I did everything I could in black, but there were some parts in the cockpit and missile launchers that I didn’t have in black, so I left them in gray, but grouped the colors together. I was also disappointed with the original foot design, so I re-did the feet and a few other details, and this is the final product.

Kyle,

This is a great Mech! I really like the compactness of it. It just has a look of sturdiness and that translates to power. Good job.

I really liked the rounded missile bins. I think that is quite inovative to use half a cylinder. It may not be “realistically functional” but it looks awesome from the front and from behind.

I dig the cockpit. When I first looked at the Mech as a whole, I thought the cockpit was static but the to see it open up, was a real surprise. I think I liked that the most. Back to comment one, it really shows the compactness of the MOC.

The soldiers are a great touch too.

Thanks.

Brian

Thanks for the feedback, Brian. The framework underlying the legs probably looks a lot like the bionicle legs on your Kalate OmniDroid--I just attached some bricks with Technic connections, and built the armor cladding from that base, which gives it the compact, sturdy appearance.

(...) Ummm. Now I better see why everyone wanted me to beef up my Kalate. For me a newbie, the Kalate leg design was very new but for everyone else they could see where I needed to go. Nice, thanks for the input. Brian (19 years ago, 23-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
