I like that gear-ratio reduction assembly to reduce the stress on the worm
gear--tricky! Out of curiosity, what’s the total worm-gear count?
|
Worm gear count is eight. three in each leg, and one in each shoulder. The
rest are mostly the new rotational click hinge.
| |
The black shoulder sections remind me of Mladen’s bipedal mechs.
Two feet tall? Pictures wouldn’t do it justice, it’d be cool to see it in
real life. I miss the trademark guns and missiles, though. And the arms
could use more bulk to balance out the torso, IMHO. Twenty hours actually
seems like a quick build time for a mech this size.

I may be taking some more pics here, for my b-day I got a photography screen!
No more taping the white sheets of paper, yay! Among those, I wanted to get a
pic next to me. We’ll see if that works or not. I did produce a small aresnal
for Horodris. (Missles a rather nastly looking barrel) but in the end I decided
that weapons really would only detract from this mech. I almost didn’t make
the staff. So what does that mean? Well, I got all this stuff laying around.
I suppose I’ll just have to make another mech. Horodris really really wanted to
be built, that’s why it went to quickly. It was a natural build. God I love
those. Though yeah, now that I’ve gotten the hand monkey off my back I think
the arm monkey will be next. Lastly, I’m really wanting to try to make it to BF
and NWBC this year, so count on Horodris being there.
