r/LegoMechs

Sorry for the wait, here is the next big step towards a complete head !

You may not see it directly, but there are several structural problems in the frame (you can see plates and bricks starting to disconnect at the back).

I plan on redoing the whole inner structure to only use technic frame pieces.

This way, it will be lighter and much, much stronger. Maybe I'll rework the cockpit too, idk.

Expect a lot of waiting for this to come, sadly. Brick order takes at least a week to arrive, and most of the time, a whole month. I also run on a relatively thin salary, so these projects eat cash like it's nothing.

see you soon for more !

I wanted to put my few purple tiles to good use. used nearly all of em

A heavy mech with a more CQB thought in mind, big fists for hand to hand and a plasma shotgun/turret on his shoulder. Had some plasma-esque knives but they didn’t really fit the heavy vibe so I opted to take them off.

This is a v1 and I’m planning to redo certain aspects of this as a pick a brick order comes in so any thoughts or criticisms would be appreciated.

My original Rifleman was maybe a bit too big on the tabletop, so I made this slightly smaller version. Some details were lost in the process of shrinking down, but now it's more manageable as a game piece, and still recognizable.

Better get the a or b version of the jumper plate 1745 for the waist. That is, one of the old variants with a peg in the underside. This will make the connection stronger. Conversely, use the new c version for the top. If you can't get the old jumper, consider changing the dish to a round 2x2 jumper.

Articulated legs. Torso and arms are able to turn 360 degrees.

A trans clear antenna was used to attach the model to a game base.

Rebrickable

Something I came up with cause I saw some videos on YouTube and I thought it could be fun to make one myself. 🙌

This mecha isn't on par with most of the mechas on this r/, but due to the scarcity of pcs and the unavailability of the crucial brick (4733) with 5 studs, it was all that I could do...
