It’s been almost a year since I built my last bipedal mecha! This time around however, I have finally succeeded in creating a posable mecha without those flimsy ball-joints. The result is surprising sturdy, and can accept a variety of attachments. In the future, I will definitely take the joint ideas I used for the “Centurion” and apply them onto larger mecha.

BTW the LDraw file for the “Prowler” was completed some time ago. Anyone that is interested can find it here.

Enjoy.

I like the exaggerated "bigs and littles" on this one, like the huge feet and itty bitty waist, and I really dig the (...) (21 years ago, 17-May-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) Ahhh... I see you are using the plate hinges, presumably with a brick with a technic hole + friction pin? I'm not a huge fan of those small ball joints, either; but some kind of ball joint makes a good ankle joint. I'm also dissatisfied with (...) (21 years ago, 17-May-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Nice. I like the colors, but then, I'm a crazy man. I'm not feeling the mid-torso or the head. The cockpit just look beaky with that boom for the sensor sticking out. Perhaps if you moved the sensor pack down a couple of bricks. And what funky (...) (21 years ago, 17-May-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) Hello MP. My favorite part of this mecha has to be the weapons and the space thrusters addon. I cannot get enough of them. You really capture the weapons design and the purpose they serve. I also enjoyed what you did with the legs and the (...) (21 years ago, 20-May-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
