Yo, This is Shogun. Deep Link if needed.

A while back I posted a chassis that I was working on, here. Well since then the arms went through one full rebuild, the legs three full rebuilds, the body had one minor surgery, and a multitude of general goofs and corrections. It’s been a long three weeks at one work day per week.


Egads man, that is mighty fantastic! I am so amazed and astounded!

   A few points of interest.

I’m interested, I’m interested!

  
  • 22 (yes, you read right, twenty-two) worm gear joints

Yay!

  
  • Height varies but figure around 2’ tall

Sweet! It can crouch and stand tall, that is a hand full when adjusting. I feel your pain and bask in your brillance.

  
  • Preplanned break points for storage, shipping and general ease of handling

Awesome. Plus, since the Mech is a synergy of many components, those modules come in handy in this sense.

  
  • Missles, big ones, small ones, lots of em.

I love all the parts you used in this set up. The blue parts are so classic!

  
  • A big rifle called the KG Hippy Squisher (I’ll let you figure out KG is)

That is frelling amazing! A Mech that size holding a KGHS rifle! I’m about to go on phreak out mode!


WOW

  
  • Not necessarily stable but very posable

I find when I make a new Mecha, it takes time to understand about how it works. That is to say, we know the general functionality of the creation, given the time and consideration put in to each component during construction.

Though all of the dynamics are hard to imagine fully until put in to practice. Once the Mech is set up and a pose is sought, many joints needing minute adjustments are required to balance and maintain the stance.

Often resulting in a new learning curve each time a new creation is made. Simply due to the differing amounts of weights and combinations of joint types.

In short, I bet this Mech is a hand full. I know I break a sweat each time I set up one of my large Mecha. I still think in time, you’ll learn even more about what it can do.

  
  • There is a hidden cockpit in the back. No engine on this one, two reasons,

That part rules! Wow!

  
  • Yeah, it’s fun to play with


Mark these pictures are great. Thank you so much for your hard work and imagination.

   I’m gonna try a MOC page for this. so as soon as it gets moderated look for some insight to come forth there as well.

Enjoy Shogun mates! PLMKWYT

Dang, this Mech owns the current field. Your king of the heat sink heap.
