| | | 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 (...)

| | | | | | (...) 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. (...) Ah. Right. Yes, I guess if something has (...) (17 years ago, 13-Jul-07, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

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

| | | | | | (...) I've always thought it was: Mech = big robot with a human pilot, no gun. Mecha = big robot with a human pilot, big gun. I don't really grok mechs/mechas that much though, so I am probably wide of the mark there. Cheers Richie Dulin (17 years ago, 13-Jul-07, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

There was another guy that made something similar with action figure inspired commandos. Your moc doesn't look very feline though. It kinda looks (...)

I urge you to soldier on, and seek inspiration where you find it, to stiffen that hinge. Perhaps you should seek a state (...) (17 years ago, 13-Jul-07, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
