I’m new here. This is my first post. I started building Mecha about 9 month
ago and the 22nd is the first that goes to public. It’s named Primech because
it’s the first one that actually got a name.

Welcome to .mecha!
| |
The arms are inspired by a mech frame by Christopher Snead. The waist gears
are a variation of Eric Sophies Little Bot.
|
I can see the influences in Primech. And no weapons even, *agasp* what is this,
.mecha becoming a hippy colony? Nah, not with people like Mladen and Soren to
keep the aromory quotent up.

I’ll be glad about all critics.

Marco, great 22nd mech. Especially for the scale and tech members you are
working with. I like your placement of gear controls. Downright sneaky some of
them. Almost too clever....
I want to give you some kudos for the
shoulder action. The hinge built in that allows the sideways swinging action of
the shoulder looks rather clever. (again!) Good job!
Use of the
rotating click hinge for the hip is a great idea. Flush out the idea with some
hip armor or some kind of covering that hides the wasp waist and you’ll be the
man.
The flat(ish) head and flat feet seem to imply alien. Which is
fine. It’s the rest of the proportions that seem off. The arms a smallish,
especially when compared to the legs, and the hands are downright tiny.
The light gray/red I can go with, but the transition to dk gray at the top threw
me somewhat. There’s a shift in depth for me and the upper body looks much
“heavier” than the legs. The chest detail doesn’t seem intergrated as well, not
helping the color shift. (this may because of brick supply, in which case
consider my color commentary blown out my bottom) But it looks as if you are
playing with colors and how to make them look good. I say this as the color
looks somewhat scattered around the mech. Not really what I’d call planned.
I
hope you’ll keep building. I think you’re doing good. Keep it up!
