(...) Thanks Stuart. That's basically what I did, just built the main frame/body, then "greebly'd" it up a lot. I wanted to simulate the inner workings showing in places and such. I'm really getting to love the grey and tan color scheme too. :-) (...) (23 years ago, 8-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Thanks Bobby. (...) The plating for the cockpit is the head. You could do it in terms of eyes (this mech's sensors). The two space guns on the front (one with red 1x1 dot, one without) are the mech's sensors. Kind of jumbled tho...good pics (...) (23 years ago, 8-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Hey, All- Chris Maddisons' model, the Cypher, is currently the first entry in the mecha contest! Check it out at (URL) ! Also, I'll let Stuart's Bullfrog enter, as long as nobody else tries the "delayed post" entrys. I really like it! Ryan Wilhelm (23 years ago, 8-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) This is a very nice piece. It is so densely packed that I didn't even notice the pilot right away. I like the sheer bulk of it-- incredibly massive on a small scale. And the colours are fab! stuart (23 years ago, 8-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Thanks GAMH. You have picked the right reference-- Shirow is always a big influence. His Landmates are so pared down and organic, though, it's a personal challenge to achieve in a rectilinear medium. thanks for your comments. stuart (23 years ago, 8-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Hi all, The Cypher is my most recent mecha. These pics were taken with a 35mm camera, so excuse the blurriness. I was simply trying to make a reverse-kneed minifig-scale mecha. I'm really beginning to love the grey and tan color scheme. (URL) (23 years ago, 7-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Excellent. I think you did a very nice job of making rounded shoulders. Reminds me of one of Masamune Shirow's Landmates from Appleseed. I don't recall very many Technic scale mecha before. Cool. ~Grand Admiral Muffin Head (23 years ago, 7-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
