I left my dark ages with the advent of Exo-Force and the ‘giant’ mecha that was the basis for that theme. So I built the sets, particularly getting 4-5 of the Grand Titan. From that I made a few different versions of my own, large, red, mech.
This is one that survived a few moves and lots of playing and roughhousing. I basically kept the legs from the Titan. The arms a little more modified and then mirrored as I wanted two hands vs. hand+weapon.
This is the work in process that I have titled this post about. It looks rather complete, especially as I reused the arms and legs again. The torso is together but feel like I could do better. Particularly the seat for the minifig is strongly tied to the legs but that’s not so strongly tied to the torso.
I also like to refine all the pieces in use the least necessary, so there is a lot of optimization to be done. I think the leg segment, which is at 33deg from the torso, could be connected better with clips and strengthened internally.
I’m pleased with the ‘head’ of the mech, I’m calling this a Medium Armored Aardvark. The winking eye really ties it together for me.
