MATILDA Sentient Mech Queen

First of all, credit goes to Si-MOCs for his awesome editing of this photo (I added the cheesy text, which Simon probably wouldn't want credit for in the first place). You can see my "editing" on the rest of the pictures in this set, so a huge special thanks to Simon for doing this for me, I think it adds a ton to the presentation.

Created with the most advanced A.I. developed in human history, MATILDA's purpose was to control other autonomous machines to keep them functioning efficiently as a unit. She soon learned we were no longer necessary for her survival and turned on us. Few humans remain; MATILDA's mechs are unstoppable.

This is my largest mech to date. I'm moving to California for work this summer and not bringing my lego stash so this will probably be the last upload until September or so. Again I apologize for the lazy editing, I fiddled with it for far too long and eventually just half-assed it on the last several pics. I hope you like it!

If my mechs get any bigger I'm going to have to find a new photography setup. As it is the lighting is crappy with something this big inside a box that size so the pics didn't turn out well. :(

I returned to my dark bley roots for this one; unfortunately not really out of my comfort zone. With an extra weekend I could have touched up a few areas but at least it somewhat resembles a gorilla.

Friendly Falcon Swooshing!

This picture only took one try, it's not perfect but I was pretty impressed with my swooshing while photographing skills.

Friendly Falcon GARC Racer

Back to back winners of the coveted Sportsmanship Award, Mia and Olivia are always ready for a quick race. Their passive racing style makes it hard for them to gain sponsors, and it doesn't help that they almost always finish dead last. But if you ask them, the only important thing is that you have fun, and maybe make a few friends along the way!"

I had some free time so I threw this together. I've been wanting to make a GARC ship for a few weeks now. It's not as colorful or spectacular as I would have hoped for but oh well.

Various phases throughout the build. This is as close as I will come to making instructions, I hope this will suffice!

I don't know what Mecha Bowser hates more, the fact that it's Mario or the fact that Mario's K'nex

Mecha Bowser

Created for the "Like a Boss" contest of flickr.

Years of battling Mario and Luigi has taken its toll on Bowser; to compensate he constructed this giant mechanical version of himself to do his bidding. Equipped with razor-sharp claws, spikes, and a flamethrower powerful enough to scorch that mustachio right off your face. Stay in your pipe, puny plumber!

This was a fun and challenging build for me; partly due to all the weird angles (especially the shell) and because this is my first build not using almost all dark bley so I was much more limited in my piece collection (and I used just about every yellow brick and slope I own). I hope you guys like it!
