Heissan everyone!

My newest 'Mech plushie project is a gift for our great Community Manager, the Garth. As the title says, it will be the Cicada 2A. It's one of my favorite 'Mechs so it's very fun to make. I will post new pictures every time I get new parts done. I will add the first pictures in this message.

I don't have much experience of 'Mech plushies yet, this is my second one. I will make more in the future for sure. What would be more fun than making 'Mech plushies while listening to MechWarrior soundtracks? The first plushie I made (the Jenner D) can be found from here: http://mwomercs.com/...nner-d-plushie/

I probably break all the plushie making rules (if there is any) but it's okay, right? So what I actually do when I'm making a 'Mech plushie is that I first build it out of draft paper. I just start cutting draft paper and it ends up looking like the 'Mech I'm trying to make. After I have made all the patterns that are needed and after they look perfect I will start working on fabrics. Then the 'Mech will get it's final, fabric form and then it can be called a plushie.

I hope you guys like it!

What happend with the membership at the Killer bees?

But now my sweetest evil twin to your plushie! I love it so far, its remarkable that you have serious progress in the fabrication of that tiny things compared to your Jenner. Can`t wait to see my highlander

Except from this. MOVE YOUR BUTT back in your mechseat asap (Hope the PC is already repaired), I really miss the bloody massacre dates with you ;-)

Hope to see you back soon!

The less evil twin Ywan

Unfortunately the Killer Bees has been inactive for over 6 months now. I already knew some of the Omens and my old crew moved there with me so I think it was a right decision. I still haven't got my desktop back but I will hopefully get it back next week. I'll see you then! :3

I'm guessing it's Intelligence Quotient Fish Let's Play. Yes, that's it.

I like scuba diving

Yea, my nick literally is the name of a scuba diving brand. I looked around in my room, desperately trying to find a name for me and I saw my diving stuff laying around, so I took that name.

LP is because i wanted to make Lets Plays of MWO, but I realized I'm about as funny as brick, so I never did anything like that.

You can guess where all the artistic talent in this family has gone, all I can do is this:



You see, it's a mad cat? The cat... is mad. There's eyebrows and stuff.

IqfishLP, that's probably one of the greatest stories behind a pilot name I have ever heard

Oh but Poppaukko, can't you see that Mac Cat is a masterpiece?

Thank you Mighty Spike and GrandLocomon, I'm glad you like it! More parts will be made today.

[BlueFly17]

Definitely keeping an eye on this thread. Looks great, and your pattern making technique already gives me ideas.

[Yawn]

Thank you BlueFly17!

---------------------

I made some new parts yesterday and today. Remember that this is made out of draft paper which is not meant for building things like this so it doesn't look as good as it will look when it gets it's fabric form. Those are just the patterns so I can see what I need to fix before I start making the real plushie :3

[RotS Targe]

[Iqfish]

Can you make a 1 meter big Atlas for me? I would give my soul for that o:

[Ywan]

My Highlander is already ordered since a long time, but the lady should have more time to kill us then making plushies for us the next years ;-)
In this State of work the little cicada looks a bit as she will be ill as a dog and have to struggle not messing up her feet.
