|
| (...) 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)

| (...) Hi Eric, Do you have pictures of the inside of the joints? I'm curious about your gearing techniques. Kevin (17 years ago, 29-Dec-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

| (...) Wow! That's a lot of Ball joints. Born on Christmas day...10 pounds 33 inches, splayed ankles and almost studless....(with two turntables and a microphone). You should really consider a microphone next time, and one of those squak-box things (...) (17 years ago, 30-Dec-07, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| (...) 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)
| | | | | Re: Grelnix
|
| (...) 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
|
| (...) 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)

| (...) -snip Lookin good, E ! In answer to your question posed in your last post to me, I gave it a lot of thought, I think the Wraith would be a challenge to build, not sure I'm up to it yet! -Jon (17 years ago, 14-Jan-08, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Grelnix
|
| (...) Hey Jon, thank you checking out the Grelnix. As your collection grows, you'll be making bigger and bigger mechs too! About the Wraith, I checked online and I found a few different ones, so I am not sure which one you mean. Is it this one: (...) (17 years ago, 15-Jan-08, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

I find (URL) this pose> particularly striking, although I wonder if it would look more dynamic with the right arm up a bit higher (is (...) (17 years ago, 21-Jan-08, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
