Battlemech redesign - The Lancelot

Heya, sorry it's been a while since I've updated the blog, just been busy the last couple of weeks and I haven't had the time to post. 

In the mean time I thought I'd take a whack at redesigning the Lancelot 'Mech from Battletech, a 'Mech who's loadout has always been to my liking, but the original TRO design just didn't do anything for me.

The original design...  

My redesign... My apologies for it not being a high-res scan and only a photo, my computer crapped out on me this week. I'll try to upload a scan of the deign as soon as possible. 

On this redesign I tried to keep the general slim proportions, while making sure the 'Mech could actually move. (Just look at the legs on the original... See any viable joints in those legs, save for the hip joints?) 

To illustrate this, I've drawn out the movement possible in each leg joint. Full movement is only available at the hip, while the knee and ankle joints remain completely stale. Unless the armor plating moves with the joints, the 'Mech won't be able to move in it's original TRO incarnation. (Which doesn't quite feal feasable at the ankle joint.)




That's all for now, but I am working on the Zaku II from Mobile Suit Gundam:Thunderbolt, so I should have that to show off soon^TM.
