Thanks to being burned out with my sculptures after finishing Geoffrey, I
decided I needed a change of pace.  With all these origami mecha bouncing
around, I decided I'd give it a try.  I needed a different color though, as
most of the other normal colors had been used, so I decided to see what sort
of a mech I could build using almost exclusively orange bricks.  The Kierbis
is the result.  It's entirely orange, except for the hinges.  Take a look.

Enjoy!

This is certainly a nice design, a uniqoe design, and certainly a good
design for a small mecha but the orange, especially if you added some white
pieces, screams 'Go Vols."  I live in Tennessee, need I say more, Adrian?  I
believe that the Volunteers are a very overstated team but then again, this
is mecha, not a discussion site for college football.  The truth is, I like
your mecha, I just wish that you would make a red mecha but the harnesses
may not be in the color red so hence you are stuck with the orange pieces.

I think you're reading a little too much into the color :)  After all, I'm
from Ohio, so I'm a Buckeyes fan (when I do much of anything with college
sports).  However, both the Browns and Bengals use orange in their uniforms,
and I am a fan of NFL football, so maybe that was clouding my brain :)

As for the harnesses, they do come in red, but building the Kierbis in
another color would be difficult due to the cylindrical brick that makes up
his nose and that is on his side.  I only have that brick in orange and white.
