    This is the 26th model in the series, which means the first half is officially done.

    Based off this Blood Angels Chaplain miniature from Warhammer 40000...

    (I know it's not a mech, robot or drone, but Markus and I agreed that exo-suits, power suits, hardsuits etc. are legit. :S)

    ...I give you:

    Next week's theme: “Shiny” (to celebrate the first half of the year being complete)

    See you next Monday!

    Thanks, Marcel. It's nice that you have enough time to relax and comment on MOCs again. :)

    Here's another homage to Exo-Force: a revamp of the 8115 set, to complement my Aero Booster.

    This time I took more liberty and made the set as it should have been: a proper panther with teal instead of purple, gold instead of yellow, single pilot, and a tail cannon — rawr!

    It was time for another Gundam mobile suit, this time in light aqua...

    I haven't really been consistent with the scale of my Gundams. the first and the second are in quite a large scale. The third and the fourth are similar in size, but the scale is much smaller, since those two are larger in the series. This week's model is intentionally smaller. I wanted to experiment with the scale and to step away from the usual. The size is significantly smaller than the other four, but the scale is close to that of the third or fourth. Unfortunately, the first three have been packed since the Kockice Convention so I haven't taken a photo of all four of them... yet.

    The design of the cross on the shield is borrowed from a model I built seven years ago.

    Mech-ception!

    Sadly, I didn't have enough orange globlins for all the little dudes... (the red ones are printed at a wrong angle) ...so I used snowgies!

    This week's theme is Music, and Andrea came to my mind as an obvious mech pilot.

    The model is dedicated to Suhi, a fellow builder from Croatia. Check out his models on his Flickr stream.

    In case you forgot about Exo-Force, here's a reminder in the form of a revamp of 8106:

    After two less serious mechs, here's another Gundam mobile suit. I was drawn to this one because at first glance it looks like a mess, and not a mech... I don't think the photo sells it well. It's actually quite big and barely fit inside my light tent.

    An Easter egg for Easter seems logical...

    Marcel, you probably won't find this hard to believe... This is the third or fourth idea I had for the eye holder tubes/vessels, but Markus had none of the other pieces I wanted because they were all common non-rare, non-exclusive, non-expensive pieces, such as Technic macaroni, animal S-tails etc. So Markus didn't force me to use minifig hands... not directly anyway.

    Turned out that when in Rome... :S

    (You should have seen how many times the pieces fell on the floor... :sleeping:)

    This week's model is part of a collaboration between three builders: Markus, Chris and myself. We all built at Markus's place last week. I give you...

    Unreal Tournament came out in 1999 so what better way to mark the iconic FPS's 20th anniversary than building the boss:

    Thanks, Marcel! Yes, the mech itself is kind of me(c)h, but you said it all. :D

    And here it is: for those who didn't watch the video, perhaps this will intrigue you. :S

    Thanks for the persistence, Marcel. I enjoy reading your comments. :)

    This week it's a real treat because this mech is more than meets the eye. Watch the video to see what I mean.

    This model is an extension of a previous MM model. Do you remember which one? (Spoiler in the video.)

    P.S.

    This week concludes the first quarter, which means 25% is done!

    Thanks, Marcel. I enjoyed reading your comment. What I thought would be a boring model seems to be one of the most popular ones so far.

    Loved the pun too. :D

    March is the month of building Fuchikomas, also known as Marchikoma, so here is one in the steampunk aesthetic.
