My first post here so I'd better introduce myself...
My name is Matthew but almost everyone knows me as 'mo'. I live in the UK.
I'm new to the AFOL scene; I played with lego (Space - then Technic) loads
as a kid but stopped as adolesence brought other diversions ;). Recently was
pointed in the direction of Sun Yun's website FoundryDX and impressed and
inspired enough to start playing again! Anyway, to business - the first
result:
Brickshelf folder:
<-- http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=154373 -->
The colour scheme is a little offensive, what with grey ~and~ bley, but my
brick selection is limited (growing though!). Lots of ball joints, brick
hinges for knees and click hinges for elbows. What d'you think? Any
recommendations? Thanks!

| (...) Wow, for a first mecha this is excellent! I think you go the basics of mecha building down pretty solid, the next thing you should work on is giving them a certain "feel" or personality. For example, I don't know whether this is a whacky (...) (19 years ago, 20-Nov-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| Nifty. I can tell it's pretty playable - always good, and I like the range of motion in the legs. You don't mind my asking, what are your influences? Soren (19 years ago, 20-Nov-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| (...) No recommendations. It looks like you're doing just fine. I just wanted to welcome you to the .mecha forum. I'm not around much but I do keep track of who's building what.

| (...) I am always glad to see a new Mecha build member. Welcome! I would like to see some more MOCS to see what you are going for before I make any coments. Regardless, I do like the poseability and the color scheme. Regards, David Rabadan (19 years ago, 21-Nov-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| I just had to log in and post since NOT posting would have been a crime. :) Excellent first model, Mo! I see LOTS of mobility there, and quite a few modern and not so modern influences in the design. I'll agree that the colorscheme is a bit iffy, (...) (19 years ago, 22-Nov-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| Hi Mo, Nice mecha. The bubble head thing is very retro sci-fi, yet the body style is quite modern mecha. Its an odd mix. It puts me in mind of robbie spliced with an angular anime mecha body. I really like the body style, very posable, and well (...) (19 years ago, 22-Nov-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)
