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.

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

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! And is that paper stuck into the joint to make it have more or less friction, or am I just seeing a weird flash?

Oh, and the mech overall is quite nice. I like the overall chunky feel it’s got going, and the green accents are just the right amount of color. Great that you got a cockpit that holds a minifig in there too.
