Chris, its always cool having you check my stuff out, I remember your
encouragement when I was building the GG Mech and all of the other MOCs, Thanks.
I have some yellow parts I have been looking at. I may work with that color
next. Well see.

And its nuts how you have one little
gearbox holding the entire torso.

Tell you what, those Throw Bot Gear Boxes are EXCELLENT.
They are Strong when you add a z40 then lock plate beams to the gear, then bind
it to the pivot structure.Weight on gear, not axle.
Dudes, Coopers Gundam Mecha Originally use it for the ultimate MS suit frame
Tech. Turntables and TBGBs at the waist, shoulders and hips, TBGB at the elbows,
Knees, ankles, MORE!
Cool stuff.

Just as a curiousity, how many teeth have
you broken with these monstrous critters?
|
None of late. During my discovery phase about 14 years ago, I broke lots of
U-Joints, z24s and bent tons of z8s. Eventually learning how much weight can be
applied to axle and gear. Testing with Lift arms and pins to Technic beams.
Luckily TLC replaced them and I didnt break any more then the occasional
mishap, because I had learned the limits of the gears. In particular I noticed
the new design of the z24 and I always laughed because I thought it was because
of me. LOL! (sorry but its just a joke)
Good thing is I have not busted any on Jama. The Mecha I could fix, the Robotics
are somewhat more difficult to repair at times.
|
The only thing is I dont know if I dig the spattering of dk. grey and white
on the torso. Maybe if there was more of one color than the other, but they
seem pretty even. Eh. Still awesome. :-)
|
Ya, know, I know what you mean, I was never really too happy with it, but its
what I came up with given the proportions and the parts I had etc... Still,
maybe it could be better. But Im happy I got to use the Dark Grey hindged
windows from the Slave one set in the chest, So I was at least happy with that.
Thanks for the input.
