| | | | | Wow. That mecha is JUST SO COOL! I love the kegs, they look great. Excelent design. My only gripe is the lack of weapons, but from what I see from your other models, you focus more on The model itself. By the way- golden is a really good one too. (...)

|
| | | | | | Thanks. Actually, several of the mecha on my site are directly modeled from Virtual On Cyber Troopers, the Temjin, Fei Yen, Dorkas, Viper II, and Bal Bas Bow. The Golden and Silhouette are inspired by VO, but not directly modeled after any specific (...) (24 years ago, 24-Apr-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.build)

| | | | | Awesome as ever Dave. I really like the grey and red color scheme. It took me a few moments to catalog all of the differences in the two models and as a result I noticed a lot of details i might not have seen otherwise. Pat J P.S. I'll be posting (...)

| | | | | | Thanks Pat, I built the Saidin Mecha first, and it was by far my best micro-fig scale mecha to date. I recently tore apart all my other stuff (X-wing, B-wing, most of my VO mechs), and I decided to try another mecha in the same vein as the Saidin. (...)

| | | | | | (...) I have to admit Dave that your designs have be an inspriration to me in building my on mecha. Over Easter weekend, I took some time to start working on different types of hands, feet and especially the joints. I was wondering if you would care (...)

| | | | | | I have a tough time describing the parts I use, but I'll give it a whirl. I've found the best hip joints are the black technic peg hinges. They consist of 2 parts, on one end of each part is a half technic peg and the other is a 3 or 2 finger hinge. (...) (24 years ago, 24-Apr-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.build)

| | | | | | (...) Well Dave, you described it just fine for me. Now that you explained it and knowing what to look for, I have a better understanding of your joint design! Your idea is very simplistic and no where near what I had come up with. My joints, (...) (24 years ago, 24-Apr-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.build)

| | | | | | THE best? Well, that's saying a lot, thanks. I think Karim's transforming Dragon mech is still the best Lego mecha I've seen. My two latest are probably the best Gundam-ish mecha anyone's built to date IMO. BTW, I'm going to be posting some windows (...) (24 years ago, 24-Apr-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.build)

|
| | | | Hi Dave, Your mecha are beautiful as always, but I have a couple of questions: 1) Doesn't the use of a single peg at the shoulder make your mecha difficult to pose? It seems like they'd fall apart if you try to extend the arm forward. Do you use the (...) (24 years ago, 24-Apr-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.build)

|
| | | | Mark, To answer your questions: 1) Nope, they don't fall apart at the shoulders too easily. I have problems with the feet falling off sometimes, but I haven't found a really good way of getting full posability out of the ankles any other way (and (...)
