Hello,

I've had my first LEGO Gundam on my site for a while now,  Here it is, the Bu->906 Gundam(ish)

Kyle,
Good mech. Pretty big too as mechs go. The legs do look a bit short for the
torso which makes it look a bit like a primate. Do the arms support their
weight? I can't really tell how you've made all the joints (always what
interests me). Are they all technic?

Well, the shoulder is those techinc flex joints from the arms of the divers
sets, the arms inside the space shuttles, etc...; and the elbows are these
too, but for the very first pic (the one labled "pose") I used some
seran(sp?) wrap  to get the arms to stay up, but for all the other pics ther
was none... The thighs are throwbots balljoints; the knees are the old 1x2
hinges, with no studs on top; and the ankles have these too, and techic pins
for lateral movement...

It's defiantly my most articulated mecha, and if you play with it enough,
and get in a good pose, it can stay there for weeks...

I like the cockpit. I haven't put any in my mechs (all 2 of them), so I'm
always impressed when I see a place for a pilot.
Finally the scaffolding pictures are too cool...repairing battle damage. Those
pictures give me some ideas...

Thanks. I was going to make this be a diff product, and make sure it fit my
other mechs, but It has allready been assilimated into my spare parts to
make my battle cruiser...

Oh, and If you noticed the employees section was "coming soon", I uploaded
the new version... Just click employees in the main nav bar...

How can I be a Keppler Industries employee? Is the pay good? How about stock
options?  ;-)

Bryce

Hehe, depends on your position! If you are a president you get a WHOLE lot
more money than the mechanics you know? ;-)
