Looks pretty good, still needs a skin too. This is a good WIP.

If you'd done the proper Tripod from the Jeff Wayne's musical version, I'd have repped you... That just doesn't look *evil* enough! Ho well, looks nice enough.

The legs look pretty messy, but the wireframe should show that.

Yeah, the movie Tripods sucked, hell, the whole movie sucked. The game and the book are much better.

Nice model though.

yes indeed they where! But the Jeff Wayne things are just so classic ^^

I kinda enjoyed war of the world really. It was just a pity they had to holywoodize the thing. The basement scene took way too long, Tom cruise is way too gay, the ending was way too America, and that kid couldnt have lived. Other then that, it was quite fun.

The heat rays made up for everything.

that old pic pwns, it looks like it would fit into wc3 perfectly (besides the legs ofc.)

The new model shots look pretty good, but i dont really trust those legs.
