I've been experimenting with different mech shapes and I've decided that I am going to build a female mech. I have the head already built and I thought it would look a lot better with hair. I tried using hinges and 1xX plates, but the head is too (...) (24 years ago, 29-Apr-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

I was just looking through this site and noticed there is a new "Heavy Mech". It looks great. Hopefully I'll get pictures of my mech stuff up soon. sun (24 years ago, 29-Apr-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

I like how your mecha all seem to be very no-nonsense and technical-looking. The ThrowBots parts also add greatly to the poseability.

Hi Dave, Your mecha are beautiful as always, but I have a couple of questions: 1) Doesn't the use of a single peg at the shoulder make your mecha difficult to pose? It seems like they'd fall apart if you try to extend the arm forward. Do you use the (...) (24 years ago, 24-Apr-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.build)

I have a tough time describing the parts I use, but I'll give it a whirl. I've found the best hip joints are the black technic peg hinges.
