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.

Tapatio - Created March 04

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
little guys in and out of my mechs. It adds something to the realism
of it...

...which brings me to Papa Smurf. You took the foundrydx look and made it
more
than “eye candy”. I agree with Mladen about the guns. I personally
use dark
gray or black to make them stand out.

I think the “snout” could have been longer. Also, it would be cool if
a head of some kind flips over the cockpit or the whole cockpit moves up
when in robot mode. But for a first time transformable mech it is not bad.
Take care,
David
