| (...) Hey Eric! (...) I can see the foundrydx influence. I think that was a good place to start. I never really got into those creations other than "eye candy" because minifigs did not seem to be able to use them. I am a big fan of getting those (...)

| Stop talking about my thrusters, Kyle, I'm sensitive about that ;) Although there have been only a handlful of mecha-style dropships this is clearly one of the best. As I mentioned on my MOCpages review, I like the salad-bar approach you took to the (...) (20 years ago, 18-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

Yup... this one will definitely get an overhaul :) (...) (...) (20 years ago, 18-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| (...) Thanks... I've actually never seen the FSS anime, but again, on Foundrydx.com he built one, "Temple", that was influenced by that show. And my mech was inspired by his. I thought it would be cool to do a single color mech. (...) This is where (...) (20 years ago, 17-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

I'll get a pic up pretty soon, but there are two knobs you can just see, they have the flat 2x2 tiles on them, there is a worm gear contacting the exterior gearing of the table in vertially in the back of the hip. that is what controls the (...)

| Weclome to a dot mecha, where Lego mechs can stomp free. (...) This is my fav of the bunch. Great porportions, good balance, the big old ax is a nice touch.

| (...) Not another chicken walker. Sheesh, talk about old hat. ;) In all seriousness, that hip joint is a real eye opener. Thanks. You only have the two axes of rotation in the ankles, yes? And is the thigh rotation also worm geared? Cheers, Allister (20 years ago, 16-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
