The Warforge Miniature Modelling and Conversion

Lining up the tread links

I'm still not sure how the best way to assemble this is, given all the changes I have planned - it seems like one modification would get in the way of me adding another, leaving me scratching my head while the model doesn't get done. I'm trying to fight off the complications in the project by pinning the track links together - I ran some wire through the treads so they're connected, but not glued, and pinned a couple of my cast wheels onto the thing just to figure out their spacing and placement. I'm not going to lie to you, it looks pretty stupid right now, but I'm going to say that it's simply because all of the things that will be covered with armor plating are just open space right now.

 

I think the body is actually sitting a tiny bit higher than I'll want it finalized at right now - I'll lower it a couple mm or so. I'm trying to get the front wheel to stick out a decent amount so it will line up with the central hub on the deathroller - that way, the roller is powered by the track wheel mechanism to spin. It's all still very rough right now, I just thought I'd get some feedback on general form. The front section of the track guard will be covered up similar to Orchead's baneblade so the tracks don't end up looking quite so silly.
