You and me both, brotha!

However, at the urging of a friend I'm posting my latest Bionicle moc here

Looks even better completed than when you were building it. It's also quite a
bit larger than I though it would be. I love the spider butt. ;)

"I've been trying to build these open organic type models. I've dubbed the style
"weaving" from something ThraxisJr said once, that building Bionicle is like
weaving. Though how he knows what weaving is like is anyone's guess.

Same way he knows about crochet and quilting. It's scary the things he knows....

Anyhoo I'm trying to make a semi ridgid skeletal structure and "skin" that
rather than building out from a solid structure (like a Toa body). I know the
end result is somewhat messy looking but I'm pushing myself to build a bit
more free flow. Also I'm gearing up to make something larger which will need
to be lighter as well. I'm hoping this open type style will help me."

Messy looking, yes. Strong as all get out, yes. Can it be stronger? Not in that
form as I showed you the other night, but it can be stronger. Strong and light
weight...that's what you've built.

Ultimately, I do think this style will help you in a couple of ways namely
strength and versatility in building.

Excellent job, man.

For the most part I've just been flying under the radar in .mecha...you know lurker mode. I still check all the models out though I usually don't post. However, at the urging of a friend I'm posting my latest Bionicle moc here (URL) It's another (...) (20 years ago, 24-May-05, to lugnet.build.mecha) !
