Some good close ups of the leg design too.

I wanted to mention that I figured out a good way to strengthen the middle
member of the legs, position the 1x1s with studs both facing the same
direction, then run a classic space antennae straight through the bottom of
one of the 1x1s until the base of the antennae is seated.  The top of the
antennae should just stick into the top of the second 1x1 and hold the two
in line.  I'll get pics of it into the bs folder of the leg instructions.

Check it out, reverse kneed mech, walking.

You are definetly the best at making reversed kneed mechs especially those
reminiscient of mechwarrior/battlemech. I like the take on the Minotaur.
That's one of my favorite episode of the old batman cartoon's Maze of the
Minotaur. Too bad there aren't any pieces to use to give it a nose ring that
would have given it more of a minotaur feel. Awesome job Snow Daddy-Semaj

Something will come out and whammo, it's going on. Thanks man (...) (22 years ago, 21-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.castle)
