| Inspired by the recent robo-quad opus, and particularly (URL) this comment> on it, I am building a feline mecha of my own. Also inspired by the robo-quad, I will post the progress of the model in stages Stage 1 - Head - COMPLETED! I generally build (...)

The (back) legs don't strike me as being particularly feline in look or proportion, though... the feet have potential, but at the moment they give me the impression of a man wearing 'monster slippers'.

If there's one thing I've learned about building cat mecha, is that they don't necessarily have to resemble an actual cat.Sometimes a more subtle suggestion of catness (...)

Maybe some big eyelashes? Or some red blush on the cheeks? (...) (...) (17 years ago, 12-Jul-07, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| (...) Ah. Okay. I was going to suggest that having a look at a real cat might be helpful to get the look right, but if that's not what you're aiming for, then you are probably on the right track.

Your moc doesn't look very feline though. It kinda looks (...) (17 years ago, 13-Jul-07, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
