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 -

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. Marcus Clancy

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. Unussual
feeling at that, thank you. Glad you like the result. I am very excited to see
how it all came out. You engineered a very good frame.
I am really excited about this build. Let us know what you all think. No lurkers
please! I’d like to hear what you think, or it anyone would like to encourage
Marcus to create detailed instructions of the frame, perhaps you can build your
own version.
The frame fastracked the build process by light years. Something an interested
builder might want to check out. It was helpful in allowing a focus on the
esthetics while still learning about joint tech and placement.
Made building the mech easy.
LUKWYT!
