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.  It has 26 points of articulation
and is fairly poseable.

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. :-)

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

Nice mech!  Is there a background story to go along with it as well?  For
example why is it called The Zion?

Thanks!  Nah.  I don't much get into making stories around the mechs.
That's what castle is for (right castleheads?!) :-)  I just enjoy building
them.  It's called the Zion because...well, because that's the name I came
up with when I was making the Brickshelf folder. :-)
