    BLACK BEAR —Eric Sophie

Rotational click hinges - 20 inches tall Began construction Christmas Eve completed the day after Christmas 2005 I am currently designing a Mech Bay, which will be built for the robot. (...)

        Re: BLACK BEAR —Soren Roberts
     Well, since it's just a reproduction, I'll take the opportunity to bring some fresh observations on the design to the table. Frankly, I feel no love here. The black soaks up all the detail, and from what I can see the proportions are pretty far off (...) (19 years ago, 27-Dec-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

         Re: BLACK BEAR —Aaron M. Sneary
     (...) I have to re-iterate Soren's comments. This looks like every other Sophie Mecha, except there's less color going on than usual. You've never been into multiple color schemes really, sticking to good ole color & Neutral. But in all black, most (...) (18 years ago, 30-Dec-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

        Re: BLACK BEAR —Mark Neumann
     I see the commonalities with the Cub, Cub into Bear? Pretty tricky you. I also see the evolution from Little bot to Cub to Bear. you're covering stuff more, but the overall shape is still a bit blocky. I think I'd skip on doing every color of (...)

        Re: BLACK BEAR —Marco Tagliaferri
     Hello Eric, to be honest, I liked The Cub more. The black makes a lot of detail just vanish in the dark. The hands seem to be much to fragile compared to the rest of the mecha, which looks quite heavy. Still it's a geat MOC, hope you're lucky in (...)

         Re: BLACK BEAR —Eric Sophie
     (...) Thank you. Though I am happy with the photos. This is a model best appreciated in person. When a Lego Fan views a model using black, this ought to be a given. (...) Your very right. Though we give ourselves artistic license when we build. That (...) (18 years ago, 29-Dec-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)
   
        Re: BLACK BEAR —danny staple
    Okay, For fear of repeating that which was said before, I did prefer The Cub. However, I think some subtle contrasting colours might have brought out the detail more (not quite with Soren on the blacktron Black and Yellow look). Maybe some (...)

        Re: BLACK BEAR —danny staple
     (...) A subtlety lost on many I suppose. I think even then, the transition from The Cub to Black Bear might merit a bit of beefing up - or even the emergence of some weapons, although I understand you dont normally do weapons.. (...)

        Re: BLACK BEAR —David Simmons
   (...) I remember that movie! It creeped me out as a kid and I'm bummed it hasn't shown up on DVD yet. It'll probably look cheesy as heck, but would be fun to see again. The only thing I can still remember clearly is that at some point they fish a (...) (18 years ago, 31-Dec-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)
