Do I know what it is? Not really. Does it not matter because it's just that awesome? Totally.

EV Heavy Industries

A UK builder under the flicker username Fateheart has recently been putting out consistently awesome anime-inspired mecha, think mobile suits and vertical tanks.









I love the un-tiled studs. FateHeart's style might look a bit antiquated as we've come accustom to sleek, studless builds, but FH's mecha here prove that you don't need the most advanced techniques to get a cool design across. Kudos, man.

Not that we're hating on Brian's MOCs of course. He has yet to post a build this year, let's hope there's something big in the works.

Lastly, this neo-World War II mech is quite great. Liking the simplicity, it looks like it could be easily mass-produced alongside T34 tanks.



Check him out.

Nathaniel Brill built a Starfighter that may be my favorite MOC in years. While the overall design of the craft reminds me of early fighter jets from the Korean war, what really sells it is that canopy. Complete design win.

Nutcracker Sweet

Cole Blaq kills it again with his latest spaceship. A self-described "Nutcracker" for breaching enemy ships, Cole has an uncanny ability to use pieces in just the right way.

Legos

Sometimes life is just a pain in the royal ass. I am so very angry right now. Fortunately, the internet is full of brilliant MOCs like this bad boy. Mechs with guns are always fun to look at.

Flying Slabs

I don't know where Aaron Williams came out from (he joined flickr early 2010) but his stuff his amazing.


Tony Hafner. Class.

That blue one is my favorite "starfighter" MOC this side of Peter Morris. What has become of the mealy-mouthed?

uh-huh, You Know What It Is

blue and orange, blue and orange.

omg halo legos

Because everyone knows Lego models based on popular video games is a sure-fire way to get page views and geek cred.

MOCpages user Stephen Chao is a Tiawanese Lego builder. Both prolific and skilled, his latest model is based on a design from the acclaimed Halo video game franchise.



Chuck Citrin's "Petrel" light dropship comes to mind; it too was based on art from Halo:


Such SNOT!

Huib Versteeg's represents a Main Battle Tank from the Command and Conquer video games.





shamless pluggin'. sshhhh. from battalion wars.

Also, Ryan Wood is auctioning one of his models to benefit disaster relief efforts in Japan. Follow the links here to view and bid.

Erik, the Flamboyant Fanboi on Idols and Communication

Of Chris Gidden's and Mark Sandlin's designs, respectively. Giddens and the Grand Admiral are some of the older space-head hobbyists, theirs were among big names like Lenny Hoffman, the Ryans Wood and Rubino, Tony Hafner. Back in middle school I didn't have pop-stars or sports heroes to look up to, but there was Dennis Coh and Daniel Jassim and Paul Brassington , Soren, Zhang, Clites, Psiaki, Florea, and too many others to call to mind.

God you're geeky.

Moving on, join us as we continue to pledge fanboism to this new Theo kid, seeing as this is the third recent post featuring his stuff:



His MOC's are well done and colorful, unlike the drab post-RAMM military spewing from most fledgling builders in flickr. Aesthetically quite similar to Tim/Spook's stuff, both the build and the presentation, two areas Tim excelled, perhaps even pioneered some in. Oh yeah, and they both like mechs with tiny feet.

Tim/Spook, Lukas/Gladius, Dale/Unit 186, Otto and Dean were all young teenage builders who exemplified the fact that this wasn't strictly and adult's hobby. I mean, we are working with a children's toy here. Inspired by them, about four years ago I started to put up my own crap and shake off noobishness and kiddiedom.

Parent groups and educators might argue that the internet is a dangerous place for kids, and I agree with them. But if dabbling in an online community that was originally started by pockets of geeky middle-aged men has helped to teach me one thing, it is how and how not to represent yourself in the faceless flustercluck that is the internet.



Damn that's a lot of links. Pleh
