Whoa man I didn’t see this before our recent discussion. I am absolutely
gobsmacked - although gobsmackedness doesn’t seem to have as wierd an effect on
me as it does on Eric ;)

Finally! This mecha took way too long to complete. I started it after
Christmas, and only got it done yesterday. I guess age slows you down. Heh.
:-p
|
Hah you’re still miles ahead of me when it comes to build speed. One question is
where does one start on a model like that. The hips? A single leg?
| |
Anyways, this mobile platform is similar in some ways to my
MTP, which I did all the way
back in 2003. However, there are references to my other mobile platforms, as
well.
|
It’s funny you say that as even though I can see a lot of similarities (lets
call them Mladen design trademarks ;)) I also noted a bunch of new concepts. Or
concepts that were more refined.
| |
I should also mention that this mecha is quite stable. In fact, after the MDP
and MWP, it is one of the most stable MPs I’ve ever built. Even on slick
surfaces it does not collapse. Ironically however, if I lift it up, the
middle leg joints pull themselves apart and the legs dangle. Oh well. :-)
|
So I came to the right man for joint advice then ;)
As I said, fantastic job man. I have hopes to build such a behemoth one day too
;)
