Hi,

This is my first go at a mech of any size. I've done a couple of small ones
to 'get the feel' and have been learning a lot from the masters in .mecha.

This mech is designed as a general purpose machine useful in any situation
from construction to logging, to cargo handling to military activities. It
isn't shown with any waepons here, but there is a mounting point on the top
for attaching a variety of hardware.

Please excuse the poor photos, but I was over keen to get some photos up and
my el cheapo camera is the quickest option. I'll get the SLR onto it this
weekend and some clearer pics will be posted in the not too distant future.

Anyway, please let me know what you think. I'm particulary happy with the
hands (actually, I built them months ago and this seemed the perfect place
to install them). It's capable of some fairly natural poses, although I wish
the joints were a bit stiffer.

Cheers,
Allister

yes!!! this mech is awesome!! nice job for your "first" mech. those huge hands are my favorite part. it gives the mech the proverbial "superdeformed" anime look. nice arm articulation as well. ahh, if it only had weapons ;]... (...) (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)
  Re: MOC: Articualted Power Exosuit.
 
That's a blast! The scaling of it is great...big hands, big feet (which totally rock BTW), big head. A lot of mecha seem to be tall and lithe...this guy bucks the trend and does it well! Very cool. The natural poses are hilarious....the shrug just (...) (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) mecha building, but I know it isn't easy to do that. The honkin' feet give it a solid look, and the oversized hands seem to fit it really well too. -- Tony Hafner www.hafhead.com (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Hey, Cool MOC! The proportions make it look sort of mecha-gorilla-ish to me, which makes it menacing. I love the hands and the articulation. The humorous poses made me grin. Bruce (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)
  Re: MOC: Articualted Power Exosuit.
 
Allister, I haven't built any mecha YET (and, boy, I want to!!!), but I know it's not that easy to build them able both to move like that and to express personality so easily. Plus, it's just darned cool-looking! This really looks like it could (...) (22 years ago, 8-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)
  Re: MOC: Articualted Power Exosuit.
 
Oh man! I like this Exosuit very much! Positives: The Front canopy is used in a very cool way. I love the arms becaause they look beefy and match the way the feet are made to a degree. The feet are so cool. Those large black slope parts are very (...) (22 years ago, 9-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)
  Re: MOC: Articualted Power Exosuit.
 
Thsi reminds me very much of the suit used in the old DBZ show or was it the movie? Oh I think it was the Red Ribbon Army mech. It had skinny limbs, huge hands, and a fat belly. First off, the hands make this mecha. They draw my eye on every pic. (...) (22 years ago, 10-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)
  Re: MOC: Articualted Power Exosuit.
 
Jeesh, got to catch up... Not much I can add to this, but here's my two bricks worth anyway: Imagine this in yellow, be an awesome worker mech. Especially looking like a gorilla, it'd be great. If I were to do the construction method on this guy, (...) (22 years ago, 11-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) when I like something I like it. Any critique I would give you would be of what I would have done but it's your mech and represents what you built. So I like it... it reminds of the exo-suits in Exo-squad which was a great cartoon have you (...) (22 years ago, 11-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)
