Full metal ostrich

Originally planned to be a flying war machine, this mech was equipped with the most powerful mechanic legs to gain take off speed. Eventually, the wing concept was abandoned, because of the high rate of crashes, leaving just two canons on legs. Soon, the nickname full metal ostrich was established by soldiers all over the world, making fun of this rather less efficient war machine.

The first of a few mechs/drones I built recently. I played with the contrasts a bit to achieve a more metallic look of the dark grey parts.
