i’d like to intruduce to you the TS-1 Vanguard. this is the smallest scale
mecha i’ve made to date, but it has one important thing--an actual driver!!
inspiration came from mecha by jun nishizawa and soren roberts’ landmates.
needless to say, lmkwyt.

Hey Jason, slow down man, you’re making the rest of us look bad. :-)

I really like this MOC, it’s refreshing to see such a no-nonsense, well
proportioned mecha. The lack of head is nice too, as it lets you experiment
with new weapon positions.
|
thanks. i originally wanted to use a head, but since the cockpit was already
done, it made no sense to put a head on top of the canopy.
| |
I also prefer those types of blocky fingers to the
amorphous, and IMHO unattractive, GLA-GLA ones
|
i’m glad you noticed. the minifig fingers seemed too organic for this guy.
when i originally started this moc, i gave it up for awhile ‘cause i couldn’t
get it to look right. but i really liked the hands so i kept trying to build
something that would compliment them.
| |
a small, folding stock submachinegun! Stylish Jason, very stylish!
|
had to stay true to the “rotgeist” retractable weapons idea.
| |
The only things that I feel don’t belong on such a austere and rather
“realistic” mecha, are the thrusters on the back and the legs. They just seem
out of place on this “Gasaraki”-like design.
|
interesting point. I thought they not only added detail to the legs,but also
complimented the thrusters on the back. believe me when i say that i don’t
believe in flying power suits. the rockets are actually jump-jets which i find
to be most practical (if, albeit, unrealistic).
| |
Anyways, thanks for the inspiration; I’ve been thinking about doing a mecha
along these lines for some time. This only makes me think more about it! :-)
|
don’t resist the urge...succumb to it...feel it...live it...
can’t wait to see your next one, mladen.
