The final Scorpion mecha would have:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The thick, axe-like pincers from the cardboard version<\/li>\n<li>The central-pillar cockpit controls from Dermot&#8217;s concept<\/li>\n<li>The giant flywheel and spiked tail from Roger&#8217;s concept <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/the-ottoman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Scorpion-curves.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Scorpion curves.jpg\" width=\"520\" height=\"331\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The last stage of the process was the above diagram from the art director, showing the invisible lines formed by the Scorpion&#8217;s proportions. It was vitally important that these proportions be preserved when bringing all the components together. It took many designers and modelers countless rounds of revisions to create the Scorpion mecha, but I hope those of you reading this would agree that the results were well worth the effort.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment364\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment364\" style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/the-ottoman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/scorp-showcase.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-364\" title=\"Scorpion showcase image\" src=\"https:\/\/the-ottoman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/scorp-showcase-580x326.jpg\" alt=\"Scorpion mecha, 3\/4 view\" width=\"580\" height=\"326\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the-ottoman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/scorp-showcase-580x326.jpg 580w, https:\/\/the-ottoman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/scorp-showcase-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/the-ottoman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/scorp-showcase.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment364\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Model by David Alvarez, Sandi Dol\u0161ak and Magne Lauritzen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment363\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment363\" style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/the-ottoman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/scorp-2nd-angle_alt.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-363\" title=\"Scorpion 2nd angle\" src=\"https:\/\/the-ottoman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/scorp-2nd-angle_alt-580x326.jpg\" alt=\"Scorpion mecha, front view\" width=\"580\" height=\"326\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the-ottoman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/scorp-2nd-angle_alt-580x326.jpg 580w, https:\/\/the-ottoman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/scorp-2nd-angle_alt-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/the-ottoman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/scorp-2nd-angle_alt.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment363\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Model by David Alvarez, Sandi Dol\u0161ak and Magne Lauritzen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we headed into the Scorpion mecha&#8217;s final modeling phase, it was time to unify all the various contributions to the design over the months.
