My sketch

I know I'm a late start but here I go. This bad boy is a massive lander with huge troop capacity. The massive legs are primarily landing gear but in a pinch the beast can walk around. Still pretty new at everything. Going to go with polygons. Any tips on how to build this the most effective way would be great. I always seem to have a cool model, but when I go to texture it things just don't work out. Thanks for the help, model starts soon! (oh yeah, it's a grasshopper)

Ok, here are the two other units: the Harvest Bug – HB-002 and the Thin Spider – ThS-003. user added image

From now I think I will start the texturing…so wish me good lock because I will need that, that’s not my strong part at all, like newbie I have still a lot to learn… user added image

Here is the HB-002.

RayRay: really nice sketch! hope to see the design emerging soon, looks a great model.

el_newty: i love the look of your ThS-003 model! love the gun underneth... nice interesting spider shape.

babyduck: dont worry mate, you are getting better all the time, I love your ant.. maybe there is a nice metal shader in the shaders area you can use if you are not keen on the blue material you have? but its comming on well..
