Cyber Horse mecha

[LuxorV]

Hi everybody, it's been too long since I last posted a mecha MOC, so I'm hppy to do this again.

Some time ago I decided to try my hand at a four-legged, non-piloted mech. Browsing the internet for inspiration, I came upon some very interesting forms, but I wanted mine to look more 'organic' than most. Moreover, I noticed most multi-legged ones are more or less insectoid in appearance, and I wanted to make something more mammalian. So I went for a horse.

More views can be found in this Brickshelf gallery (once public).

I hope you like it

Comments and critics are welcome.

It looks very much like a Zoid and for that I love it.

The colour scheme and "finish" is nice and understated which suits something graceful like a horse. The construction also looks good and sturdy, which is another plus point as too many mecha MOCs look like they are about to fall apart. The tail is a great detail.

And you know what, it even looks Zoid Scale!

I like this MOC

Thanks Peppermint

Indeed, being a Zoids fan, that was one of the concepts I had in mind when I built this. I did not check the scale (which is probably near to the Zoids' one, as you say), but I really fell it to be quite similar to a Griffin (without the wings, of course).

The tail is one of my favourite parts, too. I'm glad I could come up with a good rendition of that detail from my reference picture

Hello!

In one sentence, it looks fantastic! I remember also a white mechanical horse in the animated TV series "Saber Rider".

I had to look twice at your horse to realize that it mostly consists of wedge pieces of all kinds. You brought the potential of wedge-shaped pieces to perfection with your horse.

Most facinated I am by the ears of the horse. It's what I call a winner brick. It's a single piece that adds some specific detail besides contributing to the general shape of a creation. The modified plate with angled side tubes is a very clever move here.

Cheers,

This is the classic case when you find yourself with no idea on how to finish a MOC for a bit, then the perfect piece fals in you hand like magic

Oh Wow, this is just an excellent MOC LuxorV! I simply love it. I agree with Peppermint the first time I laid my ones on this beauty I first thought of Zoids. Great job on achieving an overall futuristic mechanical look for this Cyber Horse. The use of those various wedge slopes really gives this mecha-horse a muscular stallion look, and the white color scheme really looks very elegant.

Wow,that's great.But it looks like demon dog for me.

Thank you KielDaMan. Indeed, I'm very pleased with how the 'muscles' look

Well, everybody has his views
