I like in the first picture, the "crab type", where the two guys ride in the open compartments. That's the kind of mech I want!

nice weathering on the bottom one too

Those are excellent. Scratchbuilt I take it?

The last one is the combat armor "Dougram" from the anime
Fang of the Sun Dougram.

Old time Battletech players would know that particular model as the 55 ton Shadowhawk. The 65 ton Thunderbolt also comes from the same series and is called Ironfoot.

So the last one might not be scratchbuilt as Dougram model kits are available. Indeed, I have a few that I bought for Battletech prior to Ral Partha getting the license. (Not in the scale of the above Dougram, but just a bit too big for Battletech hexes.)

The top one is a Crab type from Xabungle (probably 1/144 scale)… like this one (that was slightly converted and didn't use the joint covers):

The second one is a Zaku from Gundam.

Nice work on the shuttle crash.

When I read a post from Tango01 titled "Japan Student Models," I'm not looking for pictures of mecha! :<
