You monster! :shock:

How could you say such a thing about peach heads. They deserve the same rights as yellow members of the lego community. Saying that a minifig is bad because of its peach skin is like saying your bad because your from Austria. Minifigs don't get a choice of whether or not they are peach, so don't hold it against them. :x

(on the peach discussion above me)I don't mind peaches but there not right when you have a squad of yellow then a peach odd one out.
And anyway yellows are classic. 8)

Yeah I never really liked them the don't really fit in the Lego world they are kinda like the bit soft candy bars that come out of the candy machine, you still eat them but don't really enjoy them.

This thing looks a lot like an AT-ST or AT-RT from Star Wars, so I'd suggest looking those up on Brickshelf, and seeing how people put the legs together. I'm going to assume that is the part you're hung up on, because they are one of the more difficult features on most walkers.

Image

I looked up some images on google, and from the looks of them, you've got to choose if you want the top open or not, and what sort of chin-mounted weapons you're going to put on it. One model that had a chain saw slung underneath caught my eye, but I'm not sure how practical that is on a light assault walker.

Image

Oh, and I love the exhaust pipes on the back of this thing, it's like they took them straight of an 18-wheeler semi truck. Very steampunk.

What you found is a Steel Legion Sentinal,Which fights in Ash wastes,and a Catachan Sentineal,Which fights in jungels,hence the chain-saw.And yeah,i did give up on the legs.I think we should try the Catachan one first,since it donsnt have to be sealed.And it has that chainsaw.

WTF triple post?!

I know how that happened.
Often, literally, a pillow fight but may include similar situations like volleyball, particularly when wardrobe is skimpy and the action is bouncy.

depends, do you want it scale to this, bigger or larger

anyway look around a little. I just dug up this and it looks about right if you've got the parts.

I'm not sure if this is a building technique or if you're asking for building instructions. This is IV's thread though, and my interpretation of his words don't mean jack. If you were to ask me how to make a mechanical fixture, I'll give it a try.

That thing doesn't look a whole lot bigger than a SW AT-RT, so start with that. The other giant misconception about mech legs is that they have to be able to be very pose-able. What you'll find is that it's more important to be able to sustain a weighty cockpit than it is to have it pirouette. Go look at brickcommander for a while and see what he does for legs.

And finally, there's no need to quote someone who posted right above you unless you really want to dissect what they said into tiny, edible, error-heavy strips.
