   Hi all,

Been a while since I last posted, since my last (not quite finished) post I got distracted and built this...

It is heavily inspired by the works of Soren and Mladen and obviously Shirow Masamune, whose work I love. Took about 6 hours to build, over 2 days. The pilot has minimal armour protection, but the DB 115 features advanced counter-measures as well as an impressive array of firepower. This comes in the form of satellite guided missiles, plasma field disrupter, EMP array and short- range pulse cannons. The DB 115 also features interchangeable front “arms” that can be tuned to suit numerous mission types.

Thanks for viewing, all critiques and opinions much appreciated!

This is a slick build, especially for only six hours! (I think I may have already spent six hours just on the feet of my current mech project.) It definitely reminds me of the work of the builders you mention. I like how you contoured the front section with the different slopes and wedges.

Note to Marco: Masamune Shirow is a Japanese manga artist who has designed some excellent mecha. Just off the top of my head, I know that Mladen, Soren, David Rabadan, Mark Neumann and I are all Shirow fans (as well as probably a bunch more builders in .mecha that I didn’t know about or forgot).
