Legs...most definately the legs.

I can visualize and create the head just fine, and the arms are usually the
most intricate part I make, so take the longest. The torso usually just

stubby, too long, too spindley, too rigid. I think I'll just add jump jet
packs to the back and make them all "floating mechs" from now on...

Legs are not the hardest, just the most annoying part to build. How much fun could building a mech be if it wouldn't be for the legs! ;) Primus BuS ComStar LEGO Mechcommander: www.go.to/LegoMC (23 years ago, 27-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
