A few months ago, Scott sent me the lower legs and shoulders from his Zeus in 1/60 scale. Now, the Zeus is far from my favorite mech...its not even in my top ten...but as Coke was nice enough to send me some pieces, I decided to do my own version.
I used the paper model found at Mech3.org as my template. The torso I filled in and built up with Apoxy Sculpt. The legs and upper arms were layered to look armored like the Zeus-X. It is pretty much done except for some tweaks to the gun arm to include an ammo feed mechanism and the radiator fins coming off the shoulder.
As it is not my favorite design, I will entertain offers for it. Just drop me an e-mail.

Adrain Tan's Maruader
So, I am going through my stuff and find a folder with these pics. Blessed Blake only knows how I misplaced these, but they are of a build Adrain Tan did of a Maruader. Here is what he has to say about the build:
...while searching on the net for resources, I came across this pic and I just have to use it as a reference to build my kit.
Adrain, that is an AWSOME interpretation and does fit the Battlemech feel much better than the original. Please feel free to share more of your builds at any time. Thanks!

We all know that the Macross Pod Glaug looks exactly like the Marauder. So using a Bandai Pod Glaug kit as a base, I tried to modify it so that it looks more Mechwarrior and less Macross...I also built a open up hatch so that I could install a cockpit.

Annihilator!
Okay...two years ago I started this bugger. I was making good progress on the torso, but was getting hung up on the legs. So, I sent it to the "Jedi Master" of mechs, Scott from the Messy Desk blog. He sent it back a week ago and I finished some scribing, cleaning and detail work. I sent Scott a mech about 30% done...he backed off some of what I did and ran with the the other 70-75%. He has my thanks...and I have the ANNIHILATOR!

Thanatos!
Here are some pics of the Thanatos I have been working on. Except for a few tweaks, I think it is about there!

Thanatos!
Here are some shots of the Thanatos. This is going to be another "one of a kind" piece. It is coming in closer to 1/72 scale than 1/60 scale. I may try another larger version later.
