(...) Lycosid looks a lot like a power suit. I like the range of movement the ball & socket joints give your models. I'd like to see this one go up against your shocktrooper. Bryce (24 years ago, 5-Jan-01, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

(...) One thing you need to consider is that the LoM mecha have their center of gravity almost directly above the click-hinges. They also don't really put very much weight on the joints themselves.

(...) Right now I've got 2 hinges on each joint. I thought that would be sufficient, but now I wonder if there's not some kind of weird torque going on - because I don't think the model is *that* heavy, and the hinges hold up stuff like the LoM (...) (24 years ago, 3-Jan-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Jeff, Usually you'll need to put a "stop" in the knee joint to keep it from falling down. Or maybe you could double or triple up on the click hinges though I've found that this method gives only slightly more stability. I've also seen the (...) (24 years ago, 3-Jan-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

I'm messing around with a two-legged walker design vaguely similar to the AT-ST. This is my first real experience with large mecha, and I seem to have made it too heavy for the click hinges to worm properly - it'll stand up (barely) but if it's (...) (24 years ago, 3-Jan-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
