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.

There’s like 79 cool things per square inch! Nay Stud!
ok, I sat quietly, silently, and enjoyably looked through each picture.
Quality pictures, as always, a given.
Unussual design, as always, a given.
Excellent blending of very cool pieces, a given.
I can’t get over how cool the dark grey pieces blend together. All those slopes
and elements comming together at different orientations. Super cool.
Dang! That turret/sensor on the front is elegant! LOVE IT. You always manage to
have something like that on most of your multi-legged Mecha, its a great
concept, real world like too. Very possible.
See but that’s what I love about your stuff, you make it more real than
fanciful. I gotta say those 6 anti-whatchamacalit dispensers (1x1’s with clips)
on the front of the Crab flared/faned out like that is just so cool to look at.
The two swiveling gun pods on the front are a trade mark. and the two main
cannons look mean.
The legs look like they can take direct hits. But until I saw the undersides,
that’s when I really started to enjoy their construction.
Yo, let’s talk about the tail fin section. Wow, I have this theory.
Mladen builds with the attempt of blending natural brick shapes together.
Using elements together to form smooth transitions and clever shape blending.
You have a nack for seeing the elements that should be used together and then
you find the one or two peices that make them work together.
And may I say, all of us who have built a cockpit, either in a ship, vehicle or
Mecha, enjoy seeing how you did this one. We all know that you only get so much
space when using a mini-fig. That is to say, at a 4 stud across, at the elbows
of the fig distance. Using those 4x4 hinged pieces is perfect. They fell right
in place. Or so it seems.
I really want you to take all these design elements and work them into a second
version of this Tank Mecha. I only say that because these design ques will work
where ever you decide to use them.
Sorry to slobber all over your Mech. I just love seeing what you come up with.

P.S. Can I use one of your Mecha pics for the .mecha User Guide?
(Within the document as a “Poster Mecha”, please may I)
