Oooooo-tay.

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.
|
Strange is good as it is beautiful.
| |
mucho gearing in the legs. This is what is holding it up basically.

Heck ya! That rocks! I asked Peter Jennings and he said it was the biggity bomb
bad too!
| |
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.

drool.

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.

Sweet, That pair of hands helps add to the synergy of the Mech. You could palm a
monkey I bet.

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?
|
Neat name. Wow, Begging to be built? I know the feeling. Its more than that too,
I think. It is the free flow of knowledge and technique comming to life from
your finger tips. A master at work.
| |
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.
|
Trade mark touches. Mark.
;)

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. :)
|
Oooh, rounded rear walls and macoroni bricks. That pilot cockpit is fugg’n cool
as heck. Wow, this is so one of your strong points. I love to see it.
Mark this Mech is both wild and fantastic. I think the evolution in ideas and
technique is masterful. The colors are very cool and you manage to surprise with
the head and form. Not to mention the quick build. Great job.
congrats.
