(...) Definitely gracious. You will attain divine blessing from me. (...) Well if you look at the picture I link to in the original post (oh yes, the comb comment has earned some sarcasm ;) ) you will see that the top of the heard is rather round. (...)

Looks good Tim, The build reminds me a lot of Jon's bots. Of course wandering down the street can remind me of Jon's bots so.... Sorry, I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to Ldraw stuff. My only suggestion is to build it out of brick. That aught to (...) (18 years ago, 12-Apr-06, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) That's 'cause I stole his leg joints ;) (and forgot to credit them so thanks Jon, it wasn't a direct steal which was why I forgot... sorry) (...) I'm afraid that probably won't help but... thanks :P (...) I'm trying to dabble a bit more. Now (...) (18 years ago, 12-Apr-06, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) If you'd like, I can send you a scan or twenty of my Ghost In the shell manga which shows these mechs in very good detail (and plotting a rebellion to boot!) Give me a buzz on my email @gmail.com if you're interested. Your mech is pretty (...) (18 years ago, 12-Apr-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) That looks really great! I've fallen out of watching the show, but mainly because I don't stay up so late anymore when it's on. My only suggestion for the head is to add another 4x4 blue wheel (the kind with the 4 technic holes around the (...) (18 years ago, 18-Apr-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) Thanks Anthony, Amusingly enough the original design was exactly as you described (studs out version) but it looked a bit bug-eyed so I moved the eyes on top. Thanks anyway. Tim (18 years ago, 18-Apr-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) Ok, one more idea and then I'll leave you alone. What if you removed the parts above the 4x4 round brick you have there now, and instead attached three of these to it, lined up above where the technic holes of the 4x4 round brick. (URL) Then, (...)
