Hello Jon,
| |
Jon, this is rather an ambitious project, given its size, the triangular leg
configuration (cool method of connecting the torso), and the wicked awesome
tank treads on the feet.
|
I’d sign too for all of the above. One question on the treads: is it possible to
turn the feet so that all the treads are heading in one direction? I could’t
figure that out from the pics.

I like this mix of colors, but I would have liked to see them grouped
tighter/isolated better. I also like the hoses, and the SNOTted-in railing
sections as greebles. I think your work continues to improve.
|
Once again I agree to 100%.

I hope you don’t mind, but I wanted to give you a photo editing tip that I
wish someone had given me long ago (if you look at all the too-dark pics in
my Brickshelf folder you’ll see what I mean). Whatever software you use
(there is a free download called the GIMP, which I use), you select the
“levels” tool, and use the “pick white point” option. Then you click
somewhere on your white background that you want to turn pure white, and the
rest of your image will correct itself to match. This can brighten up a dull
shot, and give it some “pop”. I did it with your first Tribunal pic:

Thanks for this tip, Kyle. I still have photographical problems too. Taking
better pictures seems to be harder than building better mecha.
Thank you for sharing.
Keep building
Marco

| (...) Excellent, my plan is working perfectly....mmuuuahhahha. All silliness aside, Yes Marco, it is possible to rotate the feet. I guess that means I did a good job of concealing that particular joint joint. (...) snip Glad you liked it! -Jon (19 years ago, 30-Nov-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
