I present the Qwilljox:

One of many piloted Mecha the Qwilljox refers to the class of pilots in the Light Mecha system.

(Pilot pix soon to follow - heh heh)

I built this one to expand on some technique used to build the LBB.

I Hope to add more detail and possibly some wings. I tried not to take it to serious therefore admittedly there are some things about it I’m not happy with. I guess it’ll grow on me, or I’ll work it untill it does appeal to my Mecha senses. Other than that it was just fun. I need to focus on getting myself out to Bricks West...so I need to stop production on this for awhile. Besides I always wanted to make something with those lil blue quater domes!

Additional back story see Brian Cooper.....

GO FOR IT K!!!

Backstory... hmm.

The big eyes and light color scheme indicate a dark environment. The circular plaque is the mark of the planetary exploration consortium. This can only be the mecha used in the ill fated lunar ice expedition of 2087. Radar scans detected a new subsurface ice deposit on the moon. Water was highly valuable to the lunar colonization effort and a team was dispatched to investigate the feasibility of a mining operation. It was to be the first field test of a new subsurface exploration mecha... All contact with the Quilljox was lost ten minutes after it descended into a surface fissure. Despite subsequent excavations at the site, no sign of the machine was ever detected save for the characteristic claw marks in the lunar rock. Some say this “sign of the Quilljox” has been seen in deepest caverns of the moon, as if carved by some mecha ghost in an endless search for a route to the surface. The scary thing is that the mecha did have an autonomous mode and a nuclear power core so it could possibly still by wandering in the depths of the moon, with a skeleton at the controls.
