, I hear you but I do like this design like this and it's received many positive comments which isn't bad for an early WIP picture.

The angle in the image is not the best to view the overall shape of this model it looks much better when viewed from the side. Your suggestions are appreciated and such feedback is welcome but in this case i'll be proceeding as planned.

Thanks for the comments regards

That's a good size but that door needs to be way bigger. :D

I'm trying to figure out something with the top as it feels off. Perhaps some tech gribblies and hatches/panels? They really need some asymmetry up there and some raised blocks of something... Vents maybe?

Widened, raised and moved forward. At the moment, the door opening (assuming it's as large, or larger, then the door itself) seems to interfere the space for tracks, wheels and the rear drive assembly. It looks 'illogical' for want of a better word. My mind assumes that the drives are there for the tracks and thus can't resolve why the doorway is there and the other gubbins aren't.

From the side shot, if the track and sides are individual pieces to the central hull (and thus could be reversed when they're assembled) that would be so, so much nicer in my opinion. Not every model can suit every taste and I'm certainly not expecting it to change now, but could production be managed to allow an easy conversion of it? In this instance, in the current form I definitely can't get past how it looks.

Thanks for listening though, it's nice to be able to have a conversation about it without criticism being taken personally.

@ Doomkitten, the engine is obviously at the back of the vehicle and directly powers the rear drive sprocket which is the one above the guys head in this picture. The door opening would be exactly the same size as the door, yes.

The hull on this model is one piece so you wouldn't be able to reverse the tracks sorry. I really like it like this myself and so that's the way it will be whilst it may not be to everyone's taste it's pleasing to me.

No problem with constructive criticism and I do listen but in this case I will not be altering the design now.

Oh one new addition will be a set of armoured guards for the tracks if you want to cover them over.

Ok, so I started working on the missile launcher. Felt like doing something different from the underslung missile launcher, wanted to try out something more akin to the rocket launchers from the Dreadnought fighter as seen here.
