Here we go, I put off posting progress pics for a while because, well, I wasn’t making much progress, or to be more precise, I wasn’t happy with the progress that I was making. I have two partially completed mechs waiting for scrap and finally this came about.

It may be difficult to see how that came to be this but I swear they are almost identical structurally. I still don’t know what to do about that weird pod thing on the left arm. What is it supposed to be anyway? Missiles? Some sort of claw? Sensor array? Espresso machine(the lever at the back)?



I can’t wait to see all the different versions of this mech. Looks like Brian Coopers is the most like the picture so far, but other’s have some very cool looking innovations coming along...

Perhaps it’s a giant bee hive. Though containing no giant bees, it scares the enemy with the implied threat of serious swelling and allergic reactions, particularly if the hive is disturbed. “Don’t fire at it! You’ll make the bees angry!” :-)

Progress pic number 3. Not a lot has changed this time, although I finally came up with a nice shape for the missile pod/shoulder armour. Heels that actually support weight are nice too. I could only stand it on carpet before these chunky heels.

Enjoy, Nathan
