Ok cool. I'll see if I can figure out anything
This is my take on your Thunderbold model. I can send you the file if you want.


Also... I'm very very sorry. But I just thought you should know...

My girlfriend walked in on me playing around with your Thunderbolt model and well... You see...

I tried. I really did. But she wouldn't leave me alone. She just kept NAGGING...
And... Well...

Forgive me.

Well, I hate to burst her bubble, but pink is a pretty rare color for lego bricks, those 1x4 curved slopes on the shoulders don't exist in that color

Yeh, it was mostly about the statement

I'm working on a 'mech for a 2D game called Starbound right now, but it has an... "interesting" joint setup.

How is that MadCat coming? Or is it a Timberwolf?

For the Razorback, this is what I have so far...



Kinda stuck on the cockpit. I'm pretty sure you didn't use those blue pegs to fasten the back detail.
The weapon mounts are finished. I just have nowhere to put them.

Bioware picked a crap time to release Mass Effect 3 . Considering my 12 playthroughs of ME2, it might be a while. Sravag.

These things, combined with parts with clips and parts with open studs, make shockingly strong joints for lighter-weight stuff. For example:

Ahh cool. I didn't see those. It's been at least 10 years since I've touched real LEGO blocks, so I have no idea what most of these blocks are

The problem with the joints is that they have a groove that they slide in (if you look closely at the chassis and upper leg.) I'm not sure how to get that in LEGOs.

I have no idea how you built that Razorback...
I give up!

I stumbled across this, thought it was cool. I like to think of it as a wasp LAM.

I built this guy last year, figured I'd see what some connoisseurs think of him.




It was originally highly articulated in the hips and ankles, but it is a little too heavy for the types of joints that are possible without making the pelvis and feet much bulkier, so now it only stands, but I still like it. There's some more pictures over here if you're interested.

ild like to smack you for your use of the green color, but i cant becuase your structure work is fantastic.

lol, why? It wasn't intended as any particular unit of faction, the green was just an excuse for me to buy green bricks, my supply of which is terribly lacking. The tan bits are only tan because one of the joint pieces wasn't available in green, and I didn't want a big block of grey on the outside of the shoulder. The black/dark red stripes on the right torso are a shout to my other IS mechs, which are all dark grey/dark red/black.

Hey, I think I saw this one on Brickshelf a while ago! Funny to see it pop up again here.

Amazing model, by the way. This is BrickCommander quality stuff, right here.

great job
