Veyman-CRKT "Cricket"
Veyman-CRKT base frame (60pcs) carries over much of the aesthetics of the Veyman-HK (which started with the Veyman Genesis).
Design journal:
Continuing the Veyman aesthetic with a quad, I’ve been playing with this core design on and off for a while. I have dozens of variations scattered about my desk. I started with how to make a simple, low-parts quad-leg set-up without an octagon plate. It took a lot of iteration, but I settled on this. Then I focused on carrying over the shoulder config from the Veyman Genesis and Veyman-HK into a turret-like body, but a quad really didn’t need the slight angle it added to the overall shape so I dropped it in favor of a more solid tank-like build. This also allowed for a more simplified parts list (just 2 SNOT bricks in the base frame). The core maximizes slope bricks for shaping and implied articulation. Once again, the whole frame was kept angular with only the head/cockpit being curved. With no arms, the body and legs needed to be optimized for hardpoints; the sides of the body and legs were obvious, but the dorsal area between the 2 aft wings is eminently configurable. It’s a little larger than I prefer for a MFZ table, but it’s well within a 10x10 box.
