Decale Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) Hello again AFOL comrades, I'm proud to show you a MOC I like a lot, Metal Gear Red Sorry Metal Gear Solid fans, this guy doesn't belong to the universe! It's just that the head, foot, legs -well the shape of it all- reminded me strongly of metal gear rex (and maybe of the geckos of MGS4). I also like this picture (epic, isn't it?) because in MGS games, mechas are often represented roaring like savage beasts, making the player almost forgetting he is fighting a machine piloted by a human and not a giant animal. The captain and pilot is posing with it and his minions. They are doted with armored bikes with removable bazookas. Now please take a look at the beast: from down to up: -Gatling gun, in case infantry would try to pass between the legs. -Double 2x2 long range grenade launchers -Double air-pulsed machine guns, anti-armored vehicles ammunitions. -And of course two nuclear heads (maybe to small? bah, I don't really like nuclear stuff, but it's more MetalGear-like) The two missiles are on an arm that can adjust to find the perfect angle to... well, to nuke your face actually And here is where the pilot takes place So, that's it, finally a MOC I like a lot, I worked a lot on colors and shapes, experimented with SNOT techniques (I used two collectible minifigs stands, can you find them?) I'm still limited in parts, so everything is a challenge to me, but I like it this way! I'll be really happy to have some criticisms and advices as always! (you can find some more, bigger pictures here as well as some shots of the back, the bikes etc) Bonus pics: The two factions at war: This guy is a real warrior Edited January 15, 2011 by Decale Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Very good Mech design Decale! I really like the use of those curved slopes and wedges to achieve an overall sleek design. The color scheme represents the description very well and is quite consistent with the minions too. Well done overall! Quote
Decale Posted January 15, 2011 Author Posted January 15, 2011 Thank you very much guys! As you can see, I'm working hard to improve! The color scheme represents the description very well and is quite consistent with the minions too. Well done overall! I just had those two WorldRacers bikes, and the idea of a contrast (although not in color) between pirate torsos and high-tech stuff to finally create an army seemed sexy to me. Quote
Zorbas Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Very nice work Decale. Although that these mechas are not exact copies of Metal Gears as you've already stated, both of them look nice and creatively built. It's just that the head, foot, legs -well the shape of it all- reminded me strongly of metal gear rex Being an MGS fan from the old days and seeing the cockpit/head, I could say that it looks more like Metal Gear Ray to me.

OrangeKNight Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Nice use of the Deep Sea Predator Windscreen, I never thought it it could be used nowadays! I should dig mine out and try to use it for something. xD Mike Quote
Decale Posted January 16, 2011 Author Posted January 16, 2011 Being an MGS fan from the old days and seeing the cockpit/head, I could say that it looks more like Metal Gear Ray to me. I didn't know this one, but after a quick google-ing, I'd like to say: are you sure? Oh, and also it made me want to sell my xbox, buy a ps3 and enjoy MGS4 ! Nice use of the Deep Sea Predator Windscreen, I never thought it it could be used nowadays! I should dig mine out and try to use it for something. xD Mike Yeah you can always end up with some cool and different-looking designs by mixing old and new parts. Actually, I have to admit the choice of parts is limited by my...limited collection of parts. If you create something cool with this windscreen, don't forget to show me! Quote
Zorbas Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 I didn't know this one, but after a quick google-ing, I'd like to say: are you sure? I'm only talking about the cockpit here. Ray's one has a more "pointy" look, similar to the one you've created. Quote
Baylego Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Very cool! It must stay balanced well even though it looks top heavy Quote
Decale Posted January 17, 2011 Author Posted January 17, 2011 I'm only talking about the cockpit here. Ray's one has a more "pointy" look, similar to the one you've created. Oh yeah you were right, I didn't see him on this angle. As a fan, you may know Ragnarock's version of Rex! Just beautiful Quote
