I've been developing technology for building large mecha (28 inches) with technic skeletons and gear driven joints over the last couple of months after messing around with Star Wars designs. Gundams are an interesting theme and well suited to this (...) (24 years ago, 25-Nov-00, to lugnet.build.mecha) !!

(...) Thanks. The Gundams are big enough to use the Falcon as a boogie board, surfing the exoatmosphere. Both were equally fun to build. The advantage of Gundams though is that there can be infinite variations. I could build a dozen different (...) (24 years ago, 25-Nov-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Not sure what you mean by boat plates. Both gundams use only various angle plates stuck together for the outer armor. Probably the only really unusual parts are the rubber hovercraft skirts used for the black Gundam's wing thrusters. As for (...) (24 years ago, 25-Nov-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Ah, very nice. I'm afraid I'm not adept enough with Technic gearing to build joints of that nature. I need some lessons. :^( ~Mark "Muffin Head" Sandlin (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)
