Thanks, I always wanted to use them in some set of hands one day, I only had 8 so no thumbs! ...But then again it looks like it only needs claws to get by! Thanks! P.S. Have I ever told you that I totally enjoy the Mechs you have created! Eric (...) (23 years ago, 27-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Legs are not the hardest, just the most annoying part to build. How much fun could building a mech be if it wouldn't be for the legs! ;) Primus BuS ComStar LEGO Mechcommander: www.go.to/LegoMC (23 years ago, 27-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) From what I've noticed of mecha design, most mecha have short thighs and long lower legs, terminating in rather large feet. So put some basic armor plating on the thighs, and put heavier stuff on the lower legs. For feet, I'd suggest keeping (...) (23 years ago, 27-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) my head for what I think will be a good strong ankle, but I gotta get me some more o' them ball joint thingys first. As far as heads go, I think you're safe to err on the small side. If you give a mecha a disproportionately small head, it just (...) (23 years ago, 27-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Typically, I spend almost as much time on the head as on the rest of the mech. But then there's the hip area. If I don't succeed with that, then the mech never comes to be. So the hips are pretty hard, sometimes. Then, on some mechs, the arms (...) (23 years ago, 27-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Yeah, Mladen, I fully intend to have a complete Origami Mech section on my Brick'n'Brack site as soon as I can. I'm not really into minifig or larger scale, but I suppose I could include them as well. Any ideas? Matt (23 years ago, 27-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

I completely agree with you Chris. For so long I've been pondering this question as well, and could not find an answer. Now I finally realize that for me it is the torse that is the hardest part of a mecha to build. Here are 3 reasons: 1) It is the (...) (23 years ago, 27-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Legs...most definately the legs. I can visualize and create the head just fine, and the arms are usually the most intricate part I make, so take the longest. The torso usually just follows along after the arms...but the legs! Oy! Usually, I'm really (...) (23 years ago, 27-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) on the few first attempts at building anything but minimechs, I find that the torso is hardest for me. I can build a set of arms; a set of legs; even a head, that all look good together, but I can't seem to string em all together with a good (...) (23 years ago, 27-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
