I just recently finished this mech. I built it so my other Medium mecha had
a counterpart.
I am mostly proud of the head design. I got the idea of using the "mowhawk"
from watching 'Mad Max' the night before :) The leg an arm design are
similar to my other medium mech. I tried to ditch the mostly black paint
scheme in favor of something more vibrant, IE the red.
The head was the first thing i built. It used one of those round green
translucent saucer things inside a technic figures helmet. The mowhawk is
made from the 1widex2long hinge plates with three teeth and the flat 1x2's
with 2 teeth.
Sorry about the quality of the pictures, my digital cam ain't the best, but
at least i have one. If i can, I'll try and get some more shots of the mech,
as well as me re-armed infantry squad :)
Please offer me your criticism again, as it helps me churn out newer and
better MOCs!

| Okay Frank, here's my thoughts: I'm feelin' the mohawk! This is brilliant and AKAIAC, the best part of the mech. It compliments the rest of the mech well-it helps accent the bulky feel of your design. That said, I can't say I like much else on the (...) (21 years ago, 28-May-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)
