I have created a new mecha the pelvis section is only 1 stud wide. It looks awesome. I'm thinking of a name but won't ask for suggestions till you see what it looks like. If I got a dinky web cam, would I be able to take a good picture of it? (...) (23 years ago, 23-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Welcome to LUGNET Jacob. Of course I am still generally a new name in mecha building here, new compared to builders like Mladen, but nonetheless I usually display my mecha here. About the reliable hip joints, that is something I have been (...) (23 years ago, 23-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Bravo, bravo. I think you've got the essence of something here. Barebones model. I particuarily like the "eye" What I find most intriguing about this guy is the potential. Think, not only is it a trainer but build on it a little and you have a (...) (23 years ago, 22-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Someone suggested to me that the design would benifit an EVA (...) (23 years ago, 21-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Ebay is a good sources for large numbers of click (...) (23 years ago, 21-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

<snip> (...) I think some of the Technic Cyberslam has purple technic pieces, and if you dig hard enough, I think there is some sand blue in the Red Planet Protector from the Life on Mars stuff. Purple and Sand Blue might work together. However, I (...) (23 years ago, 21-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) More? Jeez, the only way I could've gotten more poseability out of this would've been if I'd put in a spine. Pretty much EVERY other joint in the human body is represented here :) I actually thought about a spine, but if I'd done that, I (...) (23 years ago, 21-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
