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:

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 if you toned it down and/or limited yourself to less colors.
Extremely cool models, though!

Yeah, the color scheme is OK on the Emu but on the Katipo, its a little
chaotic. My problem there was not having enough red throwbot socket joints and
gray 2x1 two-hole technic bricks, so I had to use black pieces in both cases
for the inside segments of the legs.

Later,
Todd
