This is my first post, so i’ll give a little backstory:
After a long hiatus (about 15 years, i stopped playing with toys around 12), I
bought the rebel snowspeeder set last winter, and i’ve been addicted ever since.
I then began collecting all the star wars sets that i thought were cool. In my
frenzy, i came across the fbtb site, and finally lugnet. I was amazed by the
contructions, which were far my intricate and detailed than anything i had done
as a kid, and it inspired me to do my own moc (which has since been torn apart).
I must compliment whoever pinoeered the SNOT technique, bravo. It baffled me for
the longest time. It was both inspiring and intimidating but i finally mustered
the courage to try my hand at mechs, especially after seeing Soren’s work (i’m
sure you’ll notice feeble similarities to his stuff, i studied his mechs the
most). So,since october 04, i’ve been amassing various lego sets and
constructing a small army of mechs and support vehicles and troops.
Unfortunately, i decided to revisit this hobby on the cusp of the color changes,
so you’ll notice mixing of bleys and greys; it couldn’t be helped. Whenever
possible, i used them with a certain amount of symmetry. Anyway, the mocs below
are pretty much everything i’ve done since taking up the hobby again, with the
exception of a couple mocs which were recycled for these things. I’ll post them
in the order of their creation. And if i’ve posted incorrectly, forgive me, i’m
new to the game.
My first mech, the Scud
This is actually my thrid mech, the second was recycled
All the stuff in red is basically a military unit, the various colored ones are
hired mercs. This is the Terrapin hover tank
Sculpin troop carrier and assault vehicle
This is the high altitude command platform Shepherd
Merc sniper vehicle the Scarab
Merc assault craft the Torrent
Merc black ops craft the Gnat
Merc assault craft the Barracuda
Merc assault mech the Hornet
Z-10 Mech Killer
Assault Mech SKRIM (Swift Kill Reconnaisance Infantry Mech)
The Colonel’s Hover Jeep
Special Ops Hover Bike
An infantry powersuit the Ogre

I especially like the little flying support vehicles a lot. (...) (20 years ago, 5-Mar-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

| Hey David, that way to open up with both barrels of your Lego 12-guage. I can see Soren's evil influence, but detect none of the questionable odor. Be careful, or you'll also be sharing his addiction to industrial solvents. The mocs are all quite (...) (20 years ago, 6-Mar-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)
