Ha, thanks, yes the Legs, Dang, just had to use them some how.
The first thing I made was the Head. It started from just wanting to make a
Mech Head using that Window part with the hinge on it. At first I was going
to build the next class of Little Bot called the "Macro Bot".

A one step scaling up and added articulation to the LB series.
Then I sifted through what I had and Walllla! We'll call it "Fly-Bot"
and have tea.

What's up with the different scale people?  Are the giants
enslaving minifig midgets, or does the Technic folk provide transportation
at the whim of thier minifig masters?  Something even stranger?

In my world they are friends with flowers and holding hands and and.....
Really the minfigs are supposed to be mini-droids. See the Eye Masks on
there heads.

So the Fly Bot is a Technic Scale Crawl-n-Flyabout.
1 Pilot and a crew of 3 mini-droids.
(Really if you can't fit a Technic fig - stick a mini-fig in and call him a
robot - then have tea.


Me thinks I'll go check out those pics some more.  Great job Eric!
