Question / Discussion Looking for Tips and Tricks
Hey all,
This is my first mech (without) instructions and I would love some feedback, all kinds I'm not soft lol, and any tips or tricks would be so very appreciated.
I'm limited to what I have in my Rebricable collection, SuperDaddio, is my username if you want to see the sets I have.
My main issues, as I'm sure the master builders here will see right away, is that my "hips" aren't strong enough at all to hold the weight from the upper body and I don't even have the arms on it yet. Or even built for that matter lol, plus I need to figure out how to attach them.
The last pic in the series is some ideas I have. I'm going to use the glass canopy as the new front of the mech, I'm going to try to make the black circlular piece as the bottom of the other leg, the black and red wing shaped things I was thinking of using as wings, but I think it'll be way to heavy, so maybe I'll use them as the other leg.
I'm also going to add braces from the center of the mech's "skirt" and have them angle down to give the legs another anchor point to try and strengthen them so they won't bend in, using technic pieces.
So, any help at all would be immensely grateful. I might have bit a bit more off than I can chew with this one, especially as my first lol.
Thank you Master Builders foe your time.
