Hi guys! I've just managed to build a Locust mech using a correction tape dispenser, 2 disposable dental floss dispensers and lots of plastic rods and bits:
Would you like to know more?

Nice! I loved the Locust cause it was so fast. Couldn't take a hit, but it could run for sure. |

Ha yes..was there a battletech novel about Locust mech pilots? Anyone read before? |

That's a great scratchbuild!
I've wanted to scratch a 28mm Cicada for years, but other projects keep pushing that one to the background. |

The first Grey Death Legion book featured a Locust on the cover, one of the main characters (Lori) piloted it. Kit bash looks great, I always liked the Locust over the jumpy-20 tonners (like the Wasp and Stinger). Chalfant |

Fantastic! Where can I buy it!
Wasp, Stinger, Locust, I really liked all the light Mechs.

Way cool! Wasn't there a triple laser refit available? |
| BigNickR | 15 Mar 2014 8:44 a.m. PST |
Wow… How much would you charge to trashbash up one of these? |
| Amalric | 15 Mar 2014 10:41 a.m. PST |
Awesome!
I look forward to it painted up and in action. Thanks for posting. |

Hi guys thanks for being gentle haaa…I don't think I will sell them but I intent to build at least one more…I somehow have plans to play large scale battletech with them! |

Lovely scratchbuild. One of my favorite Mechs! |
| frankietanch | 22 Mar 2014 3:38 a.m. PST |
The Locust is finally painted !
I used the Macross Glaug / Robotech Officer Battlepod scheme but I guess the desert / urban camo is nice too! Would you like to know more? link |
