I got back into Lego after a 20-year hiatus. The new pieces are really quite fascinating and open up a lot of new built options, particularly the SNOT (Studs Not On Top) brackets.
These are the result of a few months' of casual building. Lego isn't as affordable as I wish it could be, but there are KO brands available, and the Lego company actually makes it quite easy to order specific pieces.
I haven't named these models yet. I'm hoping to eventually have a series of multi-coloured mecha which resemble industrial, exploratory, or scientific models, retro-fitted for combat (The People's Revolutionary Mecha Force). They'll face off against another series of B/W/greyscale combat models (The Corporate Fascist Oligarchy). (Names pending).
- Mining mech with inspiration from Ripley's loader. The backpack is removable.

- This model was my first mecha attempt, and has now been dismantled since I've learned some new building techniques and acquired a much larger parts budget.

- Another early attempt with a more Mechwarrior feel.

Wow. Super cool builds
You might get away with cross posting this in the gaming comm. Hobby comm is pretty small (I think)
Thank you! Yeah, this is a small comm but I'm a but wary of sharing my creations so I wanted to start small, haha.
