Based upon the unseen Mech design, primarily for scouting and recon. This was a multi-part resin kit, based upon a scratchbuilt Mech. The N-scale community demanded copies, so the creator got his scratchbuilt custom Locust casted - and I was happy to obtain two of them.
Armed with only a Martel Medium Laser and two Sperry-Browning MGs, it cannot withstand any other Mech for a long time, but that's not its purpose in the first place.
I based the Locust on some rocky surface to increase the height slightly.
I wanted a striding pose, just as in the old FASA artwork of the TRO 3025.
The Locust is currently the smallest Mech used within the Inner Sphere. A tiny, filigrane little BattleMech - I just love that thing.
Very very nice.
ReplyDeleteVery nice looking Mech, well done.
ReplyDeleteA locust!
ReplyDeleteOne of my all-time favourite Mechs!
Nice color-scheme and accurate paintjob.
Came out great, I have a copy as well but it's in really rough shape. Did you have to do a ton of clean up work to get yours like this?
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering if maybe I just got a really bad cast.
@Mech dude: No, the cast is as good as the master was. The master was a kit-bash made of Mechwarrior Dark Age parts from which they made copies. There was plenty of cleaning involved and it still could be a lot better. Well, I got another one (for Kurita), we'll see how this one turns out.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to confirm that this mini is N-scale. Also, I know this is an old post, but is there any chance I can find info on this still? I scoured the internet looking for any trace of it and came up empty handed. Any help would be much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteI don't know. I do not believe that there are any further copies of it apart from those that were sold years ago.
