Heh! GO ‘05!

Ok, I see all the good stuff that makes for Mladen battle platforms. I see a
few more studs than what is normal, I’ll chalk that up to cheap minifig labor
cuts, as is customary these days.

Yep, the minifigs are always to blame.
Honestly though, I can’t cover up everything, nor do I want to sometimes.

I see the rocking cockpic seat. That’s just fantastic. Reminds me of the
big sled platform from Akira actually. Sweet.
|
Yeah, I wanted to make this mecha very detailed. My logic was to make the basic
grey, dk. grey, and blue frame, and then add black, white, and yellow in certain
areas to denote “machinery”.

Legs are a good mix of beefy yet sized to match body. Not too big, not too
small, just right. The heel (?) supports are nicely integrated. That is to
say they don’t stand out at all and they (I’m guessing) fufil your needs to
get the leg to support itself. Function and form, nice.
|
Yeah, for anyone wanting to build a multiped at this scale, and not use gearing,
the heel is the KEY. If it goes, the whole models goes down with it.

Armed to the teeth in the legs. or would that just simply be, armed to the
legs? hahaha..... ah well.
|
Heh, I actually wanted to add more missiles... Ran out of 1x1 red and white
rounds though. :-P
| |
The danger stripes on the legs give a sharp contrast (color wise) and add a
nice detail. A bit of flash as it were.
|
Yes, that was my intent. See reply above.
| |
Compared to the legs the body core (not the wings) is plain, almost too
plain. Not boxy, just flat when compared to the depth and texture of the
legs.
|
As usual, you’re right on the mark, MARK! ;-)
The thing is, as much as I love SNOT, I don’t use it for everything, especially
when building something as simple a wall. Guess I should have used it more
though, to give the siding not just more texture, but more shape and as you say
create “depth”.

You’ve done it again sir. woof.
|
Thanks again.

| (...) See, I can't agree. I love SNOT too (I can never get over the urge to go "ew" to that) but the military plain-ness really helps in this case. It gives the platform a sense of "edifice" or "fortification"; add that to the curvature at the nose (...) (20 years ago, 9-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
