Sometime back I bagan an online study with fellow Mecha Builder
MC7.
MC7 has been working on Ball Jointed frame tech.
His debut of this technology was the creation of the
Tetsumaki.
The frame he developed made use of the hand technique first published by
Master Gla.
As the frame grew, becomming more and more refined and stable. Marcus would
share his progress and we would exchange feed back. As the Tetsumaki took
shape, the ball frame, at a staggering 33 ball joints, excited us by its
ability and sturdy nature. The possibilities to expand and build new mecha
based on this frame lead Marcus to send me the frame in the mail, so I could
see it for myself.
I recieved the small box with the frame and my job was set. See if I could
build a Mecha skin and bring the frame to life. I was interested in seeing
the frame up close and curious to know how Marcus got the choice parts from 2
Titan XP’s on to that frame!
After an exciting all nighter, building like the arrow with no hesitation
that springs from the bow. I built. I built a skin on to the MC7 ball joint
frame.
Now I dedicate the fruit of those efforts to fellow Mecha Builder, MC7 -

The Ryetsumaki
The Ryetsumaki - MC7 ball joint frame - Built in one night - Hands by Master
Gla - A fellow Mecha Builder created the frame with 33 ball joints and sent
it to me - I then built the Mecha to honor his design.
- Original Hand design by Master Gla. Fitted to the frame by MC7.
- The head was the first thing I built on to the frame. I really like the way it came out.
- Piloted Mecha, features front access load.
- The Arms and Legs are surrounded by wing and wedge plates. The dual ball jointed pivot points provide for sturdy posing.
- The rear of the Mech has some nice details. Keeping the overall body light and not too cluttered was fun and interesting to build.
- A shot of the pilot for scale, the Ryetsumaki is 14 inches tall.
Enjoy!
Dedicated to Marcus Clancy.

WOW!! I am not sure what to say. About a month ago I sent Eric the frame for
study. I did that so he could see it first hand. When I first say his Little
Bot I thought it was cool but appreciated more after I built my own. Hence the
reason for sending him the frame. At the time the frame was in its second
version or remake. This is a design that I hope to perfect and with Eric getting
a chance to see it and then build over opens up some ideas that he may have
found that I may not have seen befor. With talking to Eric about it he has
pointed out a couple of things that I will address in the next frame. Aside
from that I have to say what a wonderful job Eric did to build over a frame he
was not that familiar with. Look how it turned out. Awesome!! Plus he added a
minifig pilot.....something I have not done on any of my builds over this frame.
I also enjoyed seeing the colors and the parts used in this mech. Ryetsumaki
Rules!! This is cool to see the frame I made go to such good use. Thanks Eric.

| (...) Aww hey that is great. It was fun and such a releif to be honest that I didn't have to scratch engineer my own joints. The skip ahead and build factor was much apreciated.
