   Hi guys. This is my first mecha and first post. I’ve been a fan of mecha since I was a kid and have enjoyed looking at everyone’s creations for years. I figured I’d give it a go myself.

These guys were designed for the narrow confines of combat in urban environments. As a result the designers opted to arm them with pulse carbines as opposed to rifles and a detacheable force blade for cutting through obstacles and enemy armor. They are also outfitted with a small arm shield for added defense.

I am also working on a detacheable fast pak that can be added to the rear. In one of the pictures you can notice where I have attached the force blade to one of the contact points.

I had fun with this project and hope to continue with this theme. Comments n stuff are most welcome.

Hey, I like the feet. I’ve never tried to do flexing toes. That’s an interesting solution.
