   There is an interesting crossbreeding of art, technique and skill that I found intriguing. A few of the MOC builders were so enthusiastic and friendly about sharing their MOCs that I was impressed and fascinated.

That is part of what draws me to it as well.

I am starting to get that picture, also the wide variety of ideas and outcomes are nearly mind boggling.

  
   I toured the Mecha pages here within Lugnet which are quite impressive and learned a few things. Of course I “pinched” the hand details from a post within that list. I started to build, picking yellow since I have the most left over slopes and strange shaped plates in that colour.

Wow, thank you for reading those pages. Coolness. I’m glad people find it useful. That is what they are for, the rest is you to you.

It’s a fantastic reference and great place to pick up some inspiration. Forgive me if I have missed it, but I am wondering if there anyone that has covered a variety of joint techniques, or is that a trade secret?

On the “Getting Started” page of the Mecha User Guide, there is a list of Building tips. There you can find links to different Joint Tech concepts.

  
   Still, it was fun right? As is all building. Fun, experiments, trial - errors, new ideas. Its all good.

Yes, it was very fun as well as frustrating (in a good way). I enjoyed the challenge, although I was tempted to just glue him in an upright position and call it a day. I must say, watching him collapse was almost humorous, the first 10-15 times.


   I like the feet and the spine. I think its interesting looking. Just seeing how you went about it. From my perspective, seeing a builder try something new is refreshing.

Thank you.

Hope that helps!
