Several builders have privately agreed to do Soren's build anyway just for fun.
The "group" for lack of a better term would like to re-open it to .mecha. We are
following the original rules posted in Soren's challenge:
"We’re building this:
http://www.gearsonline.net/fss/mh/mighty/alpha2.jpg
Scale will be twelve inches or less, time limit is nine months, and it must be
recognizable as the same model. Judging to be decided by six people - I pick
three, you pick three. No prize. No changing the rules, either - it’s this or
nothing.
If you want to go scare up more reference pics, look under “Akatsuki Hime” or
“LED Mirage Mighty Alpha”.
AND the slighty more specific:
"Okay, for everyone who feels like going for it as-is, here are the rules,
expanded:
12" to the shoulders. An inch higher, and anything shorter, is fine - don't get
hung up on it.
Make whatever adjustments you like within reason - color, detail, stuff like
that. No altering proportions or really basic shapes.
Try to keep it articulate, but how much is your call."
The only difference is that we are not judging. The mecha builders involved are
interested in seeing how each other interprets the model not who is "better".
The Challenge is open to anyone. Start date is now with and end Sept 1st, 2006.
Yeah a long way off but who cares? We'll still be around.
Soren and I have agreed to make ourselves available via email or this thread if
anyone has questions concerns or whatever.
Updates, WIP pics, and mecha discussion is fully encouraged. Ideally one would
first post to "declare" his intentions to build and then add WIPs and what not
as the project progresses. This would keep the whole thing in at least one
thread (mangled as it may get).
If you are new to mecha do not fear! The goal here is to learn from each other
and become better builders not to beat each other down. We are having FUN
remember?
And yes I am fully aware this "conflicts" with the Chef contest. Just live with
it. Enter one or the other or both. Dangerous as it may be I'm assuming we are
all big boys who can make our own decisions. Mark is supporting this group
build.

| As mentioned in the abysmally long thread, I am also in. 9 months is enough time for this build. I only wish the scale were a tad bit bigger (18 inches), but 12 inches at the shoulder will be a nice scale challenge. -Dave (19 years ago, 22-Dec-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| I would also like to try this. I really like the subject (very cool looking) and I'd like to give it a shot. I've never built anything mecha before, so this will be a nice new challenge. Although I'm already kinda afraid of the rest of y'all ;) C. (19 years ago, 23-Dec-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)
