' Wrote:I like the concept quite a lot indeed. I'd suggest toning down the firepower a bit, though, unless some of the turrets were made rear-firing only, as 12 fighter 5s is some REALLY impressive damage output there. Also, as to the model, if you were to integrate the outboard pontoon-style things rather more with the Rhino, it would look much better. As it is, it looks like the Xenos must have duct-taped then on.

Yep. I had a lattice made and for some reason Milkshape gobbled it up and I just didn't want to redo it. I had a version where I merged the cats in close but I just couldn't get a clean look with it. I was going from the standpopint of "off the shelf" and "mass production". Merging them is a new hull--not interrchangeable modularr components. In a real life situation, one "cat-pontoon" get clobbered, you just go grab another with the refitt kit and slap it on. That's how it would work so it would look that way. Same reason attachment struts need to be simple.

A real modeler could fix the firing arcs--outer pontoons could fire to sides and rear, forward ones to front only. That would balance it out tremendously
