Unfortunately, any more components takes it over the weight limit. In fact, it is claiming it is a MW when I put the smartzone on

have you tried Mads Smartzones v3 ? I have been told they are weightless

Doesn't look too bad actually.

Allthough, try cuttting the weight by using poly extenders for the weapon ( will make it weaker, so watch out), and by making the chassis smaller so that the wheels are outside of it. Then try to lenghten the skirt on the door hinge. Will make it better.

As for getting under Hazcon, it's quite easy to do with a metal hinge, but u should try making a skirt hinge that can get under hazcon. Not as easy.

good job overall though.

Joe you are not doing it perfectly right :P



That is the real razor's collision mesh. Tetrahedron with a "removed" apex.

Here's my latest update:



This is actually a completely new build, with a smaller chassis and better wedges. As for realism, the razor just misses the slimbody motor.

I couldn't get all three razors flat, but I got two and made the third as close to flat as I could.

to make razers flat you position the first one correctly then fire your burst THEN click

it will attach it in mid air,

do the same for the others then go into the garage and back and they will all be back on the extender

I've tried that, but it doesn't work for some strange reason. Anyway, the third razor is only one 'rotation' away from being flat, so I'm happy with it.

It's not attaching when I fire the bsg and try to attach it.

did you hover it to were its meant to be as if you are about to attach it

but dont click

hit fire and dont move that mouse at all

as soon as the BSG has hit max arc click without moving the mouse before it retracts

the razor will then be floating in space

I would also like to say that sometimes you can have all of the razors facing the same way without the eFFe glitch, at least for me.  You can try different sides.

After a bit of trying, I did the glitch while I didn't even mean to.  :smile:

Thanks Joe.

Can anybody suggest anything else I should do to it?

Well, empty space can still be minimized by shrinking the chassis a bit more. With the extra weight, you can upgrade the armor. :D

You could probably downgrade the sheets to aluminum and add another ant (lol alliteration), or add another razor.

Here it is with the new changes. I added another extender and a razor, and spread the razors out more evenly. I also downgraded the skirts to aluminium. I believe the armour is currently 5mm plastic.


Anything else?
