Mech Suit Build Part 1 (OMC 2022)

The first part of my entry for The Original Mecha Contest 2022

Loved the idea of woman on her knees in pain. Beautiful, sad to see it abandoned, but that is how art goes. Great video as usual bloke.

[RIDDICK]

Absolutely love watching your builds! And the fact that this one is in my favorite scale makes it even more exciting, cannot wait for the next part. Oh, and those MCU Falcon boots are perfect for sci-fi custom figures for sure.

It`s always a pleasure to watch your builds.
This one has some kind of a gorilla- shape now because of the big arms.
Perhaps you can also use joints of circles (for math)?
They are quite small.

When an engineer turns to scratch building or vice-versa? Your method intrigues me, and your patient problem solving especially along the time-axis ("I'll figure that out later") is an inspiration. Btw get a mold of those boots before you glue them in, the details look versatile and a dry-brushers dream! Cheers.

Looks amazing! I love the way you talk through your thought processes. You have also given me inspiration to try something similar. Cant wait for Part 2.

[kurogiza]

This is excellent. Love the use of the ball joints for a posable figure. The skeleton and overall concept looks great. I'm looking forward to where you take this, keep up the good work!

[KathyMillatt]

Brilliant! Glad I am not the only one who has started a couple of times!

[lauraschlieselhuber]

Fucking awesome as usual. Can't wait to see the rest.

There are many different types of Loctite, you know. The standard loctite 290 makes a good hard bond. I glued the bottom bracket of my roadbike with it. Screwed it in hand tight, literally by hand without tools, and it stayed so for years. I doubt your screws would come loose except you want them to.

[Kammmm]

Awe inspiring work as always Joe. I think it's great that you shared your initial design and explained your rationale for moving to a different idea. The articulation and overall shape language of your entry is mind blowing. Thank you for sharing all the steps you've taken to create such a wonderful piece of art. Can't wait to see the next video!

[TheDarkArtist]

Another Awesome build. Great job. I dig it. Have you ever tried apoxie sculpt? It sounds very similar to the free form stuff . It is amazing stuff and very hard and durable

[aesotope]

Awesome as always. This could be a winner. Shame you can't cast a Barbie doll head or something similar.

[botsbeasts]

Nice work, Looking forward to the finished piece. Don't forget the Photo requirement of the build with the OMC entry in the shot.
I'll be starting mine soon too!

[JDSG]

Always good to see new mech stuff, keep it up ;)

[BrushQuill]

Looking awesome so far. Love how it has a gorilla look too it it the over long arms and big shoulders

[elcanardoloco]

first to see beautiful project ; thanks

[cragrat]

Great video as always . When you was sculpting your armature I couldn’t help but wonder if you could have used on of those wooden anatomy figures?

[-MrFozzy-]

Such a cool idea! You’re very talented bud…very inspirational!
