  Re: My first gundam!! along with a ninja fortress
 
thanks for the compliments but on the standing part I kind of cheated a bit. in case you didn't notice, I just used technic parts to hold the leg to the torso but the leg can't move!! it's stationary but can be wiggled a bit. I couldn't figure out (...) (23 years ago, 8-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.build, lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: My first gundam!! along with a ninja fortress
 
thanks for the complements! the only problem is whenever I do build my "own" style of mech, it either can't stand up, or looks like a big blob of plastic so whenever building mechs i have to cheat and copy someone else or else it doesn't work. I am (...) (23 years ago, 8-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.build, lugnet.castle)

Dave, Thanks for the encouragement. I'm pretty positive you and the rest of the gang will be quite pleased with the rest of the designs. I am printing out a test page and applying them to various minifigs to see how they will turn out. I'll be sure (...) (23 years ago, 8-May-01, to lugnet.castle)

Hey I'm famous! <blushes> Thanks for the props! For a first mech that is very tall. Looks good. You have a handle on how to get it to stand and hey that's 3/4 of the battle with mecha.

  Middle Earth Ramblings (loooong)
 
As some of you might know, I just came out of my Dark Ages. As my post-Dark Ages masterpiece, I'm going to build a replica of J.R.R Tolkien's Middle Earth, very very microfig-style. However, I want to build Barad-Dur (Sauron's MASSIVE tower in (...) (23 years ago, 6-May-01, to lugnet.castle)

  Reflections on my Lego past
