I present the all-apocryphal UNSC Gopher, a all-purpose light combat mech chock full of armaments.Â
Technical specifications to follow as soon as I make them up. About 9 points of articulation plus the windscreen, I can tell you that much.

Enjoy!

I present the apocryphal bUNSC Wildebeest/b, a heavy-duty assault mech, not too pretty but tough in the clinches. Technical specifications to follow as soon as I make them up. About 11 points of articulation including the windscreen.

You might also notice that this design incorporates an older style of of limb articulation, owing to material shortages and a lack of ball-and-socket joints.





Thanks for looking!

I present the apocryphal UNSC Kodiak, a medium-duty combat and utility mech. Technical specifications to follow as soon as I make them up. About 13 points of articulation plus the windscreen, I can tell you that much.

Not thrilled with the first two pics, but I figured I’d include them anyway.

Enjoy!

ideas for large mecha hands?

has anyone done a study/webpage of ideas for large mecha hand designs?

i'm looking for something between two and three bricks high.  fingers don't
necessarily have to splay or even flex (a good fist design is acceptable).

the obvious answer is just to browse the web and check out all the mechs but i
thought i'd check here first to see if anyone has built a page around various
ideas for hands/fists.

Its been awhile since I've posted an moc but i finally got around to taking pics
some models that I created over the past six months or so. I wanted to start
making use of my black and dark blue bricks so I've added a ShadowOps sub-theme
to the UESF. Check these out.

Hello Eric,

I saw the thumbnail on brickshelf the other day and imediately recognized
your style! Although this is different to your older builts it's still
recognizably your style.
Great work. Glad you build again.

Cheers
Marco

However, recently I started building again. I love building!

Looking good! I’m getting an odd architectural vibe off this one, which suits the mechs to be honest. I’ve always had trouble visualizing a mech based future, but works like these go a long way to grounding the whole genre. Maybe I’m just too stubborn of a castle lad... Thanks for sharing!

God Bless (as always),

Nathan

Mech Bay 16


This is my latest Mech Bay. I built this one for the Jersey City Artist Studio Tour,
and it took about 4 weeks to make. This year, I curated a show with
18 Artist for my 17th year of participation. October 3rd & 4th, 2009.



Mech Bay 16 features light box construction and uses an ultra rare
large clear base plate. Built as a ‘Reprogramming Facility’ for the
BLACK BEAR, the bay features an emotive programming automaton and a
single robotic arm. The Bay is built on x4 64x64 base plates and
splits in to separate sections for transportation.



There’s a gem of a Mini-fig:



Easy access to the light controls.



The Rizmit and Mr. Krinkle also came along for the display too.



Some construction shots:



Building the inner gantry support...



...and outer structure...



...my desk gets messy...:(

Enjoy!

What a gas! I like-ur-slopes. That is the biggest view screen I've seen in a
Mech Pilot's cockpit. LoL the kitty's, the wacky colors! Good luck with your
entry! Fine construction. Hey if you ever make another, get the feet to rotate
horizontally, helps add to the way it poses out when the feet can pivot outwards
slightly. Again, fun to see thanks! Fine photos too!

I’ve just completed my first mecha build ever. It is the OTOMech Model TK-MM and is the brainchild of the industrial design unit of ToT-LUG Industries and it is the first mech to come out of the up-and-coming design house. Weighing in at roughly 100 tons, it is designed as a mid-sized walker designed to support a ground attack. The walker stands roughly 35 feet high and can achieve ground speeds of up to 24 km/hr in transit mode. In primary attack mode, speeds are slightly lower due to diversion of power from the main drive unit to the auxiliary weapons and countermeasures systems.



I have never built a mech before, but I got assigned the category in the first round of the 2009 MOCOlympics. As I was sketching out various ideas for this, I felt I needed to try something that nobody else had ever done. It needed to be something that would defy the traditional mech genre. The OTOMech Model TK-MM represents my “girlish” side that enjoys things like fashion, shopping, and Shojo manga. Thanks to Mark Larson for the Fabuland Armored Guard Lab and Unit-design Group “power brick”.

More pictures can be seen on Flickr and MOCPages.

Comments are appreciated.
