Time for some new stuff. A mech along the same ilk as the Black Eagle. Make it
look as real as possible and then make it a mech.
Wolf Spider is something of a cross of a hunting spider and a Jumping spider in
proportions and look. Four eyes, spinner, medium sized forarms (?) with the
fangs facing inwards (towards each other). The hose on the side of the body is
meant to echo the breathing slits found on the side of real spiders.
Now the mech bits

Cockpit in the head. Engine under the body stripes. Missle bay in the abdomen.
Forearms pivot fangs forward to reveal weapons cluster. I am not planning on
revealing what the spinner, in terms of mech functionality, does, I leave that
for all of your very talented imaginations to wonder what it might do...
Enjoy folks.
Oh, Mladen, I told you I’d get around to a multi legged mech. Ha!

Heh, Mark, that’s an awesome “spider” mech. The guns up front are classic
Neumann. I also like the colour scheme you chose, and the Technic leg
construction that you employed. The spinner works too, ‘cause this mech looks
light enough to be supported by some type of high-tension cable.
Overall, nice job Mark.
BUT lemme ask you this, can it go toe-to-toe with my
MWP? Ha, I think not.

Hmmm, perhaps not. But remember, in the Cockpit of a MWP, no one can hear you
scream.... “Where are the signals coming from?!?! They’re everywhere man! I
can’t get a lock... aaahahggggg...**static**”
mwhahahahahah!

Mark,
The body of this is very cool - I always love seeing something that looks like a
real animal, but is actually a robot-mech - especially how you did the cockpit -
it is very nice. The body of the spider itself is also very cool - both
mechanical and organic. this is one of the reasons why exoskeletal
(insects/arachnids/etc) make such good sci-fi fodder - they are both organic and
mechanical looking at the same time.
but I have to be honest, i dont really care for the legs. the seem to
‘squarish’ amd regular to me - i imagine wolf spiders to have more variation in
their legs (like going from very wide down to a point).

Thanks Lenny,
I hear you. The legs kind of bug me because of the holes, but the shape more
than makes up for it. I went to cover and build on the legs but then I lost the
slenderness and “spideryness” (word?) of them. Once I started to build they
looked really, really stupid.

Mark, epic, creepy spider-mecha, but where is the Hammer!? Time to bring the
Hammer down on the competition. Back to the spider, nice economical cockpit
that doesnt detract from the insectoid shape, and the abdomen missle launcher is
a great touch..of death! By the way...where is the Hammer? Its Hamma-Time!

Sorry I didn’t get a chance to pick your brain at PDX, your mocs are
mind-blowing in person.

Yeah, Hammer is coming soon. I’m hoping Mladen gets so wrapped up kicking my
poor little spiders around that Mladen’s kick a** multi legged mecha don’t see
the Hammer striking the anvil. So to speak.
It’s sad in a way, I love my MOCs but I’m pretty passive with the photography.
Even my dad wants to help me out to get better pics. That’s what makes this so
much fun for me. People see these things in person and then get blown away.
hehehe.
Later Bro
Mark
