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 look more steam-punk than anime--not my preference, but I think
probably tougher to execute. In the anime style, you can always correct your
shaping or spice up dull spots by adding fins, big guns or missile pods. I like
the green, and I like the UFO printed tile. Can’t help you with the name,
though. I’m no good at it either. Thanks for posting!
