  • what do you guys call yourselfs? Mechers? Mecha-Men? Mech Makers?

Personal preference: Mech builder. Mecha enthusiast is also a likely candidate. The first person to use the term ‘Mechanista’ loses an eye...

The review:

Not bad, not bad at all for a first creation, Nathan.

I like that you’ve built a well-proportioned humanoid body. I suspect this will translate into a mecha ogre or giant given your castle roots. I’m fond of the shoulders and the legs. Keep building this way and you’ll be a bonafide mecher yet! Things I didn’t care for: the hands. Pure and simeple, the hands are the toughest part of mecha building because of the scale you’ve chosen to work at. 95% of the time, this is the case with mech building. There are few hand designs that work well with any scale, but they do exist.

minifig me!
