Hi all, My final entry. Hitachi Heavy Industries Iron Mecha (2 URLs) BS gallery> I reconfigured the concept art into a crane after people commented that the side cockpit (what I started with) looked like a crane. I also have no idea how to build (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX)

Hi Zac, great job! I like the legs and feet. The details and the guns. But most of all I like that look of this bulky body heading straight foreward to blow away everything that's in the way.

Third update: I switched themes from a construction type mecha to a military one simply because I'm running out of time and think a crane is harder to build than a big gun. Also I couldn't figure out a good use for the "missle pods". So here's the (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Hey Zac, this is a fantastic little mech. The greebling keeps it plenty busy and looks like a tank. The roundness of the legs sold me. The body looks a bit boxy for the size of it, but again, as a tank isn't too much of a hit. I like your variations (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

snip (...) snip why not use the 3l axle with stud (with the stud part) sandwiched between two 1x2 technic bricks. very stiff and gives you a 2l worth of axle to attach to. Mark (19 years ago, 24-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

But it's a good suggestion nonetheless, and I regret not trying it out. The real (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) OK--I'd wondered if you were using the soft-plastic-rod stiffening technique in this somehow. Is there no way to use the 4x4 round brick, which also has a center axle groove? It might hold the guns better, though I don't know what effect it (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
