Some nice pics in the front - older crappy pics in the back. His arms used to have an extra degree of rotational motion, but the heavy forearms had difficulty being supported, so I went with better looking shorter upperarms with better stability.

The concept was for it to be a Steampunk style, but when I incorporated the brown and that hat, it looked more Techwest. I also made some of Soren’s gun designs, but I like the look of him without all the weaponry. More pics of him to come in the future.

Clank is a reference to Steampunk style bots used in the comic Girl Genius. I was inspired by Franklin Cain’s yellow clank. The original idea for the Wanderer was that he was gonna be a bigger version of the yellow clank.

a very creative mech, lenny. even without reading your post, i knew it had a “western” theme going. nice choice of colors and shapes; they definately give it a gunslinger look. all it needs is a long coat a-la william munny from “unforgiven”. i’d love to see it in a duel pose--you know, with his legs bowed and his arms hovering over his holstered pistolas. great theme--keep going with it.
