A while back I posted some Mechs I had made for my BrickMech Game: This weekend, after running the game at Origins, I became inspired to build modular mechs. My goal is to create a system where players at Cons can quickly build sturdy, interesting-looking mechs. To that end I decided that a Mech was made up of a leg assembly, a torso, two shoulders, and two arms. (Having separatable shoulders makes for many more possibilities with a pool of parts, not to mention more weaponry.) I've done a little bit of playing around and here's what I've got so far: General picture: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/pguenthe/mechs/modular1/p1010004.jpg Six components of one mech: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/pguenthe/mechs/modular1/p1010005.jpg A second mech and its components: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/pguenthe/mechs/modular1/p1010006.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/pguenthe/mechs/modular1/p1010007.jpg A third mech and its components: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/pguenthe/mechs/modular1/p1010008.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/pguenthe/mechs/modular1/p1010009.jpg Some recombined mechs: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/pguenthe/mechs/modular1/p1010010.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/pguenthe/mechs/modular1/p1010011.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/pguenthe/mechs/modular1/p1010012.jpg When recombining Mechs I didn't swap legs or torsos because their colors match. Eventually I want to have 2-3 legs and torsos in each color to give even more variety. Also I'm new to the Magic Wand tool in PhotoShop so I apologize for some little flaws in clipping out the backgrounds--and that the lighting wasn't right to easily clip out the backgrounds in two photos. There are lots and lots of arms, legs, shoulders, and torsos to build, so I'm going to be busy for a while. As for the game, I'm revising it based on Origins experiences and will probably post rules in late July. Peter

Very, VERY cool. I love this modular mini-mech concept. Richard Bryan. (20 years ago, 2-Jul-04, to lugnet.build.mecha)
