 | | My first Mech. (unfinished)
|
|
This is the first mech that I have built. I had tried earlier but my earlier attempts never got past feet and stick like legs that would colapse when I touched them. I am very happy with the legs of this mech. But I am waiting for more LEGO to (...) (24 years ago, 24-Jan-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Not only bulky, but extremely loose fitting. You said you aren't into technic but do you have any aqua zone or arctic stuff? You can use the jointed peices with a techinic peg on one end and either two or three fingers on the other. That joint (...) (24 years ago, 24-Jan-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) 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)

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)

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)
