The black frame was hijacked for a future bipedal project, so I built this frame
after an order of 20 worm gears came in from Pitsco. I’ve used 18 in this model
so far. The joints aren’t really realistic for a quadraped, but they serve
their purpose.
The geared turntable should provide clearer views for those who were
dissatisfied with previous pics of the top of the turntable.
I am not sure what the final form of this mecha will be, but it will be a less
literal interpretation of the source picture than, say, Brian Cooper’s phase one
model. I am sure there will be at least some exposed gears. I like the exposed
technic look - gears look like mechanical muscle tone to me...lots of detail to
see. Besides, this project has been an excuse to experiment with new worm gear
techniques...it would be a shame to hide them all...
Later,
Chris
