Greetings, mechers!*

I would like to present my latest creation: the KOP (Keeper Of the Peace) Trooper. It’s not my first mech or mecha, but it’s the first one I actually came away from feeling really pleased about. Usually I’m a castle-builder, but this time I just felt like doing something completely wild, so I tried for a mecha. The pose contest helped me when I had some builder’s block, as well. ;-)

Building note: If you see any innovative designs in this creation, chances are they are not mine. I spent many an hour browser your excellent backlog of mecha creations and got a ton of ideas from there. So, to all you builders out there, thanks!

Anyway, enough blab:

Please let me know what you think!

what do you guys call yourselfs? Mechers? Mecha-Men? Mech Makers?
