Well it's about time I got this up, It's the PMC Kannon version 21,
seriously! this thing has been completely modified 21 times over! I'm very
happy with the way this guy turned out though, it's safe to say that this is
my best mech ever, definitely. I spent tons of time on everything rather
than just rushing it all, three and half weeks is total production time.
Now about the mech itself, I took a few pics of just the legs, because I
think that they rule, the torso and the arms kind of ruined it a bit, but oh
well, I think I did my best with what I have. I don't like the arms at all,
I worked soooo hard on them but they just didn't turn out, I would love to
hand off the legs to a pro and see what they could do as far as bulding the
rest.
This time round I tried a few new techniques, SNOT being the most prominent,
I used it anywhere I could. The light grey half technic pegs with the stud
on the end are now definitely my fav. piece, can't live with out them,
you'll see this even more on my other stuff still to be picturized.
I did indeed butcher a throwbot piece(oh the shame!) I still have yet to get
Pohatu, as soon as I do that the butchered piece will be abolished.
This mech was designed for atmospheric battle mostly rather than space,
that's why there's twin turbines in the chest. The saw gun never did work
out, oh well, but the rifle is pretty neat IMO, I wanted to use the chain
links somehow, this seemed like the most logical and original way to do so.
The ends of the feet open up to be steering vanes, similar in purpose to
those on anikan's pod racer. No, the joint connecting the torso to the legs
doesn't really work. it just looks really cool! Most of the machine guns
that form the mohawk on top wouldn't ork IRL, since they would end up
blasting off the head, there just there for looks.
The dingy looked like it would make a neat fuel tank so I did just that,
credits to Mladen's Azriel for the exterior fuel tanks. More credits,
Mladen's Azriel for spurring me to make a largish bi-pedal and for the open
frame legs, very cool idea. Mark Sandlin's Helldog ][ and Hardy gun were
also a source of inspiration.
The blue skinny thing in the back is a mech under heavy construction right
now, no idea when it will be finished.
I am hoping to do a MK II on this, but I need to hear some helpful ideas and
tips from people for it to be a reality. This is the first of about ten new
creations coming
I really don't know if this belongs in .announce, I dunno,
Please please please let me know what you think, and pass on some helpful
information on what could be better for version 22.

change that for me,
Thanks

| Geordan, Gee, man, I dunno what you're so anxious about-- it looks swell to me! Seriously, as Eric pointed out, this is one serious mech. You've obviously taken great care in colour composition and overall balance of form-- this is really an (...) (23 years ago, 10-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
