Here's one I'm sure plenty will enjoy, at least you Fedrats will :P

This is one of the smoother coming together designs I've worked on for a bit, as I included Alex Iglesias' great looking Lu Wei Bing in the reference pile. I worked backwards from that piece, decimating down the details a bit and working in more classic Victor details.
Wasn't much else to it.

Enjoy.

Nice, I real like the head!

Not sure how I feel about this one... the characteristics that make the victor stand out are changed too much. The limbs should be lankier, the calf pods are shrunk too much, the shoulder guards are shrunk too much, etc. it looks like it got way oversimplified. It looks lanky because it’s armor sucks for it’s weight; this version looks like it got fattened up (not a good thing). This is only the second redo I’ve disliked, and unfortunately both of them are two of my favorites. Please give it some thought before committing to this one.

Actually, now that I look at the Lu Wei Bing on sarna, why didn’t you just make this into one? It looks almost exactly like it, with the arm being different. It needs to lose some weight. Instead of the Lu Wei Bing as a reference (which is NOT a victor), use the victor art as a reference, please...

Read the lore. Clearly the Lu Wei Bing isn't a Victor, but it's also based on it. You can't deny when you look at it that's it's victor lineage.

Yes, it’s based on it, and the lore says it looks like a beefier victor. This makes the victor as beefy as the Lu Wei Bing.

It's already approved by the lore junkies up top. Considering every mech is generally bulked up in our new line I think it's proportional. This is still a fairly light looking assault mech. Going by your chain of comments on this I think you need to keep that perspective in mind. You seem caught off guard by the changes on this one, but they're simply the same broad changes most mechs are getting during this project. More detail, more beef, toning down of odd parts. No more stick mechs, especially not assault mechs made of twigs.

Lu Wei Bing as a design is several years old, so just as I'm not attached to the Victors original proportions, I'm not attached to the Lu Wei.

Very well, if you don’t want opinions on this stuff, then I guess I’ll stop giving them. I mean no offense by any of this, again, just trying to give feedback that I thought might be taken into consideration. Now I know better.

You're free to give your opinions, and for the sake of your understanding with how this projects works and it's aims, I give you the counter reasons to why I haven't done the things you wish. I've definitely taken what you said into consideration while I was working on the design. I'm always looking very deliberately at how things are proportioned, more than most people I think.

Carlos Sempere

I can see what people are saying about it looking a little wide in the hips and legs, but overall, I like it a lot. The rounded shoulders and calves are still there, crucially. I like the original head a little more than that of the Lu Wei Bing/MWO Victor, but they’re not miles apart.

Looks nice! (The smartass in me wishes the model looks like it's composed of parts of other mechs, just so we could have Victor Frankenmech. 😁)

Yeah for the most part I tried to make sure each shape/detail was Victor before it is Lu Wei. But when they both shared something is where I mixed it together.

Remember when the Victor was a Combine 'Mech? Me neither. But this is very nice work in capturing and updating the design

Andrew McKenna

I like it, looking good. Even though this is just an early view, I would heavily reduce all the lines. All those lines and separations of armor just give it that MWO look where a small laser in the right spot can take off 20 points of armor. More solid pieces of armor would go a long way. Since this won't change the actual look of the mech, this type of improvement could be implemented. Haha really thinking about it, MWO mechs remind me of Jenga, one wrong piece comes off and the whole thing comes apart.

I think the original has about the same amount of line spam, I just made them actually mean something instead of being lazy spam :D I usually do decimate down all the over detailing of the originals, but in this case the mech was big enough to support more of it. I think that's a common thing people forget about the oldies, a lot of them were waaay over lined without having much actual substance.

Benjamin Myers (Bishop Steiner)

About only critique I'd make is...maybe 10% thinner pelvis/thigh gap. Overall proportions are good but the codpiece feels just a skosh overwide, IMO. But then... Davion's do tend to flee the need to overcompensate, so I guess it might be appropriate? :P

Trevor R.N.

It's good, but it just looks a little off, unbalanced perhaps...

Mike

I won't be sad if the busy is toned down some, but it's not like I'm going to mind fielding it.

Christopher Eastwood

Looks good. Just promise it wont be as small as previous miniatures.

It'll be fine, they have a definitive scale to follow now, in relation to each other, every mech will be the height they should be.

I miss the Death Star Trooper Hat...

Theodore Kurita will look awesome rocking around in this

I can agree that the proportions of the legs look just a tish funny - maybe the thigh gap? Overall I like it though... I like the LWB more (I get all kinds of hot and bothered about elbowless gun arms) - but I think that your rendition will look super awesome once it gets into some really cool dynamic pose. Great work.

BFenix

What? A Victor that's not hunching on itself from getting punched in the belly? Preposterous!

Anonymous

I have no criticisms on this one. Looks good. Stamp it. Ship it. Great job!

Henning Boessler

This is a great new model - again! Thanks for taking care of the Victor - this is one of my favourites in the assault class and even if it´s not that grand in 3025 I love the Stealth one and the Davion variant with the UAC20. Looking forward to painting and playing!

James Bixby

My son is going to LOVE this

Jarod DePastene

I am one of those FedRats, and I LOVE this Victor.

Joshua Bressel

Oh.... I'm in love! This is just STUNNING! It is perfect!
