green dewback Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) The night before going to buy this, my brain was too active with thoughts to fall asleep. It is now around 36hours since I woke up. What a long active day. Since weeks ago I had this plan to give the Mine Mech big weapon arms, built them with the parts and colour scheme of the 4795. most importantly the hinges were from that set. http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=4795-1 Less than 10 minutes after finish building the Mine-Mech Ive tried the big weapon arms on, changed some design, and was satisfied with the final result. I had to drop the idea of ammo crate and breach for the orange howitzer due to space constrain. During the photoshoot, the ammo belt keep on falling because its stubborn to the slight "twisting force". After uploading on the computer, the dark grey and dark blueish grey seem to be messed up, I think my camera is having difficulty picking up that colour in that light condition. When I was younger I watched the Starship Troopers: Roughnecks on TV, those walker robots were very cool but I was too young then to understand the storyline. This "moc" (I kept the cockpit and legs of the official build so its not a true MOC) have various inspiration from other Gundam, namely the grapple hook, folding vibroblade & beam pistol combo, cone shaped reactor, box shaped thrusters, multiple minigun on 1 arm. Arms down. highly poseable ball joint legs & arms showing you the miniguns flip out sword for melee cool looking stance extended slice left shoulder shoulder cannon up power reactor & thrusters thrusters flip up defending the airspace stompin the rocky ball joint balance *edit* Missed out 2 pics.

dhaas06 Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Now that's a Mine Mech! If only the official set were anything like this... Quote
ProducePrincess Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 You make the mine mech cool I like your addition of epalutes to the minifig . The things you should look at are the left arm, it looks a little empty pretty violent mod , good work Quote
prateek Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 that's cool, i like the chain gun and the sword rotor thingy Quote

calebexo01 Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 the arms dont quite look like POWER MINERS but is still looks awesome! nice idea and great job! Quote
kill will Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 It looks almost exactly like the mechs from the Matrix Revolutions, just both arms need machine guns. Quote
green dewback Posted May 18, 2009 Author Posted May 18, 2009 After the first sighting of the Crystal King, the PowerMiners went back to the drawing board to develop new weapons for their defence. Due to budget constrains, they decided to just upgrade their convoy defence mine-mech. Beam sword, dual cannon, rocket launcher. Some of the shots seem blurry, ill go clean the lens. Quote
