WOW! Why didn't I find out about this before. I've seen those pictures of your
mecha, and I was IMPRESSED, but I didn't know that the Cepheus had
clicking-joints.
Any chance of a small set of pictures explaining how this works...
Actually, you better just get to work on your new model. Don't want a fellow
LEGO builder to waste time on inquisitive minds... ;-)
BTW don't feel like you have to build Gundam style mecha; there are dozens of
other excellent mecha designs from Anime such as: Patlabor, Appleseed
(hardsuits mmm...), VOTOMS, Heavy Gear (game and comic?), Robotech/Macross,
etc...
Anyways, good luck!
Mladen Pejic, over and out!
