 | | New MOC: "Crab" Tank Mecha —Mladen Pejic
|
| | | (URL) Click on Image I'm back after a little diversion... It's feels so good posting about an MOC again. This mecha is a little bit of everything; part GITS fuchikoma, part Soren-ish colour usage and detailing, and part real-life AFV. Enjoy! (URL) (...)

And I can always count on you to make your mechs well armed. Awesome classic dark gray color scheme. (...) (20 years ago, 19-Jul-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

The upper portion of the legs bug me a bit too. Guess I should (...) (20 years ago, 19-Jul-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| | | | | (...) Niiiice. I see the influence of your last multilegged mech, in the square body plan, but I absolutely LOVE that red chin sensor turret! The shape is so organic but so, well, square that the net effect is very pleasing on the eye. I also like (...) (20 years ago, 19-Jul-04, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| | | | | | (...) Heh, this is why I love reading your replies LFB, you get the reasoning behind the design! Yes, the "head" was originally a dull block, until I started fiddling around trying to make it "sexier". :-) Too bad LEGO doesn't make pieces that are (...)

| | | | | (...) Mmmm, I like it. Your usual attention to detail shows, the "icing" on this one is very nice. I think you missed the boat on the general shape though; this design begs for some asymmetry in weapons placement. Otherwise, a nice addition to your (...)

| | | | | | (...) Thanks Soren! Yeah, I originally did think of an asymmetrical design but I knew I'd mess it up somehow. I like to keep things simple, so I always opt for symmetry. (...)
