Gear work, especially if it is hidden, is about how the MOC was made, and

could be equally applied to an entirely new design and style.

When you start using gears and making joints, the building motivation changes
somewhat. I’ll build a new mecha only when I have a new idea for a joint. If all
the joints are the same as a previous model, then it doesn’t seem like progress
even if the exterior is wildly different (and hides all the joints anyway!). The
mecha gets built because it is the only way to test the joint. But once you
start building a body, then another artistic sense comes into play and the
machine gets its style and personality. You don’t want to waste all those cool
mechanical underpinnings with dull outer bodywork unless it’s a “test mule”.
Apart from the head though, the Beesh has almost no outer bodywork. It’s mostly
about the joints.

| (...) Not so. Greeblings and SNOT work are both directly related to style and design. Articulation is more about the mechanics, and while it can effect design, it isn't the focus of design. The specifics of how the SNOT work is done (ie, using 1x1 (...) (20 years ago, 11-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
