You did a really good job at bulking up those thro bot pieces! Ive been wrestling with this one for a while for various creations. I came up with a similar solution using the pins and beams you mentioned but you went way past that. I love how lanky (...) (24 years ago, 24-Aug-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

Nice mecha! However, why does the "Emu" have such large legs, and yet has such a small upper "body"? As for the new technique, it's been here since, Ron & Randy, Karim Nassar, Me, and many, many other mecha builders. Again, nice mecha! (...)

After recently aquiring several 2x1 two-hole and 1x1 beam bricks from LEGO S@H, as well as several 1x4 grill mounting plates and 3' friction pins, I've developed a new technique for adding badly needed "studded bulk" to the throwbot limbs in my (...)

(...) When the GMLTC does train shows, the standard question is "Is it all Lego?" We always tell people that we've used a few non-Lego decals, and the string on a couple of our truss bridges - although we chose string that looks as close to Lego (...) (24 years ago, 24-Aug-00, to lugnet.build)
