Deep in the heart of Biomechanical Bricks, a new Mecha has been created:
The Rizmit

Sorry, but I feel I must tell you what I honesty hink here. Although I still
find your mechs very impressive by their size and their complexity, I am not
at all impressed by this one. I fail to see the difference between this one
and the previous ones. As I said, *I* fail to see... Maybe it’s just me.
But I feel you master this construction scheme and maybe you should put your
talent to a different contribution, like maybe something else that a huge
standing robotic mech. Don’t get me wrong, I know you can! This is not a
dare or it’s not meant to insult you, au contraire! I am eager to see what
you will come up with when you’ll try something different.

Terry you picked up on a good point, let me explain.
For many years I have worked to build and construct a collection of large Mecha
creations. Recently, three of my large Mecha have fallen to the way side, either
from neglect or from just being very old.
So I took apart 3 of my Mecha models (I clasify the 3 foot tall ones as “Mecha”)
, leaving me with only one 3 foot tall model; The Gomgile.
I needed to create another 3 foot Mecha model to build up my collection again.
Rizmit while esthetically, it is reminisent of older designs, the frame is a
synergy of many techniques brought together either for the first time or in new
ways.
So yes, this new Mecha is a way for me to show my style. It fills in the gaps
left by the older departed Mechs.
I would caution you Terry. Many secrets of Mecha design are not so apparent to
the untrained eye. You need a little trainning in that department. But still you
are perceptive and you noticed that while “new” its certainly has an old feel to
it.
I was under an obligation to myself yo re-use some of the elements found in old
beloved Red Robot.

I’ve seen your Manthis. Now that is impressive to me. Maybe other people
would like to see you do something else as well? But I have no right to tell
you I want you to try something else. If this is what you get a kick out of
building, then ignore my post. I’m still very interested in your mechs since
they are a great source of inspiration when I build mechs myself (although
they are far from being nearly as good as yours).
|
I had to build another Mecha model to fill in the gaps left by the other models,
however I will make new creations in time that depart from the norm.
Trust me.
Thank you for your honest evaluation.
