I was just looking at Colin Gutierrez' webpage and I think I may use his
hand design on my mecha (Thanks for the instructions Colin)

http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Saturn/5559/grhand00.html

Anyone know of a small, inexpensive set where I can get a couple 1x1 Technic
beams? My collection is old enough that the smallest I have is
1x2. I suppose I could figure out a work-around, but I'd rather not if I can
get the 1x1.

See my hastily scribbled mecha blueprints at:

As you can see, I am planning to use a lot of Gundam influence. I like
rocket-pods. Especially ones that open and close. Missile swarms! Yay!
The shoulder rocket-pod design I got from a character in a Dreamcast game I
saw at my friend's house. I can't remember the name of the
game, however. :^P

I'm still trying to decide on a rifle. I may decide to make a YBBG for him
to haul around. I am also going to experiment with a front-entry
cockpit.

Suggestions?

(...) No problem. (...) I can't think of any small sets. Ironically, the smallest technic beam seems to usually come in the largest sets. (Flying Ninja's Fortress, for example) (...) to see the finished model. (...) Something I haven't seen anybody (...) (25 years ago, 2-Mar-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) There are four black ones in the new Castle catapult (@$5.00). It's a great parts set. Josh Spaulding josh_spaulding@hotmail.com (25 years ago, 3-Mar-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)
  Re: Mecha plans - I got yer Technic beams RIGHT HERE!
 
(...) I just bought the small Bull's catapult from the new Castle sets...and it uses 4 1x1 Technic beams for its wheels. Set is less than $10 at Wal-mart. Aaron In the immortal words of Socrates..."I drank WHAT?" (25 years ago, 3-Mar-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)
