You’re too sly Eric... you know how to build Gundam after all! Stop fooling
us! Show us what you got up that sleeve of yours.
|
Awww, swizzle sticks, I was just thinking about you!
Hahahaha, to tell the truth, I always wanted a distinctive Anime looking Mecha
in my Biomechanical Ranks. This did it for me.
| |
;-p
I gotta say Eric, this is one of your best mecha yet.
|
Thanks, I feel much the same way. I am very happy with it and proudly so.
| |
Hmmm... Maybe I’m just liking it so much ‘cause of the drab, “military”, dark
grey and the whole Gundam look.
|
I really had to dig around to find certain parts for it. Taking apart Mech Bay
07 was a good thing. I needed the bricks.
| |
That said, I can totally see your own little motifs dispersed in select
areas. Heh, the skinny, sucked-in torso/belly is classic Sophie... All your
bots must have a penchant for gymnastics and such. ;-)
|
You know how many of the Japanese builders add a protruding chest, reminisent of
combiner mecha, well I could never get myself to do that, so I guess the abdomen
comes out the same, sleek and lean.
| |
What stands out the most for me, are the feet, shoulders, head, and fingers.
Those are all nicely done. BTW, does the torso have a cockpit for a minifig
or minifigs?
|
Yes. It has a pilot. Plus in the back, I kept trying to build a jet pack or coms
pack and it never looked right, so like a skilled surgen I added a Brain Case
put some greebs, closed up and exited. I’ll get some pics up soon.
The feet, hands and head were all triumphs for me. The shoulders were a fun
excersize. I don’t build them like that to often. It was fun.
| |
I know this is wishful thinking on my part... But will we ever see this
badboy decked out with shoulder-mounted 120mm autocannons, missile canister
pods, radomes, mortars, machineguns, and maybe a pulse laser rifle? I know
you’re a pacifist Eric... BUT come on... It’s just begging for it!
|
Believe me I almost did. Infact I almost sent Soren an email asking him to name
it for me. I was a little stuck.
| |
OR
Lend it to Soren for a week of something, I bet he has tons of mecha weapons
lying about, just itching to be put on something this big.
|
Like rocket hammers....kkssssshhhhhhhh--khhhrrruuuhhhh!
| |
:-D
Anyways, keep up the awesome work Eric. It definitely inspires me to build
again (and I will... soon).
|
Now that’s what I’d like to hear! (see) Later, I have to go and teach Lego
Class.
