NEW MOC ALERT - Type Axiom - Unit BloodCross
Type Axiom is the fruit of combining key ideas from Type Abysuss (cone shaped arms and head design) and Type Astro (chest cockpit and knee systems). On top of that, a new ankle design is implemented by simulating human body. After all, I want to design mecha that has limits of movement just like human.
I am really inspired by a mecha art created by Marcin Rubinkowski. The beautiful design has a very strong use of white and red with black as decorative colour, which resonates an atmosphere of mechanistic religion in the future.
Back to the articulation. The shoulders are re constructed to coordinate with the scale of the updated backpack design, which is fully built in instead of the attaching system. By doing so, the entire body looks more completely and human.
Last but not least, the midsection. It took me a while to figure out the balance between flexibility and decent scale. The outcome is flexible but not as bendable as really spine, otherwise, the mech would not stand very well.
Overall, I am very happy about Type Axiom. It is getting closer to my idea of what a good looking and playable size Lego mech would look like.
