Great work Chris! That is one awesome mech. The legs are so detailed, very
well crafted, the feet have a very neat design to them too. The rifle is
awesome, twin barreled, it looks like it would pack a punch.

The shoulder pads are cool too, You hid the throwbot joint incredibly
assuming that's what you used,

Nice wrist mounted cannons as well, big thrusters! nice!

Great work, keep em' comin'

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.

(...) Thanks! (...) Yeah, well, that's why it's called the KA-BLAM. :-) (...) <grin> nope, the only ball joints I used in this mech were two; the leg-to-hip joint. I used the ball w/ axleholes there. (...) Tankya much! -Chris (23 years ago, 25-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
