Its great to hear that. I try. What’s funny though is the WWF refference didn’t
cross my mind once when I was building it. So now when I think of that it’s
perfect! Too funny.
Imagine Lugnet Postings in the future with sound bytes and full production.
- you make a cool creation, you get all pumped up, then you make you post; “Let’s get ready to “RuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmBLE-e’!”
“or like Bam, there’s my MOC - Pow”
Incendently I don’t mind posting work in progress, because in the end I hope to
convey the way the model is built. You often loose the inner detail in
pictures, and things like functionality and structure can’t be easily seen.
Ironic, because those elements are exactly what you need in play and in place to
begin construction on the model in the first place.
Like reverse instructions. (?)
AnyWay....there’s that.

The articualtion is amazing,
and that reverse-knee joint is nuts. Sort of like a monster in H.P.
Lovecraft... I can’t quite get my mind around it without going insane...
wait... that’s Bryce. No wonder you two are friends.

Who? that old Crow. Yeah, his stuff is “OK”. I guess. !LOL!
I just did that little switch foot thing, I can kick the celing.
Ready to do Martial Art Mecha Building. Psshh Psshh.
Yo, I need me one of those new sets to make my cool moc, man.
Step one, get $5000 of Lego.
Step two, -Confidential-
Step three, flesh out the design.
Step four, Stomp all who stand in the way of the parts I need!!!!!
Step Five, Hive until completion.

Anyway I’m sure alot of
people smarter than I in the ways of mecha-joints will heap praise on your
technical proficiency, but allow me to comment upon my favorite feature, the
head. I think one of your real artistic design strengths is the head and
face. You get that true, and hard to capture bio-mechanical look, and even
more difficult, expressioin. All of your robots give great face. I really
dig the red eyes on Rumble, and the ears for that matter. Well done again,
you are the king.

The canopy shape grew on me. I tried something new, I used ball joints to mount
the eyeframes so I could adjust them to get the geometry I needed, then lock the
angles in with Brick. The area the couplings are attached to also formed the
first segment of the neck, and gave the head a place “Mount”.
Many thanks,
