Hello, My name is Chris Searing. I have been lurking around LUGNET for a few years now. I finally decided to show myself , mostly because the Mechastruct contest urged me to do so. I have been building my own mechs (yes, mechs. NOT mecha, although (...) (22 years ago, 23-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) S! thanks, I actually had to go and look at your TG 3 because I thought I was making an inadvertant copy of the feet. I went and checked and saw it was simular but not a rip off, whew!!! Anyway I had that Mech in the back of my head when I was (...) (22 years ago, 22-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Hey MP! ya, I agree, ....and that's what made it so fun! I also like how it's mounted on a ball joint. (...) Well, the inner part (closest to the body) is a little floppy. But I did manage to make a new stiffen technique. In this picture: (...) (22 years ago, 22-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Pretty cool Man! This mecha looks like a further evolution of that red speed suit model you built this summer. You just can't get enough mecha building...your pace reminds me of Mladen's mecha building rate last year! When do you find the (...) (22 years ago, 22-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) While it is certainly likely that someone thought of the idea of using Lego minifig legs as arms before Karim, he is (to my knowledge) the first person who actually published his idea in the form of a website or online photos; as a result, the (...)

No way Karim started that I have been using minifigs legs as hands since the late 80's. And I am sure there are those that did it before me. (22 years ago, 21-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) <snip> (...) Look at the fingers. They are minifig arms. That's what Jacob's asking about I think. I don't know who started the minifig legs as hands thing. That one is lost to the ages unless someone here remembers. Mark (22 years ago, 20-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Really? I thought Sun Yun ((URL) did. At least that's the first place I saw them. (...) Not me, but I think it's a great way to get a quick hand that can hold a weapon securely. I used it here ((URL) Teacher: Define Sarcasm in five (\`--/') _ (...) (22 years ago, 20-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Sweet!!!! (Just wait until Eric Sophie sees this!!) That Megatron rocks!! What to do next? Hm...how about Jetfire?

Thank you sir, thank you. I was sort of shooting for a mech/velociraptor sort of theme. I actually built three heads before satisfied for this beast. The first one just wouldn't hold itself together, the second is neat looking but a little too (...) (22 years ago, 19-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

No chance of doing it in the right colors there aren't even enough parts made in those colors to build it. I will probably do it in Yellow and black (or maybe blue), and if I get ambitious I would render it in cad using the right colors (neon green (...) (22 years ago, 19-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

What really frightens me about this mech, is the head. I dunno, possibly it's the lack of mouth. It's so un-Sophie-ish... Right... Very cool. The rest of the mech is quite nicely built as well, Eric. I gotta ask though, how stable is the mecha? I'm (...) (22 years ago, 19-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
