Hi all. I’ve been a lurker for some time now, and I’ve finally ballzed up enough to want to share what I’ve worked on. Just some background info, I came across the foundrydx.com site in early 04 and it blew me away! I’ve always wanted to build mechs out of legos, but never knew that they could be done like this. Anyhow, I gave it a shot myself, and came up with my first ever mech (sadly, it no longer exists). However, I kept the very next one, and everyone thereafter. I even gave a shot at trying a transformer type mech! They’re all almost a year old now, and I have a few more things done and a few wips ... coming later :) I hope that these stand up to the great things I’ve seen here. Please, all comments and crits welcome (even the nastiest crits!)

Thanks, E.

Weclome to a dot mecha, where Lego mechs can stomp free. (...) This is my fav of the bunch. Great porportions, good balance, the big old ax is a nice touch.

(...) Hey Eric! (...) I can see the foundrydx influence. I think that was a good place to start. I never really got into those creations other than "eye candy" because minifigs did not seem to be able to use them. I am a big fan of getting those (...)

(...) All three of these are good, but Tapatio is my favorite. It's got the visual impact of an all-red color scheme, the proportions are good and "beefy", articulation and posability are excellent, and it's got character. I'm especially impressed (...)
