Build Journal: Tan Machine

I stumbled across the instructions for Baseframe_2 in one of my random skims through Flickr streams looking for interesting mecha.  I thought the upper torso design by m_o_n_k_e_y would make for a good main torso for a mech.

Now all I had to do is come up with arms and legs to finish the design.

For the arms I went with a combination of techniques from Vincent Baker and Zizy.

The legs are an experiment with the new Mixel ball joints.

Here's what they look like all combined.

I'm probably going to keep experimenting with leg designs.  I'm not quite happy with this iteration.  I'm also going to work on getting the color scheme a little more unified.
