Standing at 14.5 inches tall, the Traikon is my first mecha with Gundam-style hip and leg armor. Special thanks go out Eric Sophie and MC7- the ankle assembly is a modular version of their recent mecha frame ankle.

LMKWYT, Todd Amacher

Wonderful mecha Todd! I especially like how the colour scheme and repeated 6x6 dishes unify the whole. You achieved excellent harmony with this one. I also like the gun. :-D

The hands, although ostensibly sturdy, are out of proportion with the rest of the appendages. They also look too blocky. I definitely think you could pare them down a bit and actually make all the fingers posable.

Overall, well done! Hope to see you post more often, as I am a longtime fan of yours. ;-)

I thought more about the proportion of the hands and decided to redesign them, and take new pics. Check out the improvements. I appreciate the constructive criticism.

Later, Todd

Yeah they look better now. I recall Colin Gutierrez once had an awesome plate hinge hand design, but now his site is gone. However, IIRC, Mark Sandlin used a slightly modified version of it for his HM9 Enforcer Heavy Mecha. Check it out if you have the time.

Keep up the great work Todd.
