Pat,
Anything that transforms is by definition much more difficult than building
either a mecha or a spaceship. I really like the spaceship. On the mecha I
agree with your critique. That said, what really astounds me is that (to my
knowledge) you aren't using any toy which transforms as a reference. That
alone boogles my mind.

BTW it's good to see you back on Lugnet again.

Later,

I think that I will keep this model around and try to make some design
improvements.  I think the mecha chest area is too big.  The legs are also a
little too small.

Brickshelf wasn't working for me so I just made a few quick web pages.

LMKWYT,

Thanks Bryce. I'm glad you picked up on that. Besides for the folding body and swinging legs (both of which are in every transforming ship I know of) the rest was all original. Everything was carefully planned and drawn out before building. The real (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jan-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha)
