  Re: Tired of click hinges - use technic pins with friction
 
Here's a little secret: Put a small, narrow strip of Saran Wrap around each end of the black friction pin. It'll work wonders for your mecha. You'll find that they can support much more weight this way. Enjoy. ~Mark (24 years ago, 22-Jul-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Well, if you want to remain a purist, then you're welcome to keep having floppy limbs. ;^) I choose to make some concessions to necessity for the sake of being able to build larger mecha. Happy Building. ~Mark (24 years ago, 22-Jul-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Use bits of LEGO paper (ie, the backing paper from stickers) instead of plastic wrap. This will give you a slightly stronger claim to 'LEGO purity'. Steve (24 years ago, 24-Jul-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)
