Check out the "Traikon" Heavy Assault Mecha- (URL) at 14.5 inches tall, the Traikon is my first mecha with Gundam-style hip and leg armor. Special thanks go out Eric Sophie and MC7- the ankle assembly is a modular version of their recent mecha frame (...)

(...) Hi Todd, this is the first creation I see where gray and blay are mix, and don't look totally displaced. You managed to mix them in a way making them match in most cases. Especially the rifle is really good looking. I appreciate the dismantled (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jul-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) I agree with Bryce..this mech has a very clean look to it. The color scheme also looks great. I am glad to see that you were able use an idea from the frame I designed. Eric gets credit for the spine and the hands and we worked together on the (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jul-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

(...) Wonderful mecha Todd! I especially like how the colour scheme and repeated 6x6 dishes unify the whole. You achieved excellent harmony with this one. I also like the gun. :-D The hands, although ostensibly sturdy, are out of proportion with the (...) (19 years ago, 26-Jul-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Thanks, Mladen. The way I used those dishes was inspired to a degree by some of your designs to be honest. (...) Yeah, they're about 50% too big, and I realized that during the final stages of building, but I wanted them to be strong enough to (...)

(...) Thanks, Marcus. I'm sorry about the confusion on my part. Anyway, your ankle design is one of the most innovative construction methods I've seen in this forum. I can see it catching on like wildfire, Thanks again. Later, Todd (19 years ago, 26-Jul-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

(...) No apology is needed. I am glad you were able to use the idea. Eric and I had worked on the frame together to improve it. When I built the original, it had its flaws but served its purpose as a frame to build over. Eric mentioned some ideas (...) (19 years ago, 26-Jul-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

(...) I thought more about the proportion of the hands and decided to redesign them, and take new pics. Check out the improvements. I appreciate the constructive criticism. Later, Todd (19 years ago, 8-Aug-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Yeah they look better now. I recall Colin Gutierrez once had an awesome plate hinge hand design, but now his site is gone. However, IIRC, Mark Sandlin used a slightly modified version of it for his (URL) HM9 Enforcer Heavy Mecha>. Check it out (...) (19 years ago, 8-Aug-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)
