Description
Yeah my first mecha like MOC xDI got inspired by another MOCer on this site and I had to try it out to build one by myself xD
His name KOZN (=Keosin) is intended to be a pun on Kerosin, due to his plane like look ^^
I don't really know anything about mecha MOCs so could anyone who reads this give me some tutoring xD

The legs would really help ^^"
They are one of my main problems. I'm always good with bodys and heads, but I lack on the other parts. For the hands, I already identified the techniques you used on your MOCs, I just didn't wanted to copy you, especially the hands on your stealth hunter are quite unique! I haven't seen that technique yet, but it looks really good in proportions.
So, it would me nice if you could give me some help on the constructing of legs

The problem with the legs is that they are thin, but there is lack of movement because of the weight.
Still, I'm not uploading for a couple of days. I'm really busy with important stuff.

I've got a new better one: [link]
And another smaller one: [link]
It would be nice if you could take a look at them ^^

I've seen them. They are nice, but I kinda hesitate from the first one.

the colors are alright, (personally i'm not a fan of white + green, maybe it's the addition of trans yellow/green...)
maybe add some neutral colors in it (i.e. grey, bley, etc.)
anywho...
the midsection has some great shaping to it
and some interesting parts usage for the chest cavity
while the legs look nice, it looks like you skimped out on the arms...
i'm not going to say anything else on the "hands"...
feet: passable by my book (it can stand)
overall, it's a great first moc!
i know i'm a little tough, but that's how you learn...
π: 0 β©: 1
No no, you're totally right with what you say
The hands are really anything but good xD I wanted the arms to be thin, but they look bad compared to the whole other details ... Just out of interest; do you take your Mechs apart after they are finiched in order to reuse the parts or do you keep them as they are? I normaly keep my bionicle MOCs as they are, but I just don't have that much normal lego parts which I could use for mechs xD
Oh, and thanks for your competend comment of course ^^
π: 0 β©: 1
i do, but not before i take a few good pics of it
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm currently try to work on a new one, without taking the old one apart; I'm gonna tell ya when I'm done ^^

Daaaaaang.......
Does it transform, It looks like it transforms -Nod nod-
π: 0 β©: 1
No, it doesn't transform ^^"
that would have been way to difficult and if it could, I would have said so and at least showed some pics xD

True....
AWESOME CREATION THOUGH!
π: 0 β©: 1
I really didn't know what to expect from you when you said you were gonna do a system Mech. This is pretty good, but sadly this is typical of the stuff I've seen in system Mechs. Its common to see "omg that's awesome" in system. So many people do so many things with system that awesome is dime a dozen. But for a first this is really good. I see you've also got a healthy supply of regular lego to. Hmmmmmm I may just have to clean up the bionicles and dump out the system parts and see what I can whip up.
π: 0 β©: 1
I tried to make a 'regular' system mech xD
I could have been more creative with structure, but because I have no experience with them I wanted to try something simple
π: 0 β©: 1
no no no. You misunderstand. You were really creative with the structure and you did a great job. I'm saying that as a MOC all on its own its really good, really impressive. But because a lot of people do Mechs in fact Mechs are so overdone that this otherwise great MOC is dime a dozen.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, now i get what you mean
Sorry, still sometimes happens to me because of the different language ^^"
Overdone? A little bit, but I still think they look amazing
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah.
Its alright. You do pretty well to write in English. Do you write it better than you can speak it or is it the other way around?
Yes, but still they're everywhere.
π: 0 β©: 1
My writing is better, because I'm reading more english than I'm listening to it ^^
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah I see. Well then its good that we write to each other. You could at last talk to me a bit in my language. I just know how to say hello in german. ^^.
π: 0 β©: 1
Hey, out of interest; how does german language sound to you? I heard that foreigners think our language sounds a bit hard and rude
And something else, do you know anything popular coming from our country? Like bands, films or something else?
Man, it's interesting to talk about german culture with some from another country xD
π: 0 β©: 1
It does. Yes. Its weird to speak compared to other languages. Germans speak with....gusto, really strong and stern. In all honesty If I had to pick a language to learn German would be pretty low on my list. I want to learn italian though. I love hearing it and speaking what little I know.
I know of the band Rammstein. They're really popular over here. Tokio Hotel is another band that has had some international success over here. Being mostly into music bands and music would be what I know of most. I'm sure there's some famous films from german and other stuff but I don't know. There's a style of music called House music that I think is from germany. BUt you're also famous for your beer. I'd love to try many german beers. It is really fun talking about culture with foreigners. I would very much love to come to Germany and Experience the culture there. Plus meeting you and sharing our MOCs would be amazing. I could skip seeing land marks and tourist attractions, I'd rather hang out with a good friend and get the insider's guide to German culture. ^^
π: 0 β©: 1
Nah, I thought so >.>"
Sometimes I don't even like my language for those reasons xD
Yeah, I knew about Rammstein and Tokio Hotel, thought I'm not really proud of Tokio Hotel -.-
Most of the guys in our country don't like them, but the younger girl love them ... I also knew about the house style xD There are even some songs I really like myself ^^
But if you ask me what german rock is, there always comes one band upon my mind: 'Die Γrzte'
These guys make good german rock, sadly they never got popular in other countrys ^^" Here's a song:[link]
Beer ... I knew we're famous and we have a whole lot of different ones, but I'm not drinking anything, I don't like it ^^"
I'd sure show you some great things xD
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah. Its all the consonants you guys use in your language. Like this band down here Die Artze' 
This is more alternative rock, its got a bit of a punk influence to. It was food though and the video made me laugh. The band got eaten by zombies.
I know. I could probably destroy my liver trying all the different kinds. I'm not like a normal american guy who drinks cheap beer just to get drunk like the stereotype goes. I like good beer for flavor.
I bet. But I'd be happiest just hanging out with you and sharing. Plus we'd have to collaborate on a bionicle MOC and make it crazy epic.

