 | | New Mecha: Talon —Jon Walden
|
| | | Greetings all! Just finished my latest Battlemech. I don't usually build them so close together, but the creative urge hit me again. I had to run with it, and yes, I freely admit I am obsessed with triangles at the moment! As per usual, the stats (...)

| | | | | Coolness, there havn't been many published Mechs using these new colors. Check out how the cockpit opens! Nice parts on the shoulders, trick feet. I see you have an ankle splay? Cool canopy there too. Interesting design, go triangles! Fast build? e (19 years ago, 8-Dec-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| | | | | | (...) Thanks, Marco I'm glad you liked the ladder system. I had seen something akin to it done on one of Brian cooper's mecha, and thought it would be a nice detail. I'm steadily putting more detail into my work. Talon isn't a very large mecha, only (...) (19 years ago, 9-Dec-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Aside from that, I'm not sure I'll be making any 3 foot Mecha for a while at least. For now, it is still a challange to build on a medium (...) (19 years ago, 10-Dec-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| | | | | Nice. The Bley/Grey look works well on a mech. It gives it that metallic utilitarian look. This mech says it means business - and is design for close range destruction (with the large heavy weight arms - good for smashing), while having serious (...)

As I said to Eric, I was really trying to fuse two mecha styles in to one when I made this one. I was originally going for a more reptilian (...) (19 years ago, 10-Dec-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| | | | | | Ooh - snakes head? that would be an interesting mecha, maybe you could still pursue building one with that goal in mind. Maybe taking on board some of Bryce's techniques with the Rack might get the right look for a snake... I know exactly how (...) (19 years ago, 10-Dec-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| | | | | (...) You're so kind to your mech pilots, giving them a way to climb in and out of the cockpit! A well-armed mech, maxing out the medium weight class tonnage, this looks like one I'd pick to play in a video game (when do we get a MW5? It's been (...)
