Hello!
A new mecha left my dockyard:
It is the Madcat or Timberwolf from Battletech or Mechwarrior.
My Madcat operates on an iceplanet. So I create a camouflage-snow-Version of
it. In colors like the military use it, in snow. In gemany we woud say
“Schneetarn”, I do not know if it is in english called “Sky Camo”? Sometimes
pictures tell more than words, I wanted to create a Mecha in this Design:
Here is the result:
Here you can see all Pics of this Mecha:

Facts:
Madcat is a 75 Tons Clan OmniMech.
I create Madcat in a camouflage-snow-design -SchneeTarn. To display the
camouflage-snow-design (Schneetarn) design, I used Lego-Stickers from the
7467 set. This wars my last step, to ad the Stickers. First I used many more
of those stickers. For example I completly paste up (laminate) the
Missel-launcher-boxes with those stickers. But that was to much. It dosent
looks langer like a lego creation. So I began to use the stickers spare and
dosed/regulated.
For the Minifig Torsos I used the same 7467 Stickers.
(And it is not easy to remove this stickers from Lego bricks! Be careful if
you use it.)
On Page 2 in my Madcat(Brickshelf)Gallery you can see the Original Pictures
of the Madcat.

I tryed to
hold me strong on these pictures, when I createt and build my Madcat Version.
Look on this pictures, they are very interesting.
Especially the technical
diagrams show many technical details of the original Madcat.
In practice the legs are not so solid/stable as I think before.
But it works.
Complete missiles are in the missile-luncher-boxes.
This is my first armed Mecha.
Later a civil-version without weaponry will follow.
The Madcat was the first Mecha that I have seen in my childhood, so far I can
renember. I seen it on a Computermagazin many years agao. And now it was time
to make a Lego Version of one of my alltime favorite Mechas: The Madcat.
Questions and comments are welcome!
I hope you enjoy it!
Regards Dan

Gorgeous--an attractive design overall! I’ve never played Battletech, but I’ve
always liked the design of the Madcat, even if I haven’t been able to
design/build one myself. The missile rack is very impressive and true to the
original, and I like how you’ve built the cockpit and canopy. Also, the
foot-pads are nicely done, and their positioning gives a real sense of motion
and action.
Very very cool!
Dave!
The photo presentation is very effective and gives a great sense of the scale of
the vehicle.
