(URL) Click on Image I finally completed this mecha. Phew. Anyways, this is my third posable bipedal mecha. It uses many of the techniques I developed over the years. Inspiration for it came mostly from VOTOMS (note the wheels in the heel area) and (...) (20 years ago, 22-May-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX) !

Dude I was just running around your site searching for more Mladen and here we go! This is awesome. I really like the clean elegance of the shapes you've used. The wheel idea is cool, but I don't know if their integrated into the feet as well as (...) (20 years ago, 22-May-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Mladen! Great to see a new mecha from you. Clunky, chunky, and clean are the first three words that pop into my head to describe this one. I love the angles on it. The wheels....not so much, but that's really my only problem with it. It just looks (...) (20 years ago, 22-May-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) Haha! Thanks Geordan! I'm glad you like the mecha. I was initially thinking about doing it "removable armour"-style, with the skeleton underneath, like you did with the (URL) Visage II>, but that proved too difficult. I agree with your comment (...)

(...) Thanks Dave! I like those three words; they describe what I was aiming for perfectly. The wheels do indeed awkward. I guess I should have "experimented" with them a bit more. Thanks again Mr. Johann! (URL) Mladen Pejic> (20 years ago, 22-May-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Most of it has just been structural stuff, but I want everything on this one to (...) (20 years ago, 22-May-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

The short, thick chest section and big shoulder blocks--looks like a Front Mission Wanzer. I was right on (...) (20 years ago, 23-May-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

It's good to see you doing more bipeds. Great guns (and that isn't just an expression). The hip joints are neat. The neck seems like a weak point that my eyes are drawn to, like it needs an armored collar, considering the rest of the body looks so (...) (20 years ago, 24-May-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Sometimes I'm just more concerned with clean design. But good point nonetheless. (...) (20 years ago, 24-May-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Smooth, studless look to it, good, clean looking detail without being too gawdy, excellent cockpit detail looks like a luxury car designer did the interior, and enough weapons to be a formidable one mecha army.
