TMOH: Block Chest Brigade 2

Here's a couple of new -- well, new since the last Block Chest post -- designs plus some better shots of the older designs.

Bug.  The whole reason for creating this was using
the Canopy pieces as wings.  Brickshelf gallery.

Hover.  This one was built around the idea of movable
engines.  MFZ Stats: 2Rd/1G/2W  Brickshelf gallery.

Jaeger.  Built initially for the 3T Challenge, this is essentially a member of
the Block Chest family even though the arm design is slightly different.
MFZ Stats: 2Rd+d8/2Y/2W.  Brickshelf gallery.

Gunhead.  I have no idea why I didn't share a better picture
of this one the last time around.  Brickshelf Gallery.

Green.  The first member of the Block Chest family constructed with
the new ball joints.  I didn't have enough of some of the standard leg
pieces so I changed them for this iteration.  Brickshelf gallery.




I hope you enjoyed this look at the continuing evolution of the Block Chest frame.

TMOH: Block Chest Brigade

The Block Chest design started with this version.

I wasn't exactly happy with the way it looked and the one stud connection from the chest to the waist was way too fragile.  I did like the way the legs looked though.  So I worked a bit more and it became this.

It has the same essential shape, just smaller.  He has a brother.

After a building spree I added a few more to the lineup and modified the Prototype into something I was happy with.  Here's the squad together.  (It's not the greatest of pictures.)

Here are a few specialized versions.

This is another picture of the first Block Chest mech in a more limber pose.

You can see it's a fun little frame that can be modified into multiple variants.  I should have a few more pictures to share with you soon.
