Blake's Baericks
Centurion 1-16
Good day all!
I know most of you probably did a double-take when you saw who this was built by. Yes, Blake Baer, the castle builder, has finally come out of his bubble to join some of the more sane(?) in building a mech. There was no real purpose for this build, just a good way to hop back into the scheme of the LEGO world. (Was I ever really gone?)
Despite my idiotic ramblings, I would like to give a quick shout out to Cam M who most of you probably know as being one of the best hard-suit makers on Flickr. He was a huge inspiration in building this, and to me in general. I will probably express some more love at a later time, but for now, that will suffice. God bless you bro!
The Build:
I have NEVER built one of these before! Please keep that in mind as you comment. Despite that, I would really appreciate tons of feedback from you guys. As I said, I am so insecure in this area of building that it would help a ton to get some critiques. A lot of this build was centered around the colors. I enjoyed the refreshing challenge of just using the shades of purple and dark turquoise to create a mech. Also, the structural design and the engineering was a fun challenge.
I suppose one of my goals with this build, was to attract a different crowd to my stream than the typical castle folk. I have always thought that sticking to one single theme can get rather boring and won't refine your skills as much as venturing into other areas. To be sure, this build really brought forth a ton of new challenges than I normally face with my landscapes.
I would love to talk some more about this, but am not sure what. Please post any comments/questions below so I can ramble on just a little longer. :D
Also, to those that have some experience in building Mechs, I would really appreciate some critiques and suggestions from you guys. I have no experience what-so-ever with these bad-boys, so I feel quite uncertain about how this will fare.
Grace and Peace,
-Blake
