Merkas-2014 Renders
Happiness is finding new things to do with old models.
The Merka from Rebel Minis still holds up.
These are simple renders in Rhino3d, using the "Sandstone" material for the textured brown, and dark grey for the propulsion units.
The Grav versions didn't go into production, but elements of their design went into the RUMV a-grav engines.
You can buy the single Merka 5 here.
Single Merka 9 here.
Here for Merka 5 platoon packs.

Edit to add: I took Coolhand's advice to re-render with a single illumination point. A small Point Light at 30% intensity, up and offscreen to the left of the tanks. Here's the results...
I do like the affect. Thanks, Steve!

Maybe try experimenting with adding a single, shadow casting point spotlight to your renders.:)
I want to start rendering and maybe even animating old builds for promotional purposes for my clients.
It might help, having a Youtube commercial, for selling product.
We'll see. Rhino really doesn't seem to lend itself to anything except NURBS modeling.
Best,
