(...) Thanks for the suggestion. Due to the weight of the torso, which will increase, I ended up using a regular rubber band doubled on the outer ring and saran wrap on the inner ring. Travis (25 years ago, 15-Mar-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) I have had good luck with a very 'low tech' solution to the 4x4 turntable: I just looped a rubber band (from an old Technic set!) around the 'base' piece, so that the 'top' piece sat over it in two spots.

I'm working on a new mecha design which is coming along fairly well. Anyways, I have become frustrated with the 4x4 turntable part that I am using as the waist. Does anyone know how to tighten this part or have a different idea for a waist? Travis (...) (25 years ago, 14-Mar-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Thanks, Ben. At first, I had designed those pods as engines, but a friend of mine said they looked like heavy LRM pods, and I thought it was a good suggestion, so I guess they're missiles now. :^) I would have liked to make the legs better-looking, (...)
