The single eye thing works so well for this thing, too.

Come to think of it, I really like this thing. I need to get me some of those click joints. Soon.


Hey, I tried to reply once already, and something went wrong. Sorry if the original reply eventually shows up and I end up repeating myself.

These are the only mechs I’ve built so far using the technic ball joints, and thanks to the joint strength, they’re the heaviest I’ve ever built. The chicken-leg styles usually require more strength. I’m thinking these could function as hip joints for an even heavier humanoid-style mech. Eric Sophie recommended these parts, and they do indeed work well.

   This one I initially didn’t like so much, because it stuck me as very Life on Mars-y, but now I’m won over.

(maybe ‘cause this shot reminds me of the opening bit in Final Fantasy 6 with the Magitek Armor in the snow...)


Ha! I didn’t see the Life on Mars resemblance until you pointed it out. Oh well, there were some decent sets in that theme...
  
And this thing is just hot. All over. I’d name it Flipper.

Kevin

Glad you liked it! (Flipper?)
