Hello all,
I’d been meaning to rebuild the Ursine cub for quite a while, but I had been
too busy. Well, last week the building bug hit with a vengence. So powerful
was the urge that I was up until 2:30 am on a worknight (I get up at 5:30 am
for work Btw). Nuff said there, now to the mecha happiness that is the Ursine
cub 2

Wow, I’ve lost sleep to Lego, but never that much sleep.

The body really didn’t get too many changes to it. A few pieces added and a
different color scheme.
The arms and legs were completely redesigned as well as the shield.
Also, a hand-held autocannon was added in the improved left hand.

The limb redesign really gives it a beefier shape and profile. Looks like the
“new” hinge joints really help with that. I love the sand blue accented with
dark blue, I’ve never tried that combo before. Also very cool how you got the
claw hand to grasp the rifle.
My one suggestion would be to armor the cockpit area a little more. I know
other builders have used curved wedge pieces with that canopy, but I can’t
remember the specific examples. Maybe somebody else here can remember and post
a link...
