Welcome to the HeavyMetalPro Forums

When I first saw a pic of Matt Plog's Patriot Mech, my initial thought was "damn, nice looking battle armour", closely followed by "it's a mech? oh"
Honestly, I still think it's an impressive looking battle armour; and this is how I'd build it.

A lot of Plog's drawings look like over sized battle armor...nice reworking and really good load out for this one.
