For someone with Photoshop skills who’s a fan of both mecha model kits and LEGO, creating one’s own line of kits (well, at least an imaginary line), complete with box art, seems inevitable. Izzo is one such person, and he just started a new series of mecha called “Gunhead Bagune.”
Here’s BG-01 OA-LBUE (blog post):
And BG-02 MIDON-GURE (blog post):
I don’t think very many people will disagree with me when I say that Squieu is one of the greatest mecha builders around. He recently uploaded pictures of more than a dozen new mecha, but this one in particular caught my eye — an awesome suit of power armor:
Yokozuna are the highest-ranked class of sumo wrestlers, and the power armor distinctly resembles its namesake.
Pointy!
(From Jehkay, who, incidentally, has figured out a rather ingenious, if obvious, method of hosting all one’s photos on Flickr for free…)
lego2000/m20xr has designed a hardsuit reminiscent of Maschinen Krieger, and it’s really rather cool. Here it is with an “optional 75 mm chain gun”:
LEGO Ambassador, Classic-Castler and LEGO builder extrodonaire Nelson Yrizarry has done it again and created his own new subtheme: CheeseBots. Wallow in it’s cheesy goodness, and check out the intergration of yellow minifig accessories, including mugs, lifes vests, jackhammer, goblets and more. His constuction techniques aren’t bad either. ;)
CG LEGO is really growing on me, thanks to Tim Gould. Here’s his latest, ED-209 from the Robocop movies:
Brickshelfer DARKspawn may be better known for his many castle creations, but his “MadCat BattleMech” inspired by Battletech and MechWarrior isn’t half bad either:
Nice use of the Catwoman torso for the pilot.
It hasn’t been long since I posted something by Moko (is it ever?), but I haven’t posted a mecha by him in a while. Moko’s latest is a rather shiny robot inspired by knights of old:
It’s been a while since I’ve blogged one of Izzo’s mecha. Today, he plays around with the latest revision to his basic frame. Here are the results, a great tan and dark grey mech:

And for those of our readers living in a cave or spider-hole, or perhaps held incommunicado against your will, to Nate’s list of summer 2007 Castle box art, I’m compelled to add City, Exo-Force, Batman, Star Wars, etc. (All via Eurobricks, where you can see new pics from Creator and Technic as well.)
My favorites…
From Star Wars, 7661 Jedi Starfighter with Hyperdrive Ring (Kit Fisto!!!):
From Batman, 7786 some sort of Batcopter with Scarecrow’s biplane:
From City, 7998 dump truck:
From Exo-Force, a very large mecha:
Drum roll… The new space theme, Mars Mission[!] (Apply the exclamation point at your own discretion.) I like the drop-ship thingy:
I’ll definitely get this drop-ship, but I’ll withhold judgement on Mars Mission as a whole until we can see better pictures of the minifigs.
