Nicely put, Kirby! The only way to learn to build mecha is to actually sit
down and do it. My starting point was to emulate Colin Gutierrez' building
style and to branch out from there. Mark Sandlin is also a great place to
start from due to the amount of detail his models show off. Another friend
of mine began by emulating Mladen Pejic's style and to make it his own
(quite successfully, I might add).
Many mecha builders have difficulty putting their thoughts into brick-I am
one of them and I personally know of three others, but we keep at it. We
keep building, hoping that one of the models will have a breakthrough
technique or look that we like. Many of my models end up as either mecha
torsos or lower body prototypes that might find some use later down the
line. Next week I'll introduce one of those very items in the form of a
completed mecha-my first in more than two months.
Keep at it, keep building-the final product will eventually be worth it.
-Dave
