Hey this is cool, I see familiar techniques done in your own style. Cool. Check out how you did the skirt deal, by using the hoses as a place to fasten the clips, very cool. I like the feet alot. The joint tech in the arms and shoulders is great for that size. Cool Cool. Nice pictures. Look at all the accessories! Fun! Cool looking Mecha. What do you call it? How long did you work on it? Good first attempt, wow.


Its an honor to have Eric Sophie replying. Thanks.

The joints aren’t as strong as they look. It takes a lot of effort to pose the mecha for shots. Most of my parts are pretty old so the clips used in the arms and shoulders aren’t as strong as they used to be. I had to apply a few layers of water-based glue on the clips. It’s a temporary stiffening method and if I bend the joints back and forth too many times the effect will eventually wear off.

Currently, I haven’t a clue what to name my mecha.

As for the time I took to build this thing, all I can say is very long. I lost track of how long I took. I have revised my mecha more times than I can remember and I didn’t really work on it everyday. I worked on it whenever I feel like it and every time I come across a problem that I could not solve, I stop building. Miraculously, in the following building sessions, I always seem to be able find a way around it.

   Welcome!

Thanks again.

Hey that's cool, its a good way to casually build your ideas. Lots of ideas everywhere, in picutres and in the peices themselves. Good job with the poses, I can appreciate the time it takes to get something you like and to get the Mech to cooperate. (...) (21 years ago, 31-Jul-03, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
