15mm mecha

[Slick]

Here after about 2 years of refinement and tweaking is the core build for my 15mm light mech. All parts of the mech are 3d except for the joints that are 2d and 2.5d. This mech will have articulated joints in the following locations feet, knees, hips, waist, elbows and shoulders so that you can arrange your models in any pose you want then glue it in place. I will also be making a large selection of common mecha type weapons. I think I grasped the general feel that I was looking for, kind of a cross between Front Mission and Armored Core. The height without shoulder weapons will be 42mm. This model will not be for the first time paper modeler due to its size but I tried to keep the polygons easy to build. More updates to come in the future

Just the one posted my page. I am working on the weapons now I want to get all the 3d work finished before I unfold it for texturing. I did unfold the smallest parts like the head and back of the foot to see if it was even possible to build them. Even thought they are small (about 4mm per side) they are quite easy to build with some tweezers because of there simple shapes. I think I will also add some 2.5d parts to the legs and arms to cover up the joints a bit.

Its a far cry from this



That was posted back on onemonk's forum before I even started Slicks Miniatures. Heck that thing was made in MSpaint LOL. but you can see that I have kept the some basic design principals.

Anyone still here?

I was wondering if any more sets from the NCC set were going to be released anytime soon.
