Chuck Posted November 8, 2007 Silly concept, I know, but I like it nonetheless. A few notes about this. This was built pretty much with spare white and red parts from a small, broken MOC and 2 ferrari sets. This was also based on a rather obscure Anime I saw on Cartoon Network a while back. Yes, I do have a strange obsession with small, somewhat useless windshields ;-) Enjoy! -Chuck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lt. Col. Thok Posted November 9, 2007 Very nice Chuck! I like your miniature creations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chuck Posted November 9, 2007 Very nice Chuck! I like your miniature creations. It isn't miniature, hence the prescence of a (full) fig in it ;-) -Chuck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starwars4J Posted November 9, 2007 It isn't miniature, hence the prescence of a (full) fig in it ;-) -Chuck I'm pretty sure he meant the fact that you make small MOCs rather than larger ones, generally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iamded Posted November 9, 2007 I think this is awesome! I really like how you use odd but clever building methods, very cool! It all looks nice and detailed. Kudos for getting it to stand up too! :-D *y* *y* ~Peace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MicVash Posted November 9, 2007 Wow, very nice Mech, excellent color scheme, I only wish it could transform into a Ferrari though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LuxorV Posted November 9, 2007 Great MOC *y* *y* Clever use of the bionicle joints for the hips, and smart use of the inner wedge to support the body on the wheels *wub* Obscure Anime inspirations ON *y* LuxorV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chuck Posted November 11, 2007 Wow, very nice Mech, excellent color scheme, I only wish it could transform into a Ferrari though! That would probably end with one minifig dead :-P -Chuck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trexxen Posted November 13, 2007 Wow, that's amazing! I'm loving the use of the minifigure hands to connect the arms - looks great on this creation. You mention you fit a whole minifigure in there; do you have to destroy the torso to get him out? Also, does it stand sturdily? I'd imagine that the wheels could create a problem with standing... Overall, a very nice, compact MOC - with full marks for creativity, too. Also, just going to take a stab at the mystery anime since I haven't seen anything on that channel for a while - is it Megas XLR? ~Trexxen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SirNadroj Posted November 13, 2007 Looks cool! *y* I like the little windshield ( ;-) ) but I'm not feeling the hands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iamded Posted November 13, 2007 looks nice. not very sturdy i assume? the mech's arms are connected via mf hands and mf legs. That's the method I used for my robot, and the method CountBlockula sometimes uses. I think it's clever, and quite like it myself. :-D That would probably end with one minifig dead :-P I always wondered what would happen if a transformer transformed with someone inside it, especially after the new movie! :-P I imagine it would be quite messy... 8-| ~Peace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I try my best to make sure that a figure can fit in my Minifig scaled creations! The "mystery anime" is actually a short-lived show called "IGPX", which stood for "Immortal Grand Prix" (maybe the last X in the abbreviation means 10) . For anyone interested in attempting to make their own, cross section pics are available on my Flickr. -Chuck Edited November 13, 2007 by Chuck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lt. Col. Thok Posted November 15, 2007 I've heard of the show - It was on Teletoon a few years back.... Will we see any more of these soon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iamded Posted November 15, 2007 Cool, thanks for the cross-section pics. :-D Looking at your other creations, I must say you're a great builder! The Steampunk TIE Fighter, the Spartan Hardsuit (thanks for the cross-section pics for that too!), th MaK SAFS, excellent! Dual rip-off of Soren Roberts' patrol boat and Keith Goldman's Iron Shark. I see you've seen Keith Goldman's MOCs too. Is he the same Keith Goldman as this one? ~Peace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
