I’m Aaron, and I primarily build within the category of space. I really don’t
want to pollute this post too much, so if you want a more thorough bio, just
send me an email (remove the “nospamplease” from the name).
I plan on joining IndyLug when I return back to school in a couple of weeks, but
am up to this point completely uninitiated in the realm of serious LEGO
community. So be patient with me.
I’m debuting with a couple of entries for the bot contest. The first is the
accurately but unimaginatively named “Mantis,” because, well, look for yourself:

It’s not really practical - I started its frame as an abstract study, and
developed it into a bot from there. It has a certain charm, though.
I’ve also accidentally created a subtheme (or maybe just a snippet of a personal
universe) through the following two bots, representative of the army of the
Imperium Galacticus. They’re pretty straightforward, a centurionbot (crowned
with a Roman-esqe crest) and a standard bearer (wearing an animal hide, like the
corresponding Roman soldiers would).

The standard is actually based on the one from the cover of Jethro Tull’s
Warchild album and may or may not bear any remote similarity to a Roman
standard.
So bungle on over to the jungle of my brickshelf gallery and please leave your
comments, criticisms, and the inevitable exposition that I don’t really know too
much about the Roman empire much less about faking passable Latin.

| (...) Not really familiar with Jethro Tull (I tryed to listen to one or two albums), but I saw these bots on BrickShelf, and found the "Roman style" by myself! I like the way you did the "sign", nice use of the white minifig decorative part. I also (...) (20 years ago, 10-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| They're both terrific, especially the mantis! I love insectoid type MOC's. My only request would be to just cut the image size by about half. I'm at 1280 x 1024 and they're almost twice as big as my screen. Can't wait to see more! DinosaurDave (...) (20 years ago, 10-Aug-04, to lugnet.space)
