Very clever Dr. Snead! That little slit just needs that wire huh...interesting! Another anadote (sp?) from the Dr.! So, you were able to get those poses using that technique, pretty neat. I always thought that your Mechs are so highly polished they (...) (23 years ago, 30-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

I've found that putting paper between the two pieces stiffens the joint nicely. However, I suspect your method allows for a greater weight load. (...) (23 years ago, 29-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Great stuff, Eric. @8^) I'm not really a fan of mecha, but nevertheless, your work just blows me away. And this one's right up my alley. Nice. (...) I am both running and hiding from your new creation. -The Rev. Brendan Powell Smith (23 years ago, 29-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
