Back to the drawing board.[/quote]Yup. You should always strive to be better, which is how you become better. To be honest, the best thing I can do a lot of the time is just scrap it and start over. Just the experience and knowledge that you got from the previous CAD will leave you with a firmer idea of what you actually want.

What's nice about starting over is that, at least from my experience, the second attempt doesn't take as long as the first because you have a much clearer direction.

That is a very large plow that might get in the way of your horizontal thwacking. other than that, looks like a good design. looks cool too :P

i'm not sure. spinners look like they can catch the middle pretty damn easily, so it should have a decent armour value to put-off high powered spinners

yeah in hindsight i made the gap too big. maybe i can fix that without fucking it up

Couldn't sleep and I was kind of unsatisfied with how that Pyrite render turned out. So, I tweaked it a bit.

I think this looks a lot better.

Pyrite is looking very, VERY nice indeed. Could stand to be a real contender for a championship in the future. Great work.

That is MUCH better.
