Hello all,
Its been quite a while since I’ve posted here and its been ages since I built
anything. Its good to see some of the new builds out there, some truly awsome
work!
The latest project from D-Bloc, which is nearly completed, is “Gerraint”. It is
my favourite Mecha creation to date (my own that is!). Somewhat inspired by
watching the new Appleseed anime (totally amazing visually!). He took about
three evenings and I am still playing around with some finishing touches and
weapons. I utilised the Titan XP joints as well as some of the Chris Snead
armature design for the hips. I don’t have tonnes of bricks and thus some are a
little discoloured or perhaps not entirely appriopriate for thier placement.
There is a minifig in his chest in a compartment that opens, when I have totally
finished him I shall post some more pictures, here he is for now...
Here is a Brickshelf link (not yet public).

All constructive comments and critiques much appreciated, thanks for viewing
Jas

My least favorite part would be the forearms. I would add a little length on (...) (20 years ago, 23-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| Woah. Ok, studless cool factor going on there. (ok, a few studs here and there I know, but I'm calling this studless.) I like the head, plenty of personality in a compact space. It seems a trifle small but that is the Mecha style. (huge bodies, (...) (20 years ago, 24-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| (...) <snip> Very nice, solid mecha. I like the studless look a lot. I'm going to agree with Jeff and say the forearms seem out of step with the rest of the mecha. Other than that, great mecha! More more more! Later, Chris (20 years ago, 24-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
