I while ago I tried to make a mech using a bunch of little clip pieces for joints. As I finished, I realized that I had made it too big for those kinds of joints. It could hardly stand, and it fell apart whenever I picked it up. My little sister had (...) (22 years ago, 1-Apr-03, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

thanks a lot! actually, i used the tanks as sort of a temporary backpack unit until i could replace it. apparently, i didn't need to. as for the feet, i actually made them long on purpose...trying to go for the anime "disproportional" or (...) (22 years ago, 31-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

OOOoo! Nice! Just a quick glance was enough to make me realize that this was really a stunning piece of work, but closer examination proved it was lavished in small brilliant details.

A slightly faster variant of the walker that I made. this features a larger power plant, wider hip rotation, and longer feet with a shock absorbing heels. (URL) you can see in the animation, it really scoots along. Even better is that it scoots more (...)

I just had to comment on how nicely refined this model is, Jason. You obviously put quite a bit of effort into the design and coloration of the TA-7 Rotgeist. Other than the feet looking a bit too long (for my tastes), I can find no fault in this (...) (22 years ago, 31-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

thanks, buddy. i never used to be a big reversed-knee fan either until i saw what armored core 2 did with it. that's what started it all. my favorite weapon is the sniper rifle, too. the minigun is definately not an original idea, and the cannon was (...)

wow! thanks, big-guy. great to hear from the master. as i told geordan hankinson, the whole model was build around the reversed-knee, bipedal look. thanks for noticing that. as for upping the scale, i am still somewhat limited on bricks, but i plan (...)

Hey cool, dig the three peiece knee hindge. Like the feet rear splay. The shoulders look really cool, love the hatches, nice compact fit here. Really like the chest with the two inverted halves.
