Criminy it’s quiet around here lately. Where’s everybody gone?

Thanks for all feedback on my first few Mecha designs. This is the latest one, insipred somewhat by the SG Mecha by Ryoichi Takagaki...

Very nice build. You can’t go past Japanese builders for inspiration. I don’t know how they do it, and my own attempts never come close. You, however, have done better by far than I ever have. You’ve achieved a solid design with the ecnomomy of parts use and smooth, studless exterior that just screams Japanese Mech to me. Is this really you’re second mecha? Yikes! :)

I have just got my first Technic rotational click joint and its superb!

Indeed, and the ‘Technic Brick 2 x 2 x 2 with Hole and Click Rotation Socket’ works well with them and makes it easier to combine it with regular bricks.


   Loads better than the ball joint method. The friction is better and it stays put! Only downer is I only have 1 ! lol. But I shall soon have Cadhok & Gahdok (8558) which has 12 of these puppies!!!

Or there’s always bricklink.

  
This has been done to perfection by Chris Snead in his armature design. This is where I will go next I think, as Dave Johann said the Glamature is prone to rag-dolling so the “poseability” suffers.

Try paper in the ball joints.

  
Cheers again for all feedback!


Thanks for sharing.
