Hello, it’s me again.

Here are some pictures of my progress and the upper body.


   
   
   

Here is the gallery after moderation.

I already ran into weight problems. The ball joints in the lower body don’t
support the weight anymore. I’ll replace them with gears. This means a
complete rebuild of the lower body. Hopefully it’ll fit the original shape
a bit more afterwards.

The upper body is still in a conceptional state. Maybe it’ll look very
different next time.

Marco

Last night I had a dream...

Not what you might think, it was of a small robot.

So this morning I gave it a good hour. And this is the result so far:


   
   

So now I’m thinking what to do. Should I maybe refine the small one or
should I work further on the medium I first started with.

We’ll see
Marco

Wow. This is definitely my favourite so far.

Very cool!

Marco,

This is a gem of a build. I love the color pattern, the compactness of the Mecha and the brillance of the pneumatic t pieces are joints.

What more can be refined? Your done!

Thanks for the roses, but this is quite common. I saw it many times before,
and now even TLC is using this technique in the viking set with the wolf.
(BTW, excellent resource for 9 t pieces puls 9 droid arms per set!)

I’m not quite satisfied with the rocket launcher.

There is still a medium size implementation I’m working on.
At the moment I try to upsize the joint tech used here to this bigger MOC.

Here is my progress report.

I’m still working on a medium size mecha. The leg joints have been totally
redesigend again. I also worked on the upper body and the weapons.


   
   

More pics after moderation

I’m still not done. And what’s worse: I’m still not satisfied with the overall
look!


It’s gonna be a hard weekend
Marco
