Greetings! This post marks several firsts for me, my first LUGNET post, my
first Brickshlef folder, and my first mech! Anyway, here is Gladius, a
heavy assault mech:

That’s a heck of a debut, Tim. Let me be the first (and only) poster to
complain about the inadequacy of Gladius’ missile load-out. Who are you
trying to impress with a measly pair of 25-tube launchers? I’m kidding of
course.

You’re right of course. Why settle for demolishing a mere 50 targets when you
can obliterate 100. Or 1,000! Muhahahahahaha! My next mech will eliminate the
torso and arms altogether and just be a mass of 1x1 cone bricks on legs
| |
Seriously, I really like the detail around the edges of the launchers--that’s
a cool idea.
|
Thanks!
| |
The whole machine looks gooood--very Madcat-like.
|
The Mad Cat is one of my favorite mechs, the huge missile packs do it for me
every time. Glad I succeeded in capturing some of that.
| |
My only beef is the back side view. The back end just looks largely
neglected, and could benefit from greater detailing.
|
I agree. Truth be told, with the huge air intakes I was running into severe
balance and weight issues with the torso so I sort of cut its development off
early and wasn’t too eager to add a lot of detail. I will certainly work more
on this next time.
| |
Overall, a sweet MOC, and an impressive debut. Build more!
|
Thanks, I will!
