I’m curious about the
hands/fingers... I’ve been meaning to try that, but I wasn’t sure about
the posability? How do they fair when having to hold something?
|
Not very well at all. Most mech builders leave an exposed stud somewhere
that does most of the holding. Mark Sandlin’s DEEPFRAH uses this finger
style, and the gun (as seen here) is held up by that inverse slope in the palm. Soren Roberts also
used this finger style
(here)- which was
my direct inspiration for Bangobot (or should I say, idea stolen?) - and he
also relies on exposed studs in the palm to hold on to anything.
I’m sure you could get something in the hand and have the fingers hold it
up, but not much.

Ummm...
Ahem...
I think I used that finger idea first:
|
Truly that was innovative. But this isn’t about you. It’s about Lenny citing
his inspiration.
|
Well I was merely pointing out the true source. I don’t want people to forget
the true source. If Lenny wants to give a brief history of the idea, he should
include me in it.
To you this might seem silly, but to me it’s very important. I’m very fastidious
when it comes to history.

| |
I thought Mark’s DEEPFRAH webpage cited me as the inspiration, but I guess
it was taken it down. Oh well, no matter, it’s already become as ubiquitous
as the minifig legs as hands idea.
|
Again, very innovative! IIRC, Mark did cite you as a source here on Lugnet.
You’ve been credited. Propers have been given already.
|
I’m not seeking any kind of praise.
Read the above reply; I want people to know the source.
| |
Have a seat and relax. You’re blocking the spotlight.
|
I’m sorry I did that to your boyfriend. He has it back now.
mmmkay?
:-p
