Boy, one picture doesn't satisfy you guys, so I guess I'll upload em all. :-)

This is the Zion.  Equipped with full arsenal of laser sword, KA-101 BLAM
rifle, shoulder cannon, and wrist cannons, the Zion is the first mech I've
built this large that I've been satisfied with.  It has 26 points of articulation
and is fairly poseable.

Hehehe

<grin>  yeah, I 'spose so. :-)

Awesome mecha Chris! This is like a leap for you. Wow, it looks terrific.
Everything is just so detailed! I like the guns too. Overall, great job Chris!

Thanks Mladen.  Well, a leap, yeah, but actually this is still the same
scale.  It's a microfig creation too. :-)  Just a helluva lot bigger. :-)


Thanks go out to Dave Thomas, Jr. for the overall color scheme and design,
drawn a lot from his stuff.  Mladen Pejic's curved clip idea is used in the
rifle.  Mark Sandlin, Brian Cooper, and Bryce McGlone all have little bits
and pieces that I'm sure are in there somewhere as well. :-)

Yay! My curved gun clip idea is getting used! I'm famous! ;-)

Of course you are!  The gun just wasn't looking right, no matter what I
could do with it...then lo and behold you posted the Tortoise, and I says
"Aha!".  The curved clip really sets it off.


Please, let's hear what you have to say.

But I did, but I did... ;-)

And I thank you for it. :-)
