i have a pile of monstrosities lying in a designated Blender creations fodler, but they all are missing limbs, heads or fine details, so here's a reimagination of Brotherhood of Nod's Scorion Tank from the third tiberium war.

oh, yeah, tracks are missing, ignore that i had a few options what and how to put in their place, but decided to save the model as is and add means of movement later on when needed. plus you could see some rough corners, awkwardly bent surfaces or unevently curving lines - those all are results of experiemnting and insufficient Undo steps (should've increased those earlier :d ) ohohoh, and i wanted to paint it, but my machine is unable to process painting at this level of detail with reasonable speed, so i would've had to retopo and unwrap the whole thing, but i thought that would've been too much for now and decided to have a break instead and upload what i currently have x_x

so, why i felt like redoing the thing: i mostly liked how the original Scorion Tank looked and worked with few exceptions: 1. unupgraded tank had it's turret in front, so it was not even close to being scorpionish enough; 2. the front of the vehicle looked like a shield serving to protect the rest of the vehicle, but it was not very good considering how all other parts of it except for the very core were sticking out all around the shield; 3. redundancy - she shield could rotate, but it didn't have to ,because upgraded turret moves to the "tail" of the vehicle (another redundant part) and rotates on it's own, also, bulldozer blade can be mounted on the vehicle, but it is attached to the shield part, so rotatting the shield makes even less sense if the tank is suposed to clear the path from lesser obstructions for the rest of the forces.

and now we have this: no shield parts are hanging around covering nothing, shield is thicker now, does not rotate, two pairs of smaller tracks are planned to be replaced with one bigger pair, turret moved to the back, "tail" is not moving anymore. so, overall reduction in complexity and removall of redundancy. plus the vehicle looks a bit more sane now - i have no idea how everything was fitting inside the original Scorpion
