Greetings all! I haven't posted in this particular group before, but after seeing this MOC in Space, Anne (The Lego Tiger) suggested I post it here: (URL) guess it is kinda mechy. Hope you enjoy it! Dave (21 years ago, 22-Jul-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) perfect. I expected a more Cephus-type creation from your description (like Mladen said, the whole function dictates form thing), but this is just cool. Very action-figurey. And I absolutely adore the head design. Using that Clickit for an eye (...) (21 years ago, 21-Jul-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

The jump rockets splay out just enough as well....too (...) (21 years ago, 21-Jul-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) Check out this pic: (URL) little thing is an alpha male. I love STIKFAS! I wanted to give the frame the same range of motion as the Stickfas figures; needless to say, they were a source of inspiration... Thanks for the kind words! Chris (21 years ago, 21-Jul-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Chris, Just wondering, but have you ever heard of STIKFAS? Because looking at those pics, I was like "Wow, he built a STIKFAS figure out of Lego!" AWESOME (Stikfas or no)! I absolutely love it - he's ready to kick-box the enemy ... he looks organic, (...) (21 years ago, 21-Jul-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Hello everone... Here is my new mecha - Aldebaran: (URL) got the idea when I started toying around with a SBD click hinge based armature: (URL) figured the whole "building a frame" style of construction was a good way to 1) carefully control the (...)

The torso design is pretty nifty too, using that bionicle piece for a spine. And I (...) (21 years ago, 20-Jul-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
