Thank you sir! I'm glad you recognized the SM-388 in this as it was indeed an inspiration for it. Actually, I first had the thought to do this mech after I built the Bodkin fighter using the JSF canopy and 'miniboat hull' wedges. With a workable (...)

Thanks John! You nailed it with the notice of the oversized hips. I found I had to puff them out a bit to make up for the lack of upper appendages. Some of the design is inspired from the Zetradi mechs of Robotech Macross, smooshed together with (...) (22 years ago, 28-Jan-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha)

Mnay thanks Stephen....the levers were an afterthought, but I liked how they looked. Originally there were hoses from the knees to the back of the thigh area, but it restricted the posability. I have to marvel at how those mecha guys get these (...) (22 years ago, 28-Jan-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha)

Thanks Thomas! I tried to keep the size down so I could hopefully employ it in larger platforms. Now onto those larger platforms....yikes. Cheers, -G (...) (22 years ago, 28-Jan-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha)

Thank you sir. The legs were the jumping off point for this little guy....I had them sketched out before the rest. Must be an after effect of poking around in .mecha..... Cheers, -G (...) (22 years ago, 28-Jan-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha)

That's a nifty little Mech you built there. It reminds me of my SM-388 robot I built a while back only this is 10 times better. I like what you did with the hip joints. Looks very good. Good to see a moc show up under the a.c.e.r. banner. Jamie (...) (22 years ago, 28-Jan-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Thanks for the feedback. The Hummingbird isn't designed to be orbital capable, as the propulsion depends on using the atmosphere for a working fluid, but I suppose one could jury rig an internal propulsive gas source and maybe make it to low (...) (22 years ago, 28-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)

Very cool, Gil. The legs really work well with the cockpit- its hard to make an armless mech that looks right. The use of the dish and round brick design for the hips also is nice. You are the master of things that stick out! You really did the back (...) (22 years ago, 28-Jan-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha)
