Hey this looks swell Chris!

reminds me alot of a VOTOMS mecha, nice, the missile pack on the arm is
really well designed, as is the hand gun.

I really like the feet too! Very nice shape, and the ankle covers are sweet too.

It seems a little studdy, but that might just be a personal preferece.

anyway, great mecha! keep it up

Hi all,

After being totally inspired by GlaGla's awesome Ingram from Patlabor, I sat
down yesterday and most of last night building, set out to create a model
with minifig arms for fingers.  This is the fruit of my labors:

I feel this is the best model I've created so far.  I've learned a lot from
seeing the masters of the craft create awesome bots (guys like K, Bryce,
Eric, Mladen, GlaGla, Chris Snead, and others), and I'm slowly but surely
getting better.  This isn't a departure from microfig, however.  This
behemoth would stand about as tall as a Gundam, I'd say.  The first picture
convey's what a minifig would see if the Rainmaker were lumbering towards him.

Equipped with a handgun, forearm mounted rocket launcher, and retractable
blade, this beast is a force to be reckoned with.  The dish on the left arm
is a shield generator, and on the back is an antenna sensor and the fuel pod.

LMKWYT!
-Chris

(...) Thanks Geordan. (...) The handgun was a bit tricky, but I think the facade handle works nicely (while it's in the hand, of course) (...) That's something I'm still having problems with - allowing for ankle movement while keeping them covered. (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
