Are you using the same teknomeka frame for each of these creations, or do you
build one frame per mecha? I would love to see a group photo with the Giant
Robo, this mecha, and some of your other large creations.
Great work!

Thanks. I built two frames during development and reskinned the second one
several times. I wanted to see if I could get a retro look. This one looks eager
to fight Getter Robo G, hatchet to hatchet.
All the giant robots from the 70s anime series were sort of rounded and
impractical and the bad guy robots always had a gimmick, a unique weapon of evil
genius (to make it look like they had a chance of winning, for the sake of
drama). That “Garada K7” looks fierce. I like the accentuated edge to the blade
that says “I’m sharp enough to cut you in half”. My robot’s horns shoot red
lightning bolts, they are very dramatic, with background music, and cackles of
evil laughter.
I’ll do a group photo when I finish resorting and cleaning up my construction
area.
