Description The finished product!



The Kanyi-Korp Mecha model 01 was the first model of Mecha built for the Kanyikian armed forces.  It was relatively small, measuring just 8.7 meters tall, and having a body just large enough to contain the pilot at the controls.

It had internal armament in the form of 2 waist-mounted 20-mm Gatling guns, and a head-mounted pair of 12.7-mm machine guns.

Only intended for urban and close-combat, the Mecha 01 sported an armament of one arm-mounted (shortened) 120-mm gun with ammo drum, and a missile-shield containing up to 12 short-range radar-guided anti-air missiles.

The Kanyi-Korp werewolf pilots and the shik infantry of the Kanyikian Armed forces, due the feature of the shield and the "top heavy" design, nicknamed the KKMM 01 as"Shieldmaiden"

Thanks!

I was looking for something that would work both in urban environments and in outdoors surroundings, this digital camo seems to do the trick for both. :3

Thank you! ^_^

I needed something that could work just as well in an urban environment as in a natural one, so I went for the obvious. XD

To be perfectly honest, I have a feeling that hand should be replaced by higher caliber gun. It looks a bit off. I understand that it may be for example only this model that have a gun mounted there, but I'm pretty sure that it would be cheaper anyway to make whole arm detachable and replaced than bother with complicated hand with every mech.

The hands are there for reasons.  During one of the most famous mecha-battles of the Kanyikian guard, one of the Kanyikian mecha pilots used the hands of his mecha, after he had run out of gun ammo, to grab the enemy tanks and rip the turrets off their body.  In one case, he even grabbed one tank by the barrel and flung it through the air like some kind of shot-put projectile.

The hands are also used to replace the ammo drum on the 120-mm gun.  Usually these guns are prepared as gunpacks prior to battle, but occasionally mech-pilots reload guns during the middle of combat.

Well, to be honest, I still think he would have better chances if his military wouldn't pay for systems that are complicated and place two mechs instead of one on the battlefield. I mean, I know I'm a total ass right now, but if WWII taught as anything, then it's that cheap and acceptable is always better than expensive and amazing.

I mean, a gun that can be taken from a mech and needs complicated reloading is a bit like that Soviet mobile artillery that in order to be reloaded one of the crewmen had to leave and do it on the outside.
