Hi folks, I thought that making a (URL) with no arms and legs> was a bit of a cheat, so I've tried to follow up with a 'proper' one. I'm amazed at how difficult it was to get something jointed that can stand up and hold poses properly. All the cool (...) (21 years ago, 16-Aug-03, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX) !

From what i see it looks to be a very nice looking mecha. For some reason the leg looks like something from the anime series "Blue Gender" as the "wheels" on the feet are reminiscent of the armored trikes on the show. Can't wait to see the whole (...)

(...) dude, nice job! in spite of all the ideas you got from other mecha styles, this one amalgam seems to be one of the most original as a whole. you did an excellent job on the anke joints which happen to be, in my opinion, the most imporant part (...)

I've been building mecha for a couple months now, and I know what you mean. It's difficult to get leg joints that can support the weight of a full-torso mech. You did a great job and I'm impressed how far down you've gotten the knee is some of those (...) (21 years ago, 18-Aug-03, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) Thanks! I'm pretty satisified with the end result - not bad for "my first mecha-with-legs", at least. I've been looking at some of the excellent posable skeletons on Brickshelf and that looks like a tempting direction to head in, although it (...) (21 years ago, 18-Aug-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)
