(...) Hmmmmmm...this may not be a bad thing. It might finally be the kick in the butt necessary to get Lego to wake up and release more modern sets, and get past their anti-violence fears. At some point they simply have to go ahead and do it.. (...) (21 years ago, 6-Jun-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.build.military)

Hi, This is a small mech I made some months ago and only now got the chance to photograph (new digicam - woohoo!).

(...) Yep, but to get the joint strength, you'll need to re-inforce the sides of the cylinder brick. Solution: switch to an r2-d2 body instead like so: (2 URLs) This way, not only do you have your joint, but you have SNOT wherever you need it. It's (...)

(...) Jeff, that's pretty cool. I wonder what would happen if you put a 2x2 cylinder brick: [LDrawPart 3941:15] inside of a couple 1x4x1 arches: [LDrawPart 3659:15:2] Is that possible with some SNOT to hold the arches together? --Todd (21 years ago, 5-Jun-03, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)
