I am very impressed Master Sophie-wan. The force is strong within you.

I am floored at how posable he is at this size, but I guess I shouldn’t be
too surprised, you are the Master after all ;)

I find it stands beter “Action Posey” than “Normal”
Once you get used to the new sounds your mocs make, you develope an empathy play
with how the model wants to stand. Your learn about it.

I’m sure it took a lot of effort to get him to balance in all those different
poses, but it sure doesn’t look like it. You sure make this whole Mech thing
look effortless.
|
Thanks, its just like discovering the beauty of a formula.
| |
I only have two little bits of criticism about your new bot.
|
Ya? Ya? Tell me tell me!!!
| |
One, the control sticks seem to be kind of out of place. That is, they seem
to long and thin, and don’t really add to the smooth look of the bot. The
ankle controls in particular stand out to me. This is, of course, just my
opinion.
|
Right, well the deal is the control sticks help me move the robot hassle free
when they are a tad long like that. When I tried to top them off, they kept
infereing with the upper limits of the movement and thus limited the
flexability. But perhpas I can use some small red bevel gears to create “Thumb
wheels” I’ll give it a try.
| |
Secondly, I must say I really like your shoulder and hip designs. It’s
something I haven’t seen before, but then again I’m new at the whole Mech
thing so maybe it’s an old design. However, while it is really neat, and I’m
sure works very well, visually it looks a bit odd, with the upper regions of
the arms and legs being only one brick thick. I fully understand why you
have it this way, and honestly I’m not sure how it would be changed, so... I
suppose just forget about this part :)
|
LOL! The Shoulders give that classic Foot Ball Player Shoulder/ Armoured Mech
look. But really, to mix the two functions of Upper Arm Lift and Upper Arm
Rotation made the Shoulder area what it is, so I built the whole robot using
this technique. Classically the look of the Padded shoulders is a common thing
in these here parts of the woods.
| |
Excellent work.
I’m glad I can understand what all his joints do, unlike Jama ;) I guess
with better understanding of this whole genre comes greater appreciation of
what goes into building these things.
|
Hey thanks, that is very true. right on. as is with all things.
