Not very O&M but since I named this wooden sculpture after our gray butt Ozy, I thought that I might as well show you all the final glazed finished version.
Placed on my keyboard for scale reference. This is Ozymandias, named after our fox and poem. Painted in his colors as well. Made of wood and a few nails and lots and lots and lots of glue.

1: You have the
same exact speakers that I have
2: Looks good to me
I'm not a big walker fan though. Seems like you just take out a leg and bye bye mech.

It almost looks like a cross between a Vulture and the Clan Kitfox. Hm...

The design subject was line. So I made it that way. I also made it that way because I wanted that design challenge of getting it to stand.
It is a missile mech called the Trebuchet repainted and renamed to Ozymandias, it is tall and thin. Doesn't need armor since it would be so far from frontlines and such. And good eye code cat, my little DC inclusion was deliberate. And no, my mech has had no references from MW.

You went for the classic "chicken-leg" bi-pedal walker design, kudos dude!
Also, I notice the Hitchhiker's Guide book back there...more kudos!

More like a dog's legs. It has digitigrade legs, good for agility. And yes I do have that book

Originality is Dictator. I draw no references from the obvious. For all you know I could've gotten some inspiration from a stapler and an F-14.

Looks more like a desk lamp and a can opener.

HHGttG? Voice Recognition thingie (I never got mine to work well even with all the training)? Cup with writing utensils? If my desk were cleaner it would be nearly my setup too ~_~, except for the voice thing, got rid of that awhile ago. And the book, I gave that back to my friend...
so I guess there's nothing really much in common past the basics
also they're "reverse articulated legs"

Very nice Donnie! The detail work you put in makes it look very cool.
