Here it is, my latest mecha.  It was a influenced some by Heavy Gear,
especially the engine.  The engine is a modified three year old design.
I borrowed the elbow design from Chris Maddison's Maelstrom.  I carried
that over to the leg to create a double jointed knee.  Unsurprisingly to
me, this mecha turned out bigger than what I intended.

Travis, I checked out the Nosrai, what I like best is the way the head covers the minifig when it closes. The feet are interesting too. Hey this is tough for me to say cause I make a point of always trying to be nice, but ugg! the hands! not the (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) the katana is cool. Minifig legs for hands may be played out, but they're great for holding stuff well. I think if they weren't so overused, they could still be used to advantage on just the right mecha, IMO. Later, Chris (22 years ago, 5-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
  Re: Nosrai light mecha
 
I would like to thank everyone for their compliments and suggestions. I am in the process of implementing those suggestions with a few changes of my own. Version 2 will be up later this week. Version 1 will remain b/c I still like it. Travis (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Ah, a highly underused technique, IMO. But then, lots of builders aren't that concerned with extreme articulation-- it's also hard to manage, IRL. But, I see it all the time in Hobby Japan, so I often think about implementing it in Lego-- (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
  Re: Nosrai light mecha
 
(...) shoulders were a little chunkier but that is just my mecha style coming through. (example 2 1x2 inverse slopes and 2 2x2 double inverse slopes with that 2x2 plate on top) But this thing is really cool. I'd love to see it built out of bricks. (...)

  Re: Nosrai light mecha
 
Not bad, not bad. I like the hatches. The head piece especially. Everything looks like it would seal up nicely too. legs and feet are pretty darn cool as well. What I think needs work, is the shoulders. A little too square for my tastes. You know? (...) (22 years ago, 6-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
  Re: Nosrai light mecha
 
Hey neat, I like this one, loks like it has good poseability and is really nicely detailed. I love the backpack as well. The sword using katana's is a nice touch as well. :^) May I suggest not using so many upside down plates and such? It seems to (...) (22 years ago, 6-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
