But the Spartan mech was only half the fun, I also had to build a smaller mech for the Spartan to beat up on, in the “maize” and blue (okay, yellow and blue) colors of our archrivals, the University of Michigan Wolverines. So, here we see the Wolverine medium mech facing off against the Spartan assault mech...

Hehe. Inspiration can come from anywhere eh?

These are good looking mechs. I especially appreciate the skeleton shot. I should do that sometimes. This is, after all, .build.mecha. It’s an interesting style - very brutish, but realistic, if such things could ever be considered realistic.

Thanks! Count me among those interested in seeing more joint tech examples. Eric has certainly done his part in that regard, but in the scale I like to build in, I just don’t know if the worm-gear-box joint is workable. (I know, I should get off my lazy butt and just try it...)

   The ‘Lenny shot’ could use some work though. You’re not being quite effusive enough. ;)

Like I told Mladen, I chickened out...
  
   BTW, anybody else’s school colors make for an interesting mech color scheme?

Do I sense an Inaugural Brickfest School of Origin Mecha Face Off in the making?

That would be sweet! BTW, I’ll be anticipating that multi-pedal weapons platform you mentioned earlier...
   Cheers,

Allister
