  First attempt at mecha
 
Hello all! This is my first post to .build.mecha and my first attempt at creating something mecha. Please check out (URL) and click on Infantry > Walkers. Currently there are two light walkers online, one biped and one quadruped. It is nothing like (...) (22 years ago, 16-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)
 
  Re: Who's up for mech building?
 
(...) Well, Mark...you've definitely inspired me to give the legs a try. I've already built a pair and also made a shorter pair just to test the idea out. You'll likely see pics by the end of the month. -Dave (22 years ago, 16-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Mecha - What do you need?
 
(...) AH! So that's what you meant! Alrighty then, here's the list: 1) More Throwbot gearboxes - (URL) These are SOOOO important and now they seem to be in very short supply. 2) More SBD rotation joints. It's nice to see them in three sets, but (...) (22 years ago, 16-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)
 
  FREEZE!
 
New mech called Angel, (URL) teaser in case the folder isn't moderated yet, though BS has been remarkably fast! Who do we thank for that? (URL) here is a police mech I call Angel. Lithe and fast to respond to emergencies quickly. Also, heavy dudy (...) (22 years ago, 16-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

  Re: hinge question (was Re: Mecha - What do you need?)
 
(...) I'd prefer these to ball joints, given the choice. The latter are just to weak to support any weight without some extra stiffening, IMO. Now.... I used balljoints for NekoII's ankles, basically supporting her whole frame, but I restricted the (...) (22 years ago, 15-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)
 
  Re: More amazing japanese mecha

  Re: Who's up for mech building?
 
(...) Thanks. I've been talking with some buds and trying some variations on this format. If some work I'll get the pics up, but namely if we use a technic #1 connector for the center joint, t-axles, and at technic connector that takes axles in (...)

  Re: Who's up for mech building?
 
(...) Cool! Can't wait to see what you come up with! I'm thinking I'm gonna make two or three more with this leg config. (got some variations in mind too...) (...) (Gwwwrrr...rrrTHUD!!!

  Re: Grease Monkey
 
(...) Thanks man. I know, snowballs in hell and Snow Daddy does a weaponless mech. (...) Oh, I'm looking (somwhat nervously/anxiously) forward to it. It's gonna be a hoot! Snow Daddy (22 years ago, 15-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)
 
  Re: PA004 Prototype

  Re: Who's up for mech building?

  Hotshots...

  Re: PA004 Prototype
 
(...) Hello Adrian. Thanks; I said the same thing to myself when I first saw the use of them. This really solved a lot of issues for me. I could not make the suit small enough and keep it from looking.... hmmm...stubby. With this tech I get (...) (22 years ago, 14-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)
 
  Re: Grease Monkey
 
(...) Mark - This is great! I like... everything about it. :) The shape is certainly reflective of its name -- short, stocky and powerful like a gorilla, etc. Is that a cutting/welding torch stowed on the left shoulder? Great use of the Technic (...) (22 years ago, 14-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)
 
  Re: Grease Monkey
 
talk about a workhorse! that brute looks like it can do the job and then some! nice change of pace, too--no weapons. i really like the color scheme (red and greay, like my new one) and the reverse knee look: it seems that's what many mech-ers are (...)
