Hi folks,
it's 7 years now that BrickCommander (formerly aka LEGO MechCommander) is up and
running, and as you probably know I always strive to mastermind something
special for my website's anniversaries. Coming up with an idea for this year's
special feature was an easy task, actually a no-brainer: the tripod,
colossal-class ARES of course! The meanest, most lethal 'Mech in the MechWarrior
universe. At 135 tons, the Ares is the first BattleMech of this class and the
product of the top-secret "Rhodes Project"*.
For everybody not familiar with the BattleTech/MechWarrior-universe or what I
generally do: my LEGO model is based on an actual click-base tabletop gaming
figure, which is less than 10 cm in height. Needless to say, the minifig-scale
LEGO version is considerably larger! 45 cm tall it more than covers a large
48x48 base plate - pretty impressive for a 'Mech, wouldn't you agree? Anyway,
building the Ares took me 40 hours and 4.500 CAD Lego-pieces. So, what did you
do over the easter holidays? ;)
