I went back to a mech design I made over a year ago. I wanted to revisit it for 2 reasons: to make it more my own and to push my design skills.
You can view the original design sketches from an older update here:

Although the new design feels less like an elephant than the older design, I am still happy with it for a variety of reasons, namely that its my own and not a Ralph McQuarrie rip-off. I'd like to return to it at least one more time to address some of the other design problems I think it still has. Perhaps a year from now?
Overall, I'm happy with the outcome.
