An easy set of arms to get is to simply adapt from the mecha that LEGO had made through its LEGO Creator line, as they had two EXCELLENT mecha sets that could provide you with the parts that you need.

it took me the entirety of my childhood to get my hands on that many legos, and i still don't have enough for everything i want to build. however, if there is something you would like to see me build, i can give it a try and send you a picture! ^_^

Hahaha... something i woulda also spent my time doing... this is righteous... my suggestion is prolly using more bionicle rods, while stiff they would also give more structure to the components like the torso that could hold up the body but dude.. i am digging the beam cannon rifle and the hidden gatling guns... very nice. I like the boosters too... Very nice rendition of a gundam. I gotta try building one in my free time. XD

i think you're reffering to technics pieces, but i think i know what you mean. if the cockpit wasn't a single molded piece, i probably could have managed to fit a rod straight through the center. it would have solved so many problems. unfortunately, it got stuck on that base piece, which was completely solid. nothing i could do about it by the time i got to the stage where i was having problems. if i ever do this again, it will be worth rethinking the procedure. i might start with the torso next time.

Ah good stuff. That would explain a bit. Cockpits are hard to make with lego pieces and that's understandable. And yea, i am referring to lego technics pieces. Altho not as firm or solid as lego blocks, they are lighter and give more flexibility with joints and can also be stiff with rods. Thats why i love them so much. Too bad it makes them very fragile... ><... Good luck if u try again. I'd love to see how it comes out.

years and years of experience. that's all it takes really. i haven't built anything new in so many years, but it's like riding a bicycle. your hands and mind just remember what they were made for, and in just a few hours, a giant robot is looking at you! ^_^

ah, yes! i have a fairly substantial collection. i have two younger brothers who also got legos, but grew out of them over time, so their collections inevitably became assimilated by mine. it's still not enough to build the things i really want to build, but when i have more money, i'll be able to buy up some more legos and maybe get myself the resources i need to build the truely epic!

That is an awesome Lego figure. My family used to have a big Star Wars collection to make the war machines. I remember that once you got off the instructions, it was like stepping into a sea of molasses. It took that much longer to finish.
You have my salute for keeping up with a project that big.

it was even harder because of how delicate it became. i had to rebuild everything from the waist up atleast five times cause i couldn't put a support rod through the chest. the weight of the wings kept pulling it apart since the cockpit hatch wasn't actually attached to anything. i don't know if you can see it, but i put a single strip of tape over the tip of the hatch. because the anchor point was so close to the front, the leverage allowed that one piece of tape to keep the whole torso attached. it was a pretty good idea in the end since it was what allowed me to move it from place to place in one piece, and i didn't have to worry about it coming apart every time the floor shook.

Wow, that gundam is impressive! I mean, I can't even DRAW one, let alone construct one out of Lego xD The most detailed thing I made out of Lego was an American flag!

ember-reed In reply to JaqueRabbit [2009-02-25 21:07:05 +0000 UTC]
they're not that hard to draw, but i guess it depends on how your mind is structured. before i could do anything else, i could build with legos. it was my first passion. it became the foundation for everything else i learned how to do. so, when i draw, i do it in reverse compared to most artists. most people, when they draw, think of an image, and the draw it, adding little details as they go along. when i draw, i imagine all the little pieces, and draw every detail until the picture is "assembled." i'm only now learning how to do it the normal way since this spells death for any picture where expression is involved... that's why all my drawings are detail oriented. details are easy for me. expressions are damn near impossible.

i knew the second i posted that comment that you would find some way of turning it into an insult. you are so clever about it in fact that you've made it bullet proof as far as me trying to turn it around again. i wish you would use your talent with words for more constructive purposes rather than using it to so efficiently self destruct!
