lost info on mech
« on: 23 September 2019, 11:12:05 »
Help I have a mini which I can't seem to find on Iron Wind site.   It looks a lot like a Blade,  BUT  it has a cockpit like a chameleon and has an extended heel on both feet.  It also has a side way B  butt shirt like a Dasher.

THANKS for the HELP

Sorry I don't have camera phone.  The torso are similar the hex shape aka {missile launch style}  but the cockpit does NOT have risers nor a boxed in windscreen in the front {like a ME 109}  but has loops across the top from side to side like a early P 51.  It also has a stub nose with an X on it just in front of and below the cockpit   with a small tube  {small laser?} above the cockpit.  The center torso looks more like a cockpit over a long box with a smaller gondola  under it.   The rear torso is rounded with 6 small circular holes on each side of the rear.
  The legs have hefty lower legs with a box with a slash  on them  in the oppset angle of the Blade  {they point inward not out}  the legs also have the huge calf "muscles"  on both sides of each leg.  the feet  look normal from the front  but  have a extended heel sort of like the heavy gear mechs did.

Not an Enfield or Crimson hawk.   DID Iron Wind by chance make  2 sculpts of this mech???   different cockpit on each???

Did you also peruse the Archives mech section?  There is indeed a second Blade sculpt there.  The description also sounds like the Ghost possibly as well.

Both sculpts of the blade have the boxed in shape of the cockpit.    The mini I have does not, it has more of a teardrop shape and the sliding closer  with  an above semi-circular rib of  most WW II fighters.  Ghost does not have the hex shaped  torsos.

A picture would be really helpful.  But, barring that, let's try a different tack.

What obvious weaponry does it have?  (Or looks like it has?)  What are the arms like?

Also, as I understand the description, the Ghost is the best fit I've come up with so far.

Yup, the Ghost


Or possibly the Valiant


Noting that the DA mini lacks the shield.
