Hi all,

Been a while since I last posted, since my last (not quite finished) post I got distracted and built this...

Brickshelf Link http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=131207

It is heavily inspired by the works of Soren and Mladen and obviously Shirow Masamune, whose work I love. Took about 6 hours to build, over 2 days. The pilot has minimal armour protection, but the DB 115 features advanced counter-measures as well as an impressive array of firepower. This comes in the form of satellite guided missiles, plasma field disrupter, EMP array and short- range pulse cannons. The DB 115 also features interchangeable front “arms” that can be tuned to suit numerous mission types.

Thanks for viewing, all critiques and opinions much appreciated!

Jas

Hi Jas,

this is really a nice piece of work!

  
It is heavily inspired by the works of Soren and Mladen and obviously Shirow Masamune, whose work I love.

Sorry, I don’t know the last one (but I’ll have to seek for him!). The inspiration can easily been seen. You did a good job! You were inspired but you built your very own creation.


   Took about 6 hours to build, over 2 days.

Hey you are fast!

   The pilot has minimal armour protection

That’s the only thing I don’t like! Why should one build a piloted combat machine which is totally useless without the pilot and not take care for him?
I think human ressoures like good trained combat pilots are worth protection!

That sounds quite well armed!

Thanks for shareing. It’s a pleasure to look at. I’d like to see more detail pictures e.g. of who you attached the legs.

  
Jas

Keep up your good work,
Marco

Hey cool, lot's of stuff attached to the Multiped. I was thinking it could do
with longer legs. Though that is up to you. The body has cool stuff, perhaps
extend the legs and you'll show off the chunky body?

Good detail, thanks for sharring!
Great props to the builders you mentioned too.

This is a slick build, especially for only six hours! (I think I may have already spent six hours just on the feet of my current mech project.) It definitely reminds me of the work of the builders you mention. I like how you contoured the front section with the different slopes and wedges.

Note to Marco: Masamune Shirow is a Japanese manga artist who has designed some excellent mecha. Just off the top of my head, I know that Mladen, Soren, David Rabadan, Mark Neumann and I are all Shirow fans (as well as probably a bunch more builders in .mecha that I didn’t know about or forgot).

All I can say is thank goodness for distractions. I’m loving this multiped. Very SorMladen or MladSoren as the case may be. You’re details and excellent photography give it just the right touch, Jas.

Great job!
