Praise from the “Master of Mecha”? Awesome!

I can definitely see years worth of LEGO spaceship and mecha design theory in
this masterpiece.

You’re not kidding when you say “years worth”. I still remember the “Galaxy
Explorer” (497) I got in 1979 as my best Christmas present ever.

The ship is just plain awesome. Although it is a *bit* unrefined, I see great
potential for future designs based on it. The armaments are ingenious; the
little 5-halfpeg-missile boxes really knocked me out. I was like, “it’s so
simple, yet perfect, almost anime-like.” Heh, good work. :-)

I’m planning a re-design (someday) with some improvements. It needs to be a
little taller inside so it can carry some true assault-class mechs, but then it
should really be longer to maintain the proportions. It also needs a more
consistent color scheme, and of course better greeblies and bigger weapons.

The mecha are fantastic as well. Again, some of them are a bit unrefined, but
the three largest ones show real style. Again, great work.
I seriously hope to see more MOCs from you. Your building styl reminds me of
some of the Japanese builders, it’s very austere yet somehow captures the
anime feel quite well.
|
I already promised some shots of the mechs individually, and I’ve got other
un-photographed MOCs waiting in the wings, so I hope to post regularly for a
while.

Oh, and welcome to LUGNET!

Thanks!
