So yesterday i had to lend my computer to joel due to a long story, but it was a willing decision and it wasn't his fault. I so decided to go play Lego. I was playing it intermittently already these few days, ever since computer games got steadily boring. I was reminded of Lego when i was packing it up in my room a few days ago. Yesterday a brainwave hit me, to stop trying to make some mech and start building a four-legged killing machine. I must now proclaim, Gleat Success!

Here is prototype #1, a spindly creature whose joints cannot hold the weight of the central body. the hatch can actually contain a figure. Armed only with one dual gun.
thought it would look cool with a pipe sticking out of it, just like cool chainguns do.

The legs were too small for me, so i decided to rebuild it. Here is the second prototype, much bigger and completed only at around 9pm. From 4, mind you. The legs look much cooler, wouldn't you say? Its now got four cannons.

Side view of the creature. here you can see two turret pods.
Overturned, bottom view of the creature. all four legs have got a pipe leading to the body.
Well, i think i will need to let joel use my computer again today, whether or not this will be, i'm sure to return to rebuilding the hulk of a monster. Imho, (not really humble lah) this creation is fantastic. It usually takes me three tries to get my Lego creation up to satisfaction, and had i not been down with a cold yesterday, i would have been up till eleven fixing this beauty. Please tell me of your opinion.
