Extended description to come...

I like it. Although, it seems like the rear turret and the back stick out.

Meh, it looks a little multicolored. The overall concept and design is good though.

I like the design but It looks more like a droid AAT if you look close try changing the brown then it will look more cloneier






WOOK

Good point Wookieedude, it does look more like a droid tank then a clone tank. Try to reduce the number of colors used on a single build. Less rainbow = more real.

yes I agree, the concept is very nice but it's too multicolored.

Here's a good example. Keep It Simple S... or KISS. I used Yellow and Gray. A little light gray too and a headlight color and a gun tip color. Then I chose a figure that would stand out from the transport.



Yes, Mara Jade on a hooknose speeder.

For coloring, I think it's best to go like this:

Most abundant: Base color. For the Republic, this should be either white or grey.

Second most: Secondary color. This is usually Dark Red for all things Republic.

All other colors: Those should be the only two main colors outside. It's ok to have 'lights' on them, but other colors should be extensively used to decorate the inside of big things (like yellow).

Now, Brown is a No-No for all republic vehicles, I think. It represents the Trade Federation. Blue is also a no-go, as it is the color for the CIS.

Dark blue is okay though, especially if it is from the Rancor Attack Sqaudron.

You can still play around with colors in the republic, you can use both shades of gray, white, and dark red! But you still try to keep it fairly simple. I think that CC and Rook said it preatty well.

I agree with CC007 and Rook, to multi colored. Dark blue is okay though. Look at the clones on Mygeeto, the sharpshooter waist cape is blue as is a bunch of pauldrons and capes.

Your friendly MOD was here.

I hear guys, and I agree. I am a sucker for colors, especially the way that some of the Delta7's I've seen pics of are painted. I could certainly change the blue anti-personell guns to complete black. Change the gun turret to complete grey, with black tip.

I still think that black can also be a republic color if it is used in a minimalist fashion, as I did with the TX-350. The black pieces are entry ports for the pilot and anti -personell gunner. The AT-TE and AT-AP used black in parts. It is often inevitable.

Unfortunately, the two major brown pieces at the front I don't have in red or grey which would have perfect. The bright red pieces added were an afterthought. Will try and come up with a new front... But in it's defense, the brown coloring could be used for "camo" purposes.

In fact, the version of the TX-350 pictured above has a special paint job to be used in a forest environment for infiltration behind enemy lines...

Even though everyone has stated the colors are bad, I'm going to say it again. I know that it is going to be used in forested areas regardlessly I think it could be and should be changed to white and dark red.
