Thanks to everybody who replied on
Stormwalker. It gave a
strong motivation to me getting such constructive critics.
They brought me to rethink the design which resulted in some modifications. The
overall result I’d like to share.
So this is Stormwalker MKII
The Greatest benefit I took from Mark’s statement that the feet were to small
and so the cause of many of my problems. I never had tried bigger feet but the
original ones definetly were too small. The new ones are much better.
Thus I had more stability I could solve the second problem: too small weapons
(although I thought they weren’t that small). You were right they were! I didn’t
want to bulk up the body cause I really like the shape. But with the modified
weapons it looks much heavier.
I also managed to get the hips tighter by two studs not much but it helps.
Last but not least I added some pictures showing dismantling for transport.
Looks a bit like at the butcher’s...
Thanks again
Marco

They have a cool shape and match the body scheme well. An idea I wanted to share. I, and others have (...) (20 years ago, 19-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| Wow, that looks so much better Marco. The whole feel and balance is great. Big kudos on showing the dismantled pic. Almost noone thinks of it but a big issue if you ever want to transport your creation. Cool man. Mark (20 years ago, 20-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
