The Harper Heavy Mech-Rob Harper Memorial Sculpt

Rob Harper was one of the hosts of a podcast I loved, called Mobile Armor Radio ( https://www.youtube.com/@mobilearmorradio )

In the spring of 2025, he announced that he was fighting cancer, but things were under control.
In the fall of 2025, things took a turn for the worse, and he started to raise funds to seek more advanced treatment.

I started sculpting the Harper Heavy Mech as a way of helping, but Rob passed before I could finish the build.

I will spare you the normal salemanship hooyah and hype, and just ask that you Remember Rob when you print and build these mechs. This was his favourite (note the Canadian spelling) configuration of mech, and he got to see the preliminary sculpt before he passed, so I hope he's up there, enjoying folks' builds of the armor made in his name.

So, you've got a choice of three types of main guns that can be mixed and matched on the long weapon arms.

An autocannon for the dorsal mount.

Four optional sensor faceplates that can be used for a variety of sub-genres.

Optional rocket nozzles that mount to the rear of the legs.

Optional feet for different poses.

200mm base for FDM printing.

Zipped PDF instructions.

I printed out the test model in 1/100th scale (15mm Tabletop) by reducing the pre-supported files to 56% of their original size without making any changes or having to re-support. Something to keep in mind if you want to save time, resin, and game at a smaller scale.

I encourage you to go through the archived Mobile Armor Radio shows at the link above. Enjoy the interactions with Bryan and Chopper, and love Rob had for the genre. Mr. Harper was a good guy.

Best,
John Bear Ross

P.S. Rob Harper's obituary (

Here's that donation link, if you're so inclined. Thanks.
