Two new Mechs in the BrickMech modular format. General gallery when moderated: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=109490 The arms on these are from September, when Rick Hallman and I bought some MechWarrior booster packs (WizKids) at Foundation Con. I was never inspired on the legs--a condition which you'll see in the pictures continues but I wanted to do SOMETHING) The Jolly Reaper: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/pguenthe/mechs/reaper/p1010009.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/pguenthe/mechs/reaper/p1010013.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/pguenthe/mechs/reaper/p1010014.jpg His little brother, the Ripper: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/pguenthe/mechs/reaper/p1010015.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/pguenthe/mechs/reaper/p1010019.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/pguenthe/mechs/reaper/p1010020.jpg The trick with building these guys is not only do they have to be modular, but they have to be STURDY, so that a kid or non-Lego fan adult can move them around in the game without joints coming apart, etc. That's why I build the legs without hips. Hopefully sooner or later I'll get a couple leg designs I like and just build those in different colors for these guys. Peter
