(...) The frame is, for the time being, only half done. I was somewhat inspired by your "goliath" to try to make a small worm gear driven frame. It really is quite a rewarding challenge to build with worm gears, and I think the time is ripe for an (...) (19 years ago, 12-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) Ah, yes ... now I can see the spaces in between the bricks. In the future, I would ask that you use a different color than black for your examples. I love to mimic your work but black is so hard to photograph and see the details on the web. (...) (19 years ago, 11-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Hi Tony, that's a good start. You captured the overall shape quite well. The upper body looks really good, but is too bulky compared to the legs. I would agree to Timothys suggestion to fatten them a bit. The T-piece joint is not really (...) (19 years ago, 11-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) Hi Tony, This is a good start and your upper torso is quite good overall but your legs are waaay to skinny. My major suggestion would be to fatten them up. After fattening the legs you might also want to make the waist a bit bigger but see how (...) (19 years ago, 11-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) I'm not sure how he did the 4x4 plate either, unless he drilled it. I made this turntable and used a 2x2 round plate. Worked like a charm. -Brian (19 years ago, 11-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) I think it's actually a 2x2 round plate in the center, with four 2x2 corner plates surrounding it. It's a bit hard to tell from the photo though. -Elroy (19 years ago, 11-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Great Job! But I had trouble with the top. There appear to be four 4 x 4 plates that fit over the small turntable and are wedged against the axle so as to form a surface that spins with the axle. When I try this, the plates do not fit. Are (...) (19 years ago, 11-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha)
