#LUCIUS PATTERN REAVER TITAN SKIN#

Now that the basic missile array is complete its time to add the armour and detail.

The two wing rocket pods stowed until the situation warrants their deployment whereupon they elevate, have the capability to rotate 360В° as required, and fire in a ballistic trajectory in all a grand total 39 missiles 8 of which can also be fired line of sight. The most recent incarnation is the center battery being capable of forward firing the top two rows of rockets (9) fixed forward-line of sight in the stowed condition but also being able to firing all three rows of missiles in a ballistic trajectory. With the first picture being the original epic Reaver titan and my original rocket array thoughts on the array showing a non rotating forward firing fixed battery on either side of the main carapace but still having the capability of ballistic launching.

No, better to do quick sketches and better put the time to cutting plastic.ДЄnyway here are the drawings as it stands at the moment: Here we see the evolution of this rocket firing system From the original FW design to the latest version granted my concept art(?) leaves much to be desired but I don't want to waste a lot of time on preproduction drawings as I tend to get too involved with the imagined finished product picture to the exclusion of the actual building witness my preconstruction drawings of my Jaeger Titan Hunter which took weeks to produce. My big concern at the moment is will the extending actuators lift the array high enough to clear the carapace during line of sight missile deployment.

#LUCIUS PATTERN REAVER TITAN SKIN#

The front view shows the height above the left shoulder in the stowed position bearing in mind that all the hood and carapace components visible in this image are the underside skin not the top surface. Significant progress has been made today since I have also worked out the extending and stowing cylinders. Granted at the moment they appear too high but relative to the Mars carapace and shoulder armour they are slightly lower that the Mars equipment. You tend to lose sight of the scale of this thing as when I was cutting the chambers for the rockets they seem rather small but thinking about the size I realized these rockets are close to a meter in circumference.ДЇinal images for today show the carapace pods in their approximate stowed and firing positions. No, I'm not actually going to make the reloading system but I will insure there is adequate space were one to be installed. When finished the Reaver will have a broad shoulder look with Trapezoidal ridges where the pods and the reloading system are situated. A compact lethal self-loading system.I still have to work out the self loading and rethink the elevation cylinders.ДЄnyway below are the makings of four arrays with the possibility of two more mounted on the centerline carapace for a total of three on each Reaver provided there is space for the center array to fit. That's what I'm talk'n 'bout this is more what I had in mind when I first conceived of mounting the rocket array in the shoulders. For those who complain I take too many images of the same thing heres more of the same.
