Welcome to .mecha Matthew.

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:

Quite impressive for a first one. I like the poseability. It seems to me you had
real fun doing those poses for the pics.
| |
The colour scheme is a little offensive, what with grey ~and~ bley, but my
brick selection is limited (growing though!).
|
I’m not bothered by the color scheme. The colores fit together quite well.
The proportions are a bit off to me. You have those cluncky feet which look
really good (you used a black rounded 2x3 on the right and a inverted slope on
the left - brick availability?). But those feet are to massive compared to the
rest of your mech. Especially the arms look long and weak. You could try to
cover the click hinge at the elbow a bit more and give the arms more volume.
Slopes instead of the tiles might be helpful.
| |
Lots of ball joints, brick hinges for knees and click hinges for elbows.
|
Don’t foreget about the supporting bricks. I recomend the Designer Sets for
Dinosaurs and Robots (small and big).
| |
What d’you think? Any
recommendations? Thanks!

With Mecha you chose a building theme which is quite challenging. It can be
disapointing sometimes, especially in the begining. If it is give it another
try.
Keep building
Marco
