After recently aquiring several 2x1 two-hole and 1x1 beam bricks from LEGO
S@H, as well as several 1x4 grill mounting plates and 3' friction pins, I've
developed a new technique for adding badly needed "studded bulk" to the
throwbot limbs in my mecha. These are the results of my experiments:
"Anubis"
"Thor"(upgraded version)
"Katipo" (my 1st arthropod mecha)
"Emu" (a really tall "chicken-walker" mecha)
All these can be found on my "UESF & Allies" page at:

| You did a really good job at bulking up those thro bot pieces! Ive been wrestling with this one for a while for various creations. I came up with a similar solution using the pins and beams you mentioned but you went way past that. I love how lanky (...) (24 years ago, 24-Aug-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

| (...) its been a week and a half since i've been online finaly a return to find this!

| (...) Very, very cool! I especially like Thor's industrial look and the all around coolness of Katipo! One suggestion, though. Thoguh it seems like you use a regular color scheme, I think it would help the visual quality of your models tremendously (...) (24 years ago, 24-Aug-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)
