Hi All,

I’ve just completed a new mecha. I started this some weeks ago with nothing more in mind than a desire to Build Something Using Green. The first two attempts were ok, but kinda goofy looking (photos available on request), but I’m pretty happy with the third.



I was going to enter this in the Civilian Contest in the otherwise empty Mecha category, but I got stumped on the legs (which ended up being stumpy) and didn’t get it finished in time. Such is life.

I can never thing of names for these things, so I’m open to suggestions.

plmkwyt.

Cheers,

Allister

still no sig

PS. ‘bout time we had a mecha building contest isn’t it?

(...) Awesome "Lenny Shot", Allister. I can't remember seeing a mech doing a "thumbs-up" before. The mech is also cool. You got all the joints to work plus the right sculpturing to prevent it from looking like a box with stick-limbs. The proportions (...) (20 years ago, 7-Jul-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) You are my new hero. I tried to start a mech a few months ago with similarly sized feet, and got stuck at the hips, even using the same ball joint. Your solution is fantastic!

..... Actually I don't know what to say. What a fantastic mech this is Allister. When and where can we buy this model moc??! It looks so smooth and stylish. One of the most beautiful mecha I've seen!
