Ok so I know this has been done before, but I'm playing an Armorer Artificer with an Iron Man like feel and am looking to eventually build a giant sized mech to deal with a massive BBEG Ancient Dragon coming up. The enemy will be Gargantuan so I'm looking to make this armor at least Large sized. My DM said he'd allow it since there is a good amount of time between now and the actual confrontation (we've got several more quests and downtime to go so everyone is gearing up), but he said I'd have to be very specific in terms of how it's built.
Given I don't have an engineering degree and he's asking for more than just I build this and that so we can put together an actual stat block, does anyone have any advice on how I could suggest this thing get built. Thinking I'd need a power source to fuel it, enough material and space to build it up, weapon attachments obviously. Gold is not so much an issue as we've got dwarves allies who owe us a favor for saving their forge, so assume we can build whatever you suggest.
So please share your fictional know how on what we'd need to do to build this thing. Any actual stat blocks would be cool too!

Have you looked at the Apparatus of Kwalish? It is a legendary item (basically a vehicle) from the DMG.
