Hello all,
I have been very busy as of late. What with buying a house, moving in, and
preparing for the arrival of our first child (she is due May 6, btw), I haven’t
had much time for building.
The pimp my Mech contest got me all up in arms to use the color I have the least
of, Orange! After some fits and starts, I came up with my latest mecha, the
Kestrel.
Deep Link: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1743012
The Kestrel is a light Mech weighing in at 30 tons. Produced by Clan Ice
Hellion, the Kestrel was designed to fill the role of heavy recon. When the
enemy is found, it will draw as many of them back towards friendly lines as
possible by harassing them from long range with the ER large lasers it carries.
The Kestrel has the maximum armor for its weight class, is very fast, and has a
nasty bite for something so small.
As per usual, the stats here are expressed in terms of Battletech.

Please, let me know what ya think!

| (...) Is that really orange?! It looks very dark in your pics, although I like the colour scheme nonetheless. Actually I like the whole thing. The torso and cockpit are done very nicely, and it does look light and agile enough as befits its (...) (19 years ago, 21-Apr-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| Wow. Its good to see more orange mechs these days. The look of the mech and and the name definitely suit the skirmisher role. One sight mod I'd like to see on the feet though is replacing the 1x2 black plate and adding a modified orange slope like (...) (19 years ago, 23-Apr-06, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| Very nice work, Jon. I'm also liking the orange color scheme you've chosen there. Are the dark orange parts from 4884 Wild Hunters? I'm definitely going to have to check out that color. Hope you can keep on building in between diaper changing! ;) (...) (19 years ago, 24-Apr-06, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| (...) I like that bright orange/burnt orange color combination, I don't think I've seen that before. That cockpit design is also cool, a little more impact than just a solid wedge piece, although I wish the color matched. I'd suggest trying to get (...)
