Hi all,
I feel kind of cheeky, posting to the thread without a word on the mecha itself.
It has an awesome look about it - and I realy have a thing for tripods
- this one really does live up to the image. Its interesting having
real stats as well for it. I am a little unsure about the colour
scheme - it works, but I would also love to see this in military greys
as well.
The biggest acheivement is the almost radial symmetry you have on the
build - that is fairly awkward to do. If you dont mind me asking, how
fragile has it turned out to be- around that center join- the image E
pulled out? I definately like the intimidating stance it acheives with
its weapons out. Are the weapon pods detachable (for losses during
play) then? I love the idea of mecha wargaming with Lego - I once
worked with a mech based RPG system for a computer game - difficult
stuff.
Btw - interesting uplighting there E. I am intrigued.
