The missle racks balance out the body and help “round” out the form. Though

Thank you, Master! I do appreciate all the help you have given me.
| |
Yellow on black. Nicely done. Lots of spines and twisty bits applied to
break up the straight lines of the form. Also cool. Playing with quality of
arraingment and overall theme, will help in cohesiveness of the model. This
looks just a little chaotic with everything going every which way. Doesn’t
look like there’s much ryme or reason to it.

Yeah, towards the end, I was pulling out yellow greebling and asking, “How can I
use this!” The nature of a z24 Mech of this size is more about weight than
anything else, IMO. What pieces look good but aren’t too heavy.
| |
I thought the engine pull out and detail was a neat touch. Not only can you
see it, but can remove it and service it. Great potential for another mech
bay kind of scene.
|
Thanks. In reality, I had a space between the hips and the shoulders and needed
a light weight filler. The engine fit great. I really liked the magnetic
touch. Easy Removal.
I am in the planning stages of a Sophie-style Mech Bay.

The weapons are crazy overdone. Cooooool. It makes for some fun playtime.
The arm weapons I thought could be sleekened up a little bit. they seem,
tacked on? Might just be the pics. I’m learning that real life is always
better.
|
You can say, “Tacked on” again. I really liked using that technic liftarm but
connecting the weapons was hard. I had to just use a technic pin. That gives
them the “gravity-pulled down look”. They are connected to a worm gear and can
pivot.
| |
Love that torque shot of the hip. Yikes, it is amazing what a techinic axle
will take isn’t it?
|
Yes, YEs , YES!!!! I was waiting at any second for a snap, break, pow! I near
leave Razor assemble, too chancy.
| |
For additional strength, (adds size though) is to gear
down the joint. Run a z8 to a z40 for example. The nature of the gear down
will cut down on that torqing of the axle. But again, it takes up space.
|
Is this what you went by the gear sequence on a gear down?
| |
Also, as you get bigger, I think you’ll find that turntables become your
friend in crucial articulation points such as the hip.
|
I know. Building a mech with ball joints, then z24 gears then z40 gears is like
taking algebra before calculas. It is just something you need to do. Then once
you get to calculas you ask, “Why did I have to take algebra, calculas is so
much easier.” Same with z40, there are just parts that make life better. Can’t
wait to use them.
Thanks again.

| (...) Yep, that is exactly it. You can use whatever combination of gears you need (have a available) but this is the concept. Thanks for putting up the pic. We'll be needing to point people at that. Mark (20 years ago, 25-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
