| | | | | | (...) Hey Kevin, nice to hear from you! Happy New Year. After I published pictures of the Grelnix to Brickshelf, I went to your Inchworm 3 and 4 galleries then stared at the pictures trying to figure out how you made them work! More, on that later, (...)

| | | | | | (...) Hi Dave! I tried to maintain a smooth look through out the build. Using as many rounded slopes as I could. The obscure parts like the tow truck hitches were some of the first parts I played around with to come up with the look. Thanks for (...) (17 years ago, 30-Dec-07, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| | | | | (...) Thank's for shareing Eric, I'm happy you restarted building! The Grelnix seems to me the perfect symbiosis of Rizmit (my alltime Fav up to now) and the Beesh. But there are some things which are much better as with those two: The proportions (...) (17 years ago, 29-Dec-07, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) Season's Greetings Marco! (...) The Rizmit was always meant to be cartoony and it made use of those kinds of proportions for 'its' looks. The Beeesh to me, was meant to look and be like a little gremlin. The Grelnix was designed to fit (...) (17 years ago, 30-Dec-07, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| | | | | | | Re: Grelnix —Eric Sophie
|
| | | | | | (...) Hi Kevin! I used a combination of techniques. I don't have many pictures of the joints per se. They are mostly hidden and covered. Although, these are much of the same techniques I have preached for years. I'll describe some here now: (...) (17 years ago, 31-Dec-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
