Dave got in a fight with the internet and they aren’t talking to each other
right now. So I’m posting his entry for him. Here’s the description in his
words:
Iron Mecha Entry - January 2006
“My interpretation of the Iron Mecha competition was a bit different than I had
originally envisioned. First off, I had already decided on Sand Blue as the
main color. Truth be told, this was supposed to be a Sand Blue and White model,
but I just did not like how it was turning out. Bryce McGlone suggested Sand
Green as the companion color (thinking I was using Dark Blue, not Sand Blue) and
the rest fell into place. Relevant info regarding this entry:
1) My first 90+% Sand-colored model
2) Studless by design
3) Certain aspects were purposely exaggerated (knees, torso, arms)
4) Made to look very ‘techie’ until the organic element is exposed
5) Who said that was supposed to be a missle launcher? ;)
6) Fewest number of black parts I’ve ever built with (7-all technic pins). None
are visible.
This model was started in my workshop, but finished in a much smaller build area
with a very limited number of parts available to me. This is why the lower half
looks so much more ‘polished’ than the torso and arms. Also, note that the rear
feet are different from the front...I just couldn’t locate the needed parts.
D’oh!
-Dave”
