It looks a little like it IMO.
Anyway I would like some input on my latest creation: The Star Wars All
Terrain Personal Transport.

Heck, yeah... it may be Star Wars, but I think it still qualifies as a
mecha.

Question: Do the joints move?

Sure it's mecha...

Wow! I love the way you did the joints, very creative! I also like the upper
body, and the front chin mounted laser cannons, great job!

Questions:

Did you build it in real life?
Are the joints strong?
What is that thingy in the back (a door?)?

Mladen Pejic, over and out!

Nope sorry,
Because I didn't want to use the click-hinges the joints are solid.
Although the leg-body and foot-lower leg connections do move.

Thanks

Questions:

Did you build it in real life?
All parts were built in real life although I just built one leg and one side
of the body. I had to build it because I didn't know if everything would fit.

Are the joints strong?
Absolutely! although the foot-lower leg connection uses a click-hinge (which
is not that strong) the rest of the legs can support over 5 times the body-
weight

What is that thingy in the back (a door?)?
I've used window-shutters with louvers (sp?) but for some reason PovRay didn't
render the louvers. I thought it would look cool (Something like a ventilation-
thingy).
Greetz,
Jay
