Here’s a new mech to start your week off. Shade.
Deep Link

I’ve been trying to push myself lately, trying mecha stuff I don’t feel that I am particuarily good at. (read: small stuff) So how do you think I did? What could be better?

Shade is pretty posable, which is fun. I didn’t get any pics of it but this is my first mech that can stand on one foot. Yay, another personal benchmark.

Shade bends at the ankle, both knees, three directions at the hips, a swinging torso and the arms go all over the place.

I had fun with it and hope you enjoy.

Mark

(...) I am trying to figure out the eyes thing. I like it, kind of mysterious and ninja-ish. Oh wait, I figured it out. Nice. Nice Mech, especially for your first stab at it this.

(...) Hey, this is pretty interesting...I think this is one of the smallest models I've seen with the reverse chicken leg design - one of your trademarks. I like your use of colors.

(...) snip I absolutely love the calves and feet. You've got to have clearance for the ankle to pivot side-to-side, but you were able to recess the pivot axis low enough so that the front-back click hinge joint isn't sticking way up. In fact, you (...) (20 years ago, 20-Dec-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

well done dood, i gotta love the eyes, this mech has a lot of personality! (20 years ago, 20-Dec-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
  Re: Shade, Mech for the SnowLeopard Clan Ninjas
 
(...) I don't know, I've never been good at mecha. I like the poseability a lot, and the eyes are really clever. Do they actually stay in by themselves? I'd like to see Shade with some accessories, they usually make mecha more exciting to look at (...) (20 years ago, 20-Dec-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Wowsers. It reminds me of a Battlemech from the ol' League days. I think it was called the Weasel. F (20 years ago, 22-Dec-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) But can it stand on one foot, rub its belly and chew bubblegum simultaneously? (...) So what you are saying is that the Shade is kind of like a Romanian gymnast / mecha spanking machine? (...)

(...) wow--nice and compact. i didn't think you payed attention to the medium-scale mech. excellent color scheme. i'm not too thrilled about the head (little too wide,) but the eyes rock! are they gold coins? my fav part: the legs--still reverse (...)

(...) Great Mech! I like how posable it is. I am not much for weapons but the gun is a good detail for this mech. It can stand on one foot?....I would like to see. Awesome. Marc (20 years ago, 24-Dec-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
