Here it is, my latest mecha. It was a influenced some by Heavy Gear,
especially the engine. The engine is a modified three year old design.
I borrowed the elbow design from Chris Maddison's Maelstrom. I carried
that over to the leg to create a double jointed knee. Unsurprisingly to
me, this mecha turned out bigger than what I intended.

| Travis, I checked out the Nosrai, what I like best is the way the head covers the minifig when it closes. The feet are interesting too.

| I would like to thank everyone for their compliments and suggestions. I am in the process of implementing those suggestions with a few changes of my own. Version 2 will be up later this week. Version 1 will remain b/c I still like it. Travis (...) (23 years ago, 5-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| (...) Ah, a highly underused technique, IMO. But then, lots of builders aren't that concerned with extreme articulation-- it's also hard to manage, IRL. But, I see it all the time in Hobby Japan, so I often think about implementing it in Lego-- (...) (23 years ago, 5-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| (...) shoulders were a little chunkier but that is just my mecha style coming through. (example 2 1x2 inverse slopes and 2 2x2 double inverse slopes with that 2x2 plate on top) But this thing is really cool. I'd love to see it built out of bricks. (...)

| Not bad, not bad. I like the hatches. The head piece especially. Everything looks like it would seal up nicely too. legs and feet are pretty darn cool as well. What I think needs work, is the shoulders. A little too square for my tastes. You know? (...) (23 years ago, 6-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| Hey neat, I like this one, loks like it has good poseability and is really nicely detailed. I love the backpack as well. The sword using katana's is a nice touch as well. :^) May I suggest not using so many upside down plates and such? It seems to (...) (23 years ago, 6-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
