Lego World War Robot

I've been a fan of Ashley Wood's artwork for some time now, and have been fortunate enough to receive one of 3A's toys as a gift.

Tintin Bertie
"Ashley Wood's Bertie robot with coloring from Tintin's rocket in 'Explorers To the Moon'."

There is a lot of good things happening on Angus MacLane's recreation of a "Bertie"-series robot from the WWR universe. The colors are fun and the equipment packs are a great touch, though I cannot say I'm sold on the finger technique. A Bertie toy as produced by 3A:


CubeDude Bertie 5

This is another depiction of Bertie by MacLane, of the Cube Dude fad.

Bertie Mk XXI

Lastly, I have made a Bertie and Square more or less to minifigure scale. In Wood's illustrations the robots were never drawn to a consistent scale, and minifigure scale will forever be that odd, undefined practice, so take it.

A minifigure robot is really cute. I also love having this when i was young, and for sure kids will also love to have this in their pocket and play with it all day long.

Jacob
Occasional driving force of the blog, self-proclaimed Lukas fanboy, and aspiring engineer, Jacob spends too much time building LEGO, not enough time practicing piano, and not nearly enough time doing school. He also enjoys long sentences. In the instance of blogging, he believes in quantity over quality, wherever quantity can be maintained.
Mike
One of the cofounders of YSAB, and the founder of YSA, Observing Mike actually being productive is a rare occasion. Mike enjoys making outlandish claims in relation to actually building, pretending he's actually sorting his collection, and making excuses for why he hasn't photographed his MOCs. In his free time he enjoys learning CSS from Spook, photography and poking badgers with spoons.
Dean
Occasional builder, occasional blogger, and full-time procrastinator. That's really the only way to describe Dean. He rarely gets anything done, but is a very active lurker. He's probably seen and liked your MOC, but just forgot he had a blog.
Erik
Erik is still a teenager.
Lukas
Lukas is tall, blond, mildly OCD, and doesn't build nearly enough as he would like to, thanks to school. He has a webpage.
Spook (Tim)
The resident codemonkey and graphics person. If something isn't working correctly, it's probably his fault. Fitting to his name, he doesn't post often, but someone has to do this stuff too, right? Spook does build with laygoes, and has his own blog as well.
