My 17 inch tall mech build, the "Mächtig Jaeger," have been posted on the PittBrickyard YouTube Channel. I came up with this name because the build reminds me of a powerful Pacific Rim style "jaeger" mech. The idea behind this one was to do a large format mech with dark blue ("Earth Blue" in official LEGO color parlance) and orange colors. The challenge at this scale is to prevent it from collapsing under its own weight. I ended up completely rebuilding it, including redesigning the feet after an initial test build proved too flimsy. It stands well now and without support. However, because a push can send it toppling over, I have built a support display stand that can sit behind it and help prevent it from falling over when displayed for long periods (and to hopefully guard against it pitching over off my display shelf in the next California earthquake!). Check out the video for a full tour.
