zane_houston Posted January 28, 2013 In the not too distant future, with deforestation rates at an all time high, a tribe of well-equipped chimps take matters into their own hands. rEvolution by zane_houston, on Flickr rEvolution by zane_houston, on Flickr And the star of the show: the Ape Armor Ape Armor by zane_houston, on Flickr This was a really fun build, the trees and the whole... diorama thing are a bit foreign to me so I'm glad I took a whack at it.

Si-MOCs Posted January 28, 2013 haha the toes! Brilliant mech, the Gorilla features you've been able to capture build is incredible! Really well built and fun entry! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kristel Posted January 28, 2013 Wow. Great mech suit and awesome scene! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmynick Posted January 28, 2013 Wonderful mech! The use of modified tiles to create the gorilla's face is beautiful and highly evocative of the real thing. I also like the judicious use of technic hoes and the undersides of slope bricks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
burlogh Posted January 28, 2013 Awesome mech, I really like tha face and the muscles! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tazmaniac Posted January 28, 2013 So much win here, it's heaps better than the prototype Gorilla Mech we didn't see at Brickvention.... just don't tell Mark Stafford. The head is spot on and it's proportions are great, this'll be the one to beat...and I thought I had a chance. .... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob De Quatre Posted January 28, 2013 The Ape armor is so great!! It even has opposable thumb!! that's a very good entry! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soccerkid6 Posted January 28, 2013 Blown away by the mech design The figs, truck, and forest are all excellent too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ninja Nin Posted January 28, 2013 Awesome mech !! To me, it looks like the Stone Giant from LotR at first glance ... but features from gorilla distinguish it clearly .... Amazing !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Praiter Yed Posted January 28, 2013 This is stunning! - I'm reminded of the mechanical King Kong from those old Godzilla movies. In fact, in different colours and without the cock-pit this would make a nice brick-built Kong. Your truck is also well done. Superb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cortman Posted January 28, 2013 Wow- I'm amazed at how accurately it captures gorilla facial features and body. Terrific mech AND diorama! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
