pivot

Seems like a good solution to me....just check the movement radius..it has not to work 100% because we are in 3D-Virtuality and not Reality ;O))

Keep on modeling....waiting for some updates user added image

Pure_Morning: I believe that solution works! Just remember to get some more legs in there as I liked quite a lot that previous concept of yours.

BulletProof: Excellent Wasp bud! Do remeber though, if it´s espionage what they want the wasp to do they would try to carefully conceive it right? I mean, in the real world the wasp has that color only to ward off potential attackers (as black-yellow is danger in the natural world) .. however such a painting in a battleground would inmediately point out the wasp, and as such, an easy target for all those insect mechs the other guys are designing. :p
Try to make it a bit more metal looking and take in account how it would work in a real battlefield.

Strange thing...

...how square forms appear as... um... really square.

Well, the cockpit is coming together, but most trimmed openings will be done over. They appear as too square. Notice the pair of openings top-most, they are properly done. But I dont mind, it will not take too long to correct it.
