wow, a scaled down mecha! that’s just my size! i really dig this one. it’s
just about the same scale as my spider tank. so, did you run out of brick,
or just thought you might try a smaller mech this time.

Yeah, the sand green was the limiting factor, parts wise.
| |
which reminds me--do
you cannabalize your giant mechs or keep them assembled?
|
No, I build a MOC, photograph it, LDraw it, and then disassemble it.
| |
anyways, on to the
review: my favorite part of this mech is the turret. it has a nice round
shape and (i know it’s already been said) it actually has a round
barrel--kind of like mixing the old with the new. i also like the color
scheme: you can’t go wrong with sand-green. i didn’t see a driver, so is
this one automated?
|
Thanks, and yep, it’s automated.
| |
nice use of anti-peronnel cannons both fore and aft.
|
Actually, the fore mounted device is a
standard camera, and the aft tube is an
electric plug, used to connect the mecha to an external battery.
| |
i’m not too fond of the legs, however. they do have a great sturdy shape to
them, but lack detail (not that mine had that much detail, either) that i’m
used to seeing in your mechs. perhaps that’s just due to the scale.
|
I don’t know what to think of them myself. Maybe I shouldn’t have used those 1x4
grooved bricks, but I just couldn’t resist; I love those pieces.
Thanks Jason, glad to hear from you, as always.

p.s. so when is your next bipedal mecha going to come out? i’m shaking with
anticipation.
|
Heh, I’m happy that you’re excited, but I don’t know if I want to venture into
bipedal land again. I really want to build a large, perhaps foot tall, mecha
again, but I’m simply too busy to do that anytime soon. :-(
