(...) Nice job from an engineering perspective but in regards to your "walking tank than a work of art" comment, I think it's way too flat. Some rounded edges would probably be added to an actual mecha to increase deflection of arms fire. Just my (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jan-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) I am not much of a mecha fan, but your model is pretty cool. I think it captures the look of a working, serious mech. I look forward to seeing more of your MOC's on Brickshelf! (24 years ago, 7-Jan-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

I recently created a Brickshelf account and uploaded pics of my latest creation, Fuji Power Armor.

(...) 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.

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)
