I actually tried to rebuild the new feet in the same style, but I ended up with
what you seen now. I did however include the rotation pivot support behind the
ankles. future photos will show the mechanism.

But the new incarnation is certainly more practical and functional.
Your robots have become more functional over time, while remaining artistic
and beautiful (in an insectobot kind of way).

Cool, that is my goal.

The skeleton looks strong enough to survive a United Parcel Service attack.

Ha, you know it! But as for the head and face, well, it’d be minced.

I really like the way you formed the red armor around the hips. Elegant.
|
Cool, I worked on that for awhile. Then again, then again, then blamo! Simple is

You don’t generally use plates as body armor but instead sculpt with bricks.
I’d like to see what you can do with plates. You know the new mini angle
plates (classified as wedges) allow smooth armor shaping geometries that were
impossible with the larger wing parts. I got about 50 of them and used them
up immediately. They are like candy for mecha.
|
Those parts are key! I’ll keep it in mind. At first I wanted the Rizmit to have
a skirt simular to the Mecha you have. Then it all got kinda brick and sloped.
