I have a quick survey:
While building a mech, what is the hardest part for you to make? I always
have tons of trouble making the head look decent and properly proportioned
with the rest of the body. Arms are another one of my weak points. I'd like
to hear what others think.

For me it's more like what part ISN'T the hardest. Normally I struggle with all the parts of my mechs. (...) (23 years ago, 27-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) on the few first attempts at building anything but minimechs, I find that the torso is hardest for me. I can build a set of arms; a set of legs; even a head, that all look good together, but I can't seem to string em all together with a good (...) (23 years ago, 27-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
  Re: Part of a mech that's hardest to build
 
(...) Typically, I spend almost as much time on the head as on the rest of the mech. But then there's the hip area. If I don't succeed with that, then the mech never comes to be. So the hips are pretty hard, sometimes. Then, on some mechs, the arms (...) (23 years ago, 27-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) my head for what I think will be a good strong ankle, but I gotta get me some more o' them ball joint thingys first. As far as heads go, I think you're safe to err on the small side. If you give a mecha a disproportionately small head, it just (...) (23 years ago, 27-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
  Re: Part of a mech that's hardest to build
 
Well, let's see, Hmmm, it depends.... I ussually always start with the head. I like building the head of a new Mech, because at that point I know what "personallity" the Mech will have, then I start on the Hands. Once the Head and the hands are (...) (23 years ago, 27-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

  Re: Part of a mech that's hardest to build
 
Hey Greg The hardest part of building a mech is visualizing in your head what is it that you want to build? Once you have that done, everything else is a matter of time to build things just right. The second hardest part is getting the mechs (...) (23 years ago, 28-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
  Re: Part of a mech that's hardest to build
 
Well, seeing as to how i built ONE mech in my LEGO career, i'm not sure how valid my opinion of "the hardest part to build" is, but the most trouble i've had with my ONE mech would be the joints. I guess i'm spoiled by super poseable spiderman by (...) (23 years ago, 29-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