Interesting to see some experimenting with System parts... but please don't be sucked into that realm like ~retinence did - we don't want to lose you xD

Eehhhhhh that guy's an arsshole. Good riddance. 
*darth vader voice* Come to the dark side Aidan...we have free donutes on Wednesdays and fridays is taco night.

Hm... sounds interesting. One of the 8 HF-Titans I've planned was something similar, based around rocks and minerals and whatnot. Yours has had a lot more thought put into it, it seems xD
No, you can't be my father! I-- ... wait, doughnuts? I'm in!
π: 0 β©: 2
Neat-o. Yeah mine's been in my head for quite some time. You know those rock pieces, where they're once piece? It was basically a lot of that kind of rock structure, but shaped into a rock monster So there would bee to be a lot of 1X1 bricks and smaller bricks all stacked on each other. The other thing was that the bionicle/technic pieces would be yellow as if he found a construction site and said "ooooooo this big piece of machinery would be nice to have and ripped apart a crane or something. So one of his arms would be the boom from a crane, giving him "stretch" or "reaching" ability.

Oh good, our ideas are different - that way no-one would think we've copied off eachother xD My Golem idea is a bit more natural, sort of like a hunk of rock that has just been brought to life (remember that analogy... it will be importnat 
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah I see. That'd be cool. Can't wait to see this guy. They are similar ideas, but I don't think I'll be doing mine for a while, if ever.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I'm not likely to do mine for a while. Considering how long it takes me to make larger MOCs, and taking in the fact that he's not even top of the list (of the remaining 7, he's number 5), it'll probably be in late 2012
π: 0 β©: 1
Damn! That's quite a while. Well I've found that I can make better MOCs quicker now. It took me about a week to do atlas and that was a little while ago, I could probably cook up something alright in a week. But Its when I come back to my MOCs after a while and go "you know, this could be better" is when they get as good as the older stuff. Then I look back on them and thing "wow they were pretty different then."
π: 0 β©: 1
Evidently your building speed is much higher than mine
π: 0 β©: 1
It wasn't always like that. I'll probably do revamps on Shuilong down the road and she'll be even more awesome. WIth the way I do my MOCs its hard to give an accurate description of how long it takes. I don't build it and its done. I build it sits there for months maybe a year then I work on it again. How do you clock that?
π: 0 β©: 1
...hm, I guess a year beats mine xD
Here's a timeline of a typical MOC:
1. Concept (indeterminate time)
2. Development by thinking (varies between spur-of-the-moment and months of bus trips)
3. Experimentation with the scrap box (few days, usually)
4. Actual building (anywhere between an hour and a few months xD)
5. Finishing touches (a few days)
6. deviantArt time!
π: 0 β©: 1
FUCK!!!! 
π: 0 β©: 1
xD Unfortuneately I don't have time to just empty the box and hope I make something nice xD If I don't have something in mind, I won't get anything done. How annoying.
π: 0 β©: 1
Why not? How freakin busy are you?
π: 0 β©: 1
Unlike you I have fancy exams coming up, and mountains of homework for it xD
π: 0 β©: 1
ahhh I see. Well when does break come up?
π: 0 β©: 1
Study Leave starts in mid May, but then there are the proper exams interspersed in there for a few weeks. Generally, MOCing is spared for the odd day when I have an hour or so free
π: 0 β©: 1
Study leave? Man they expect time away from school to be about school to? Harsh!. That really sucks man, just an hour here and there? I'd think that you'd at least have the weekends.
π: 0 β©: 1
Nah, teachers have the theory that no school means enough homework to make it feel like school. Well, that's British private schools for ya
π: 0 β©: 1
AHAHA I see. Yeah teachers over here generally know that students ain't gonna do shit over the break so they don't bother, or at least mine never did.
π: 0 β©: 1
Typical British school system vs. Typical American school system 
π: 0 β©: 1
*Typical American school system Dies after one punch* You don't go to a typical british school system though. You're privately taught and I'm sure there's a difference. If going from privet to public is like it is here you'd probably wet yourself with how different and "lower quality" it is. You're not all stuck up and pretentious are you?
π: 0 β©: 1
Fine - 'typical British school' in the sense of the ones from the movies, where all the teachers are strict and whatnot xD But not as extreme... I don't know.
I try to speak on here as I do in real life, so... you be the judge
π: 0 β©: 1
XD I dunno either.
Hmmmmm I think...maybe just a little bit. You do come from a family of means. But you seem to appreciate the fact that not everyone else has what you've got. I think the only thing that makes me think you're kinda stuck up is when you say you can't be bothered with something. It comes off as "My time is too important for this." But you don't have a whole lot of time apparently so that's a good reason.
