(...) Nice pose! This mech looks ready to kick some butt. The rifle is great. I like the wings/jetpack also. Are those throwbot joints on the ankles? If so does it stand well? Bryce (24 years ago, 23-Jan-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Yeah, adding those tiles and bits helped to break up the shape so the arms didn't look like bricks. Nice rifle! ~Mark "Muffin Head" Sandlin (24 years ago, 23-Jan-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Right-o. Made a couple of changes, took a bunch more pictures. Hopefully the arms look better now with the added texture and visual interest. (URL) (24 years ago, 23-Jan-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Hm. I've been pondering this for a while, and I'm not sure the picture shows the arm well - it's certainly not just square.

I really don't like cutting things up, and I have no Throwbots. I'm really not into the technic stuff. there might be a way to attach clikers to a turntable and that would simulate a primitive ball and socket. but it would (...) (24 years ago, 22-Jan-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

If I may make a suggestion: Put some detail on the arms so they don't look too straight and square. Nice head and torso, however. :^) ~Mark "Muffin Head" Sandlin (24 years ago, 22-Jan-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) I do the unthinkable but it's cheap and it works. Get some Throwbot sets and a nice sharp exacto blade. Start cutting at the base of where the useless part starts. This will basically yield 8 ball and socket joints per set like the ones on the (...) (24 years ago, 22-Jan-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
