MC7 Ball Joint Frame ZRX1 version.

-snip-
This is a wonderful thing to see! The ZXRX1 Frame is an upgraded version of
the frame that I had been working on for over a year now. The first attempt
failed badly and I wanted to correct. So after some thought I made the MC7
frame that Ryetsumaki and Tatsumaki are built over. In my first design I
made it too big..so when I added the skin, the frame would not hold the
weight. So I made a stand for it. Knowing that my goal was to strengthen the
joints and build on a smaller scale. In a way I had succeeded but there were
a few issues that needed to be addressed. I had sent one of my original
frames to Eric and over time we both studied and solved what issues we
could....the example being the ZXR1 frame. This is not the last of this
design. I plan to work on this for some time. I hope you all enjoy the
frame. Thanks Eric. Marcus Clancy

No, thank you Marcus. I always wanted to build a (solely) ball jointed Mecha,
but never did because I knew the scale of the frame had to be carefully done in
order to work within the physical limits of the ball joints. Your dual ball
jointed solution was key in my taking this project on.
You pinned down the proper size and scale for the ball joints to work best with
the frame itself. Our later efforts solidified my desire to build one of my own.
Thank you for sending the original frame to me, as well as the respect you have
shown me for all my years of building. It just goes to show, no matter who you
are and what you build, we can all benifet from a fresh perspective.
Lastly on a personnal note. I have been giving (and getting) people flack for
joking around to much and not really being serious about building discussions.
I, in particular, appreciate your desire to honestly learn and grow through our
work sessions. You certainly have a sense of humor, and we do joke around.
However when I look back at our history, I full well know that you keep your
mind on building and the imediate goals at hand.
Something I thouroghly enjoy. That is, getting together to discuss building
while keeping the jokes to a minimum or only when we have concluded time
discussing building or working towards completing an idea.
Then we goof around, but for the most part I honestly appreciate the fact that
you want to learn, expand and keep focus on what we are doing first and
foremost.
I lost my temper a few times on other chat boards because people rather goof off
and or talk about everything else rather than what the topic is or flat out
asking people to please address the topic: BUILDING.
I really enjoy that you have your mind on the Brick.
Sincerely,
Eric Sophie
