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.
|
Flimsy? Hmmm...to each his own. Granted, I’ve been staying away from them for
awhile now, but that’s only to devise newer joint tech and expand on older
stuff as well.
|
I’m not say they are crap. They work fine up to a certain scale, after that
though, you have to either stiffen the ball-joints somehow (I don’t like modding
my parts), or find another joint system.
| |
| |
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.
|
...commence drooling...
Seriously, man, this is a nice design-exaggerated in all the right places.
Like some of the others, I’ve got concerns about the colorscheme, but it is
growing on me. I guess my problem with it is that I consider brown to work
well with either red or dk grey, not both at the same time. I think that made
sense...anyway, other than the funky head design (which I’m not grooving), I
love this model. Nice curves all over-especially the leg structure.
|
Thanks Dave! I understand what you’re saying about the brown working with only
certain colours. I believe LEGO has changed it now; isn’t the brown a bit
lighter in the new 2004 sets?

It’s good to hear from you again - keep on building!
|
You too! :-D
