I completely agree with you Chris. For so long I've been pondering this
question as well, and could not find an answer. Now I finally realize that for
me it is the torse that is the hardest part of a mecha to build.
Here are 3 reasons:
1) It is the largest part of a mecha (Bryce's Quetzalcoatl is an exception).
2) It is most often the blockiest part of the design, due to the function it
serves; connecting all the parts of the mecha, as well as housing a cockpit
(not always however).
3) It only allows you to build on two sides; the front and the back (sometimes
this is not the case).
BTW has anyone, other than me, had the unexplainable urge to put all of these
mecha concepts, ideas, and theories into a book, or some kind of site. This is
something I might do in the future...
Mladen Pejic, over and out!

| (...) Yeah, Mladen, I fully intend to have a complete Origami Mech section on my Brick'n'Brack site as soon as I can. I'm not really into minifig or larger scale, but I suppose I could include them as well. Any ideas? Matt (23 years ago, 27-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
