For this one I was trying to evoke an industrial sort of feel. I agree, the
arms are weird looking, but it's part of the design. It doesn't carry any
armor, and I tried a little too hard to show that. I'll consider adding more
tan, but most of it is tied up in other models.

Thanks. The "tubes" are actually sub-arms. They wouldn't really be neccesary on
a mecha of this size, but I stuck 'em on as a homage to Appleseed. It IS a
Landmate, after all. The toes... The toes still bug me. I'll probably fix that
someday.
And the pilot is just a frickin' psycho...

Thanks. The current pics are kinda old, I'm trying to solve a lot of the
problems you mention here. My main obstacle right now is the Sand Green parts.
Too few shapes!

Thank you! I'm very happy with it as well. The blue... I don't know myself. I
like it though.

It's done, so I'll get more up soon. Mladen will have my head for this one...

Thank you! It took a little research to get the name (Good thing I had a
German/English dictionary!). You're right, I should swap joints. New pics when
I do.

No need to worry about that! I'm a sick, sick fanboy. I love the whole concept
of Landmates and similar mecha. I'll probably build one right before I die.
Take care,

| Soren I took my time to really look at all the creation you posted and I have made several observations. You have studied the works of Colin I see. Nice. Ok...
