As promised, I am announcing more new stuff from the Braintrust. This one’s built with the intent to sell it to the Eastern Block. It’s a battle support mech, with a capacity of 48 missiles, and two gatling guns.

CBT-EB

I didn’t have enough 1x1 round parts to fill the thing with missiles, so uh, all the photos are taken after it has test fired its missiles. I have also found about the max weight that the small technic ball joints can hold. The shape of this one is inspired in part by the harvesting machines from the Matrix.

PLMKWYT!

Thanks,


-Dan Rubin

Chair of the Cyber-braintrust

(...) Great use of curved bricks, and it's an innovative design. I think it needs a bit more (dark & light) grey on the outside, but only because most EB designs seem have more exterior grey than this. But I guess it's up to you! Cheers, (URL) (...) (20 years ago, 24-May-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) This looks great...so chunky and menacing, yet not over complicated...keeps the spartan look of the EB. Marvy build. Cheers, -G (20 years ago, 26-May-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

this is the coolest thing out of EB i have seen yet. I can so visuallize this thing plodding along in a swarm of soldiers, almost remenescent of Starship Trooper's artillary bugs surrounded by arachnids. well done comrade! Rick (20 years ago, 28-May-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
