Praise from the “Master of Mecha”? Awesome!

   I can definitely see years worth of LEGO spaceship and mecha design theory in this masterpiece.


You’re not kidding when you say “years worth”. I still remember the “Galaxy Explorer” (497) I got in 1979 as my best Christmas present ever.

   The ship is just plain awesome. Although it is a *bit* unrefined, I see great potential for future designs based on it. The armaments are ingenious; the little 5-halfpeg-missile boxes really knocked me out. I was like, “it’s so simple, yet perfect, almost anime-like.” Heh, good work. :-)


I’m planning a re-design (someday) with some improvements. It needs to be a little taller inside so it can carry some true assault-class mechs, but then it should really be longer to maintain the proportions. It also needs a more consistent color scheme, and of course better greeblies and bigger weapons.

   The mecha are fantastic as well. Again, some of them are a bit unrefined, but the three largest ones show real style. Again, great work.

I seriously hope to see more MOCs from you. Your building styl reminds me of some of the Japanese builders, it’s very austere yet somehow captures the anime feel quite well.


I already promised some shots of the mechs individually, and I’ve got other un-photographed MOCs waiting in the wings, so I hope to post regularly for a while.

   Oh, and welcome to LUGNET!

Thanks!
