Re: WIP need help!
I think for the hip it might behoove you to look up Natalya's spider tank. I'm typing this from a phone so I can't dig up a picture now, but the joints she uses in the tank's legs might be perfect for this application.

Re: WIP need help!
The walker comes from Command and Conquer 3s expansion pack. here is its wiki page http://cnc.wikia.com/wiki/Titan_Mk._IIIs that walker come kind of cross-breed between the BF2142 walkers and the new Hawken mecha?
Alright, Ill take a look at it. Thanks!I think for the hip it might behoove you to look up Natalya's spider tank.

Re: WIP need help!
Here's an update:
I built the second leg and made the joints a little tighter.
here's the back.
This is the joint/gearbox I ended up using. it allows the legs to move only if you turn the black pieces on the top. Took me forever to find those damn spiral gear pieces though.
Nice and small. perfect.
My only concern is the weight being too much and breaking these joints:
not much I can do there though. what do you guys think?

Re: WIP need help!
maybe you should cover them with some sort of flaps, idunno, like pirate flag pieces in gray.

Re: WIP need help!
Those are really weak joints... why not use some kind of TECHNIC connection? Then you'd be able to reinforce the area between the calve and thigh with a few bars.

Re: WIP need help!
I would suggest you rebuild to topmost part of the leg so it points upwards a bit like in the picture.

Re: WIP need help!
You could either triple the connection or, like Keldo said, use Technic pieces.
Also, make sure you really have strong legs because that top chassis looks heavy if you intend to make it that size.

Re: WIP need help!
That's what I'm thinking... I've been looking around mecha hub for ideas.why not use some kind of TECHNIC connection?
hopefully once I rethink these joints it will angle up a little more. I may end up having to rebuild the whole thing though.I would suggest you rebuild to topmost part of the leg so it points upwards a bit like in the picture.
This is something I really did not take into consideration when I first designed the upper part of the leg. I was going more for cosmetics. Ever since I've been thinking on how to make them stronger.make sure you really have strong legs
Edit: Would you guys look down on me if I used glue?

Re: WIP need help!
I wouldn't, but the rest of the forum probably would!
Take care not to glue it so you can't move the leg.

Re: WIP need help!
Oh my God, you want to glue it?! Shame!!
Seriously though, I'm only against gluing things because I genrally move on to other things after I make stuff. This seems like the kind of thing you would want o make permanent, so I understand your wanting to glue it to make it stronger. I say do it, but think it over a lot first.

Re: WIP need help!
I ended up gluing it... BUT it is a lot stronger now and I hope it will be sufficient.
Here's what I ended up with tonight.
Now all that is left is the hardest part...
Back. You can see the glue I used back there.
I like how the chair turned out
There's the lucky guy driving it!
