Orko_one Nightwolf

So a package was a waiting me when I got home today.
The newest N-scale (10mm) mecha model.  Inspired by the Battletech artwork of the same name.

It's a big boy.  Don't even need to start unpacking and I can see that.
So I grab two close  15mm figures.  
Earthforce marines I have based on a wooden 30mm circle
Neo-Soviet fighter based on a 20mm US penny
Let's start the review.
It's a 5 piece model so assemble is easy.
The arms feature a ball joint to allow easy and simple options of positions.
Other than that the model is static.  But it's pose is anything but.  It's in a walking stride that will allow it a sense of speed to bring death to your battlefield.





The legs are in one piece.  That makes it easier to assemble the model but limits the possibility of the figure.  The details are great. I don't for see any complaints about the foot size on this model.

How does it size up to other 10mm models?  I have one handy.  let's use the MadCat IIe sculpted by Orko_one (one of my 1st blog posts. Shameless plug)
Did I say it will be big?






No shortage of detail here either.  
They are some big armored arms.  Big arms, big firepower.  They dwarf the 15mm figures.







A wide selection of pictures for you to see the details in the torso section.
The cockpit would be very tight fit for 15mm pilot.  

Then there is the 'little' gun to put on the top of the model.



A nice energy or plasma weapon to encourage carnage to those that dare not run from the field of battle.
Again to give you a sense of size of this model.



Now.  
How does it fair assembled?
Since Orko_one only posted a few shots of it unfinished

I present



It's mean it's wicked.

edit update: I've seen a few assembled and primed.  But this is the only one I've seen painted.
Painted by Spaceman Spiff so naturally there is a few modifications to the base model.  Personally I love seeing what he does with models.  It's not that hard to mod and change them a little, just I haven't gotten my own to look as nice as his yet.
