(MOC) 4-LOM Battle Mech

[BarfolomewMog]

Hi,

Here is the fourth mech in this series. It's been 98% done for a long time now but sometimes life forces you to put Lego on hold for a bit.

There are a lot more Constraction type pieces and techniques in this one but it still relies heavily on the System method.

As with the others, it was designed to have the minifig's head exposed underneath the helmet.

I hope you like it!

Another great moc of yours and worthy addition to the series

Another excellent addition to the series, I love how bug-like it works. It's like a hyperrealization of 4-LOM's own design.

I was just wondering when we'd be treated to another one of these! Marvelous work as always - I like the difference in aesthetic to the others.

Fantastic model, I love the legs!

Great as always. I'm kind of surprised Lego hasn't tried something like this themselves since they seem to love mechs so much these days.

Thanks, I've always felt that he was like an insect version of C-3PO, so, to balance that awkwardness, I figured that his mech should have the impression of an insect crossed with a Japanese superbike (minus the wheels).

I tried to make him all curves and greebles because I wanted him to have a bit of an organic feel and be a bit more alien like.

Thanks! The main feature of 4-LOM I wanted to keep was the shape and roundness of his knee joints but other than that I felt I had freedom to do what I liked. I thought that grasshopper type legs would fit the insect aesthetic I was going for.

I think maybe because you have to be fairly careful to get the model properly balanced. Once the legs are arranged in the proper position he's quite stable though.

 

Thank you everyone for your kind words, I really appreciate the time you've taken to leave feedback.

Cheers
