The Hatchetman was not my first choice of which mech would be done next. I always thought of it as a novelty in a game that is largely based on fire power. But more people have replied in our survey that they would like to see the Hatchetman next.
One of the prime concerns with the Hatchetman is how thin various parts are. The legs will have to be "beefed-up" a bit to keep it from being a canidate to warping on hot days. And I'm not sure yet what to do about the shaft of the hatchet. In scale it would be about 3/32" by 3/16", which is far too thin. Another thing is the arms, as designed would foul on the hips, so I'll have to play with that angle.
The drawings for the Hatchetman that I'm currently working on can be seen below. I'll try to update them as I go so changes stay current.
