   The increased security has payed off. The first images on the new mecha
   menace now codenamed "Carver" have been received.

Hey all. I would like to showcase my newest and largest mecha ever...Carver.

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=12674

Carver Stats:
26 points of articulation.
15 3/4 inches tall (the largest I ever built)
Utilizes worm gears, click hinges, and ball joints

Armament:
Four Vulcan machine guns (internal)
Two MFGL (Multi Function Gernade Launcher) (internal)
Four heat blades
Two RTC missle clusters (9 missles each)

The name Carver is from the four giant heat blades on each arm. The dishes
on each shoulder are massive iField generators for added protection.
Internal jump jets are located on the calves and shoulder assembly for
manuverablity. Additional ramjet booster pack is added for maximum speed and
jump distance.

Inspiration and thanks to:
Pilot Canidate (main style influence)
Christopher Snead (worm gear idea)

That's a very elegant and graceful looking mecha. It reminds me of a deadly ballerina dancer or something, heh. Good work! I'm interested in the engineering of that mecha. I'd appreciate it if ya' posted any internal shots or shots of the gears and (...) (22 years ago, 4-Mar-02, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, lugnet.loc.us.ks)

(...) pic, I was intrigued by the hint of a worm gear in the thigh area. My favorite parts of this mecha are the head and the feet. I also like the way you made the lower legs, with the Gundam-esque bulge. A fine model indeed! And it looks very (...) (22 years ago, 4-Mar-02, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, lugnet.loc.us.ks)
