Thanks Eric! Perhaps the reason you see many different techniques from different builders in my MOCs is because I SHAMELESSLY RIPPED THEM OFF BECAUSE I HAVE NO GOOD IDEAS OF MY OWN!!!!!!! (not really). Seriously though, I'm glad you like my models, (...) (23 years ago, 6-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Thanks Stuart! It's scale is just a notch up from LBB. When I first made the legs I turned the gears until the bot crouched down and looked like it was sitting. I grabed the camera to catch it in that pose before it fell over! The head was the (...) (23 years ago, 5-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Thanks cousin Mladen! I was hopeing to add somthing to the shoulder area to help "hide" or "tuck" the head more closer to the body. I know it seems a little big. The arms help to at least detract from is big pea pod looking head. Ya, retractable (...) (23 years ago, 5-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Chris Thanks! It does have two small teeth. (URL) kept the front of the mouth free of teeth because it interfeered with the mouth closing all the way.

I'm still stuck on plating on any mecha designs that I do, although I nearly have enough pieces for the skeletal structure of my mecha. This lack of plates disturbs me enough that I continuously tear down everything that I build. What's a good (...) (23 years ago, 5-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
