I recently created a Brickshelf account and uploaded pics of my latest
creation, Fuji Power Armor.
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?m=lorbaat
My goal when building the armor was to create a mech along the lines of the
Scopedog and those in Heavy Gear-- small, bulky armor that looks more like
something a real military would build and put into combat than something like
the Gundam Wing armors, more a walking tank than a work of art.
I named it the Fuji armor because in the course of building it, I realised that
it had roughly the same proportions as Fuji, a character in the comic book
Stormwatch (especially in his early containment suit).
I had to make some sacrifices in the name of keeing it small- a minifig can't
really sit inside, although there is a cavity in the torso, and some
articulation was lost- but in the end, the model still sports 15 points of
articulation, more than most action figures the same size.
Have a look, and let me know what you think.

| (...) I am not much of a mecha fan, but your model is pretty cool. I think it captures the look of a working, serious mech. I look forward to seeing more of your MOC's on Brickshelf! (23 years ago, 7-Jan-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| (...) Nice job from an engineering perspective but in regards to your "walking tank than a work of art" comment, I think it's way too flat. Some rounded edges would probably be added to an actual mecha to increase deflection of arms fire. Just my (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jan-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
