This is really a first for me. For years now, I’ve always made my bipedal mecha either flimsy thus requiring numerous stoppers (which are eyesores design-wise) to hold up or so rigid that their one pose looked awkward. BUT no more! I finally got those ball joints to work. Sure it took some time for me to get right, but I finally freakin’ did it! Haha!

Excellent poseablilty there Mladen. It makes photgrahping mecha all that much more fun when you can wrangle them into all sorts of cool or kooky poses.

It sure does. ;-)

  
I agree to a degree with Soren about the pot belly though. It’s not exactly fear inspiring, although that could be useful on the battle field - cut ‘em down while they’re parlysed with laughter ;) No big thing, but I think the proportions could be helped a bit by making the head slightly larger.

Aha! That’s it, the head. Yeah, I guess you and Soren are right after all. :-D

  
But hey, it’s your mecha, and it’s cool anyway. The hands are especially neat. Who was it calling for new hand ideas recently? Here ya go. And the weapons - far out. I just don’t have my head full enough of military tech to ever hope to come up with weapons as cool as you are consistently capable of. Well done as usual.

Thanks Allister! I play a lot of WWII games and own several books about military equipment, so I guess creating weapons is easier for people like me. A site worth checking out if you want to get a quick grasp on military smallarms from WWI to the present is “Modern Firearms & Ammunition”. For vehicles and larger calibre weaponry, you can try checking out “Army Technology” and “FAS”. Hope this helps

  
Cheers,
