Well, my mecha was unleashed upon the unsuspecting troopers of Stephen Roberts
in the first Wamalug Brickwars event on Saturday, and proceeded to slaughter
them mercilessly! :) Anyway, a few pics can be found here:

It still needs a little bit of work (the hips and thighs weren't finished), as
it doesn't stand very well on its own (and the Rocket Pack I made is waaay too
heavy...). Does anyone have any suggestions on tightening up the hip joints?
It is currently using the tight Throwbots Ball and Socket setup, with two
rubberbands going through it to add more fiction.
Also, Before any Wamalug members do so, I'd like to nominate it for
Freaky-Big-Mecha-That-Can-Hardly-Stand-On-Its-Own-Site-Of-The-Week. :)

P.S. I'm thinking af calling it "Kodotai", built by Shinryuu Industries(1).
Any thoughts?
1 - Anyone know what this means exactly? It is a monster in Final Fantasy V,
and somehow I got the impression it means "Dragon Lord"...

| Nice Mecha. It looks a lot like one of the Gundam Mobile Suits from Gundam Wing (especally the sword). I'm just a beginner though;-) Dan P.S. The name should be something scary in Latin like Deus Ex Machina or Hades (I know thats not latin) (...) (25 years ago, 20-Apr-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)
