Dis here is Horodris. Treat him real nice and he’ll do the same.
Some points of notes:
I made the neck move on all three axis, if the head looks funny, it probably
because it is at a strange angle.
mucho gearing in the legs. This is what is holding it up basically.

Average height is 2’ tall. Depending on how you articulate the legs, maybe
taller, maybe shorter. Arms are geared at shoulder for rotational axis only.
The rest of the arms uses the newer click/rotation joints.
The hand is good. The fingers I know you seen before, but the thumb rotates
as well as bends, the result is a thumb that can touch all four fingers and
can lay the hand flat. Sweet. I had a really, really hard time capturing
the hand, here’s the shot.

Build time was around 20 hrs total. Horodris demanded to be built, what can
I do about it? But the name was eleusive. This mech was called Project Ogre
up till four hours ago, when upon completion, the name Horodris came in LOUD
AND CLEAR. I really don’t know what Horodris is, it just came to mind.
Strike any bells out there?
Hmmmm, what eles? I tried to capture the detail, if you want more let me
know, I’ll see what I can do. Most pics are small for your viewing
convienance, with one execption
this one. Big and
beautiful baby.
There is a cockpit and engine. The red thingys on the back of the shoulders
are supposed to be jet packs. I really didn’t intend the back to look like a
face, but when I looked at it, it fit so I leave it be. With the execption of
the staff, Horodris is a weaponless mech. (GASP) Well, ok, so there was
something there I knew I screwed up. :)
Enjoy folks.

Hey Mark,
I did a Google search and I found that Te Horo is the name of a beach on New
Zealand and DRIs is the Dietary Recommended Intake. Sooo...this beast was
obviously created to search the beaches of Te Horo to take the DRIs of
unsupecting beachgoers. The staff is OBVIOUSLY a rectal thermometer. Obviously.
:-P
Obviously this guy is pretty cool. When you build this large you can get
creative with the face, that’s what I like the most on this guy. Oh and I like
the hands too. My favorite pose is this one:

It looks like he’s just finished a good karaoke set and is stepping off stage.
And a 20 hourbuild?!? I give up.
Cool Beans.

| (...) Ha! Ok, that is kind of scarier knowing the orgin of that. Ouch. I managed to find in a Ukrainian dictionary that Horod is a kind of battlement on a hill. But nothing on Ris. Probably means light. Therefore the staff'd be a stoplight and (...) (20 years ago, 27-Nov-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
