I tried to put bottom protection on it initially but for some reason the game won't let me

If you click the bottom part of the height ruler in the chassis design, it won't let you attatch halfsheets to the bottom.

ah, that'll be why then

Looks gnarly. Needs bottom protection but that's some damage potential right there.

Turn the beaters 90 degrees and even out your weapons

on Plan B, rotate the razors so that the sharp side faces forward.
on On Melancholy Hill, just use this setup to attach drive and stabilizers: half sheet ->40 cm alu skirt -> back side to put drive(you can just use copals for this), front side to put stabilizer. And with the weight saved try to get more weapons( 3 razors isn't enough on a BW VS).

is less empty space an option ?

Gazea2 · « **Reply #291 on:** August 23, 2012, 05:22:11 PM »

Hmm, does the chassis on the TS (?) need to be that big? If you shrunk it you could probably get more weapons.
On the VS, why not use angled skirts attached directly to the halfsheet?

Tweedy · « **Reply #292 on:** August 23, 2012, 06:49:12 PM »

yay for improvements:

Gazea2 · « **Reply #293 on:** August 23, 2012, 07:05:50 PM »

Definitely looking better. Like I said on skype, you could shrink it even more but you'd have to angle the motor to keep it realistic, which I know you're not a fan of. The extra weight from shrinking it could be used on more armour or something.

My first IRL SHW.
6 ants steel 3 armour, Moe motors powering the weapons, npcf drive with overkill wheels, fully invertable

Nice. reminds me of Smashy's Turbulator. Could you possibly get some outside drum support (like on the outside of the drums)? Then it would be awesome.

like this ?

Badnik96 · « **Reply #297 on:** August 25, 2012, 08:15:14 AM »

Much better.

NFX · « **Reply #298 on:** August 25, 2012, 08:15:58 AM »

More or less. It'd look a bit better if you axle loaded the drum out of the way while you were attaching the other two extenders, so they'd all overlap when it was spinning normally.
