I originally tried to do this guy with ball joints in the hips and ankles, so I could pose it like one of the miniatures http://www.camospecs.com/Miniature.asp?ID=1324 It was balanced, but it was too heavy for the joints. I almost made it work by putting tires around the sockets, but it wasn't quite enough.

I've always like the resuplt version of the Thunderbolt more than the Unseen; I think it's the shoulders. The colors were just an excuse to order green bricks, I didn't want to do another grey mech (the black/dark red patch is meant to be an insignia for my lance, though :), and the exoforce joints in the shoulders limited my options for highlights. I suppose its kinda like a Northwind color scheme, but I think a tartan would be hard to pull off at this scale :P

Most excellent model of a classic, but what else can be expected from you. I can tell from the cockpit placement you went with the redesign version. Not a complaint just an observation, redesigns are fair game as well. The colors make me think Northwind Highlanders and I was wondering if you meant that deliberatly. I would greatly appreciate your feed back on my own Battletech creations.

Dude! Awesome Mech!

Impressive

Very cool! That's teh best mech I've seen in a long time now. I suggest you to join Metal Legion or Metal Legion Recruiting Command (both groups on MOCpages). There are great builders there, but mech master is something that I don't believe ML has - yet. ;)

I know nothing about Battletech's world but I really like this one. The choice of the green color was challenging but the result is awesome! And it's unusual. I first found it a kind of "stiff legs" but I got it when I saw the hinges you used for the ankles: Tough work indeed! Great job!!

Awesome and instantly recognizable mech! I love the color and parts usage. I think I may have to steal...er...borrow that hand/finger design. My only SLIGHT nit pick would be that the legs should be a couple plates wider to be more proportionate with the upper body. GReat work!

a really nice mech, the missile pod is looking great, and the whole design and coler looks really slim and nice, i specialy like the hands of it. and what is the colered square at the back ???

Awe-some!!

I'm amazed that you were able to find enough green parts to actually make something this nice with them. Awesome work on this!

It's good to see an actual Mech from the Battletech universe. So many details, it's very accurate! Good job.

Nicely done. It looks very accurate to me. ^Blub^
