“Piranga” Heavy Artillery 53-R
Roughly one and a half years ago I received a LEGO Gel Pen as a gift. I immediately imagined it as a Railgun and have been thinking about using it in one of my builds since. And the Fashion Robots presented the perfect opportunity to finally implement that idea.
As you can see the result is quite a bit bigger than all my previous Bots. To incorporate the clothing, which this time is a red pants from LEGO Scala, I gave the mech additional arms at the waist, similar to the look of a Kangaroo. This type of design is quite popular among mech concept artists. However this build is not based on any particular piece of artwork and instead was mostly driven by my desire to incorporate the new (or not so new anymore?) red wedge plates .
This is also the first Fashion Bot which does not feature any custom prints or decals. I think the original decorated LEGO parts offer enough detail. Also, I really liked the clean look of the red surfaces and therefore refrained from cluttering them with logos or texts. I did add some custom chromed elements, but apart from that it is completely made with original LEGO elements.
This is the second to last Fashion Bot. I am still waiting for some parts for the last one, so I might have to skip next week and instead post some different builds from last year.
Hope you have enjoyed the series so far!
