Dis here is Horodris. Treat him real nice and he’ll do the same.
Some points of notes:
I made the neck move on all three axis, if the head looks funny, it probably
because it is at a strange angle.
mucho gearing in the legs. This is what is holding it up basically.

Average height is 2’ tall. Depending on how you articulate the legs, maybe
taller, maybe shorter. Arms are geared at shoulder for rotational axis only.
The rest of the arms uses the newer click/rotation joints.
The hand is good. The fingers I know you seen before, but the thumb rotates as
well as bends, the result is a thumb that can touch all four fingers and can lay
the hand flat. Sweet. I had a really, really hard time capturing the hand,
here’s the shot.

Build time was around 20 hrs total. Horodris demanded to be built, what can I
do about it? But the name was eleusive. This mech was called Project Ogre up
till four hours ago, when upon completion, the name Horodris came in LOUD AND
CLEAR. I really don’t know what Horodris is, it just came to mind. Strike any
bells out there?
Hmmmm, what eles? I tried to capture the detail, if you want more let me know,
I’ll see what I can do. Most pics are small for your viewing convienance, with
one execption this
one. Big and beautiful baby.
There is a cockpit and engine. The red thingys on the back of the shoulders are
supposed to be jet packs. I really didn’t intend the back to look like a face,
but when I looked at it, it fit so I leave it be. With the execption of the
staff, Horodris is a weaponless mech. (GASP) Well, ok, so there was something
there I knew I screwed up. :)
Enjoy folks.

| (...) It's a good mech (if it weren't for the legs, I would be forced to call this one "mecha"). I like how clean it looks - very nice indeed.

| I really like the leg design and gearing. Gears are like muscles for mecha. The more gears, the more powerful the machine (appears to be). The spindly arms could use a gear infusion to beef them up... But I know you haven't made a lot of armed (...) (20 years ago, 26-Nov-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
