Wow.  Another great mech, as always!

Thanks a bunch!


The widening contours of the legs really adds to the name of the
mecha...that and shoulders combine to form a really hefty and stable looking
mecha.  Great accessories too!

Yeah, I tried to go for the bulky, VOTOMS-ish look.

I'll have to go with your choice of the
bazooka as the best, although the booster pack and those little
vortex-looking things are also cool.

Heh, I put more time into the bazooka and zero-g pack.

As for the "vortex-looking" things, they are shaped charge rifle grenades. They
are launched by a bullet (although real-lie ones are usually launched by
blanks), and fly through the air using small fins for stabilization. Once they
hit the target, a jet of molten metal punctures the enemy armour.

For more information fo the whole "shaped charge" theory, go here:

For a pic of a rifle grenade, look here (IDF paratroopers):

Man, I better stop looking at your
creations or I'll never work up enough creativity or confidence to build
myself a mech ;)

LOL, well I dunno about that. ;-)

First off, I built a new mecha. Basically, I just wanted to add as much
weaponry on it as I could. The bazooka is my personal favourite. ;-)

It also comes with a zero-g pack, radome, and smoke discharger system.
Naturally, I was inspired heavily by real world military weapons and anime
(mostly Gundam and VOTOMS).

As well, I finished the LDraw files for both the Landing Barge and APC-02.

Enjoy!
