My first submission to space and/or mecha in ... actually, I don't know that
I've ever posted a space-ish MOC before. So here goes:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=56638
Standing at just over two-minifigs-tall, the JuggerGnat (note spelling - *not*
juggerNAUT) is a small mech or large suit of power armor, depending on your
perspective. It has 7 degrees of freedom in each leg, and 10 in each arm (plus
two in the head). Clearly, it's heavily influenced by many many many of the
amazing MOCs one can see touring around the mecha newsgroup.
The official unveiling was yesterday during a BubbleGum Crisis themed Brikwars
game. I'll be uploading some actions shots from gameplay shortly ...
Oh, yeah! Credit goes to my wife for helping braid the three LEGO ropes
together into a power cord, connecting the gun to the mech chassis. Little
fingers work wonders ...
Feedback, thoughts, suggestion ... let me know what you think.
thanks,
-s

| Ooohh, pretty *stares and drools* I like: •The excellent adaptation of Gla-Gla's hand design. Gonna use that myself, if you don't mind. •The braided power cable, which incidentally just solved a problem I've been having... •The detail around the (...)

I love the power cord - that's an idea that will have to be stolen. The bulky forearms really add a feeling of (...) (21 years ago, 15-Sep-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| Shaun, as always, your creations inspire. As being one of the lucky few to have seen this up close and personal, I think it captured the theme perfectly. It's so easy to envision your MOC trudging around in some anime or a Robocop film. Now for the (...) (21 years ago, 16-Sep-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)
