    New Mecha: The Tribunal —Jon Walden
   I just finished my latest Mecha, I call it Tribunal. You WILL be judged!! I warned you all with my last Mecha post that I might decide to make another tripod at some point.

In fact I tend to take most photos into it and hit the "I'm feeling Lucky" button - which adjusts white balance, other colour balances and a few other (...)

         Re: New Mecha: The Tribunal —Marco Tagliaferri
     (...) Hello Jon, (...) I'd sign too for all of the above. One question on the treads: is it possible to turn the feet so that all the treads are heading in one direction? I could't figure that out from the pics. (...) Once again I agree to 100%. (...) (19 years ago, 30-Nov-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

     (...) Excellent, my plan is working perfectly....mmuuuahhahha. All silliness aside, Yes Marco, it is possible to rotate the feet. I guess that means I did a good job of concealing that particular joint joint. (...) snip Glad you liked it! -Jon (19 years ago, 30-Nov-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

        Re: New Mecha: The Tribunal —danny staple
    Hi all, I feel kind of cheeky, posting to the thread without a word on the mecha itself. It has an awesome look about it - and I realy have a thing for tripods - this one really does live up to the image. Its interesting having real stats as well (...)
