Hello everone...
Here is my new mecha - Aldebaran:

I got the idea when I started toying around with a SBD click hinge based
armature:

Hey Chris!
So glad to see new stuff from you. I love how you go for quality over
quantity. Every once in a while you show off a mecha that raises the bar in
terms of posability and general “coolness”.
|
Coming from you, the O.G. bar-raiser, that means a lot :)
| |
What first caught my eye is how stylish this mecha is! From your posts and
discussions concerning mecha, you come off as very technical and a “function
follows form” kind of guy, yet your stuff keeps getting prettier to look at
each time. ;-)
|
Thanks! Lego keeps making it easier for me. I don’t have to spend 90% of the
mecha building time inventing custom joints or ways to stiffen pre-existing
systems. I think that deep down, they love mecha; but if they ever really tried
to make something more sophisticated than LOM, Bandai would slam them. So they
just keep giving us better joints...
| |
The lavish waist and shin coverings, ornate head, and overall increased
detailing all make me smile. You’ve really come a long way Chris, and I mean
that as a big compliment.
|
Coming from you, that means a lot. Ever since I discovered Lugnet, I’ve been
drooling over your mecha :-Q
| |
Now if only you gave your mecha “toys” (and by toys I mean huge freakin’
gunz) to play with, all would be right in this world. :-D
|
Dang, you know it! I guess I just have no experience making guns. It would
take me a week just to build one... I need lessons from the weapons master! ;-)
| |
Good luck with any future endeavours,
Mladen Pejic
BTW what is that trans-blue piece you used for the “eye”?
|
Heh heh, it’s a part from a Click-its set :-O Yup... Dave will buy any set for
the parts ;-)
