Mark Stafford‘s Sentai Angel is by far from a delicate mecha. It looks like this raging robo can dish out some serious damage. The most interesting bit of this creation is unarguably the use of train heads on the legs! Who’d have thought?
Tom Snellan is the first to enter the 6th annual Collossal Castle Contest with a creation that sets the bar high. Titled “The Perfect Life?”, this seemingly peaceful diorama depicts happiness with a twist, where hooded Death approaches ominously to claim an innocent’s life. What an eerie juxtaposition!
Remember Peter Morris‘ Mammoth Tank? Dimitri recently rendered this model in stunning realism, making the creation appear no less than physically tangible in front of your eyes. According to Peter, a rendering like this takes much computer horsepower and skills and there’s only “a couple others out there that render as well as [Dimitri] does. But they are very, very rare.”
You can find Dimitri’s contact information in his Brickshelf gallery.
Bram Lambrecht presents a re-vamped version of an old MOC called the Pentapterigoid Fighter built all the way back in 1999. The new and vastly improved spacecraft is entered into the Re-build Your First MOC contest (ending Nov. 30th).
Tyler Clites‘ Inquisitor mecha is sinister enough to crush your minifigs in its deathly grip if it doesn’t step on them first. Inspired by this image, this retro-looking mechanical monster stays true to its reference source. The subtle details on the landscape completes this work with an earthly alien setting.
Peter Reid‘s Exo Suit is the latest smash hit in his Neo Classic-Space genre. It doesn’t take any pointers for one to see how ingeniously awesome this is. When it comes down to details on your next mechanical biped, Peter is the man to dish out the greebs.
