My two bits:
Check out people's websites, many have tips. Also gives lots of ideas,
"hey, I could do that!!!" This is where I got the first few tidbits for my
first mech.
My insight: draw on paper (I always like to draw things that I have vuage
ideas of, makes them easier to deal with) and answer these questions; what
kind of mech do I want (two legs, four? with visible cockpit? Arms?
Static or moveable?) How much detail to I want? (interior and exterior)
Do I have the bricks? How big do I want this thing?
Then, experiment. Example: I want a hip that moves, how do I get the legs
to pivot side to side? (lots of ways to do it, just how do You want to do
it) Once you have something that you're satisfied with, move to another
conponent and put the parts together. Me, I almost always start with the
hip, move to the legs, feet, torso, and arms. In that order.
Or, if you got an Idea, just try it. What do you have to loose? (except
play time...)
You know, if you don't have lots of bricks, try microfigs. Lots of people
do amazing stuff with that too. Check the links in Mladins reply and go
from there.
