    Technic (Throwbot) Leg with Ball Joints —Paul Gyugyi
   Here is a somewhat rough model of the Throwbot leg, since I built a mini-ATST using parts from the "Granite" tan and grey Throwbot and want to capture the plans. The part was modeled in AC3D, a great cross-platform shareware modelling program (...) (26 years ago, 14-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dat)
   
        Re: Technic (Throwbot) Leg with Ball Joints —Paul Gyugyi
   I'm starting to work on the Throwbot/Slizer parts. If anyone wants to help, I can send DXF meshes of the parts as I start working on them.
