Thanks for the comments guys. Yes, the legs do scizzor. When in the squatting position the legs are in their full collapsed position and the mech more or less rests on the upper ankle joint. When standing I insert a pin in the upper ankle which (...) (19 years ago, 5-Apr-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Hi Ken, thanks for sharing! I got to agree with Jas, for a first mech, this isn't bad. I'm looking at the supports in the legs and it looks like if you pivot something around that is what makes the legs change position. Am I right? I like how the (...)

Hey Ken, Nice work for you first attempt at a mech, I really like the level of articulation you have achieved. I take it the leg has the "scissor action" to it as it bends, which makes for a highly posable, and well balanced frame. What sets did you (...) (19 years ago, 5-Apr-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Quite striking. The new gun is superb, and skirt armor definitely helps, although I think it sits a couple studs too high. I still don't know if I like the way the knee armor looks - it almost seems to have collapsed inwards. Is this a trick of the (...) (19 years ago, 5-Apr-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

It is nicely done - great proportion and articulation. I have to comment on the beam saber, assuming you are trying to match the original design: The beam part should be trans-red or trans-orange, and the saber hilt should be the white pieces (...)

Nice. This Zaku has a clean look to it. For me, a real selling point is that it doesn't utilize alot of unique (or expensive) elements. It is clean, simple and elegant without relying on hard-to-find bricks. Oh, its also nice to see a mech so (...) (19 years ago, 3-Apr-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
