Hello Lukas,

I have a few comments on your mecha.

1.It looks very solid. This is a good thing! I use my mecha as Miniatures for Battletech, therefore, solid= Playable.

here is my gallery if you’d like to take a look:

2. You show good technique with staggering your the joints of your bricks.

Criticisms:

1. The body is very blocky, try tapering it from the top down. I would suggest making ths hips 2 studs narrower than they are. If you were going for that particular look, than you may want to beef the legs up a bit. they look like they might have trouble physically supporting the body as they are.

2. I would also suggest making the color scheme match from the left side of the body to the right. I’m not saying that my color schemes are perfect (a few people usually don’t like them), but if you find a color somewhere on a leg or arm of one of my mechs, usually the other limb matches.


You didn’t mention whether this was your first attempt at mecha ,but if it is, It’s a good effort especially for a quick build!

I look forward to seeing what you build next.

-Jon
