EDIT: Here we go! http://www.gundam.org/special/bonus10ka800.jpg :D I love this thing...


Cool! Really cool! :nod: But I still prefer GW0 :D
(then again I'm not that familiar with Gundam universe I guess :p I've seen GW and GX so far)
Habeeb it...

I used pneumatics, as well as spring shocks. I can make it work, but only so long as I can maintain pressure in the reservoir. With leaky rubber tubing, that's only a few days.

The only problem is that there's no place for your mech's toes to have proper hydraulics. We don't see the pistons housings on top of the toes, so they would have to be underneath. They certainly can't go through the toe joint perpindicular to the transit axis. They must be underneath, but the angle of the toe to the foot and the low ground clearance of the center of the foot, means that you would need very tiny pistons or pistons with an extreme transit. We can see no evidence of either. As far as we can see from that render, those toe-tips would have to be actuated by a gear chain or other such contrivance.


I would agree there; that section does seem to weak to support the weight of the whole unit. You could put in a pneumatic piston or two in there, but the resulting weight distribution would be very unbalanced (entire weight would be on the far edges of the toes), which is not too good when trying to make a walking machine. ;)

BTW I am a total lego pneumatics fanatic; I have all of the double-pressure pneumatics sets (1989-present) and multiple copies of some. I use pneumatics in just about all my creations; the things are just awesome. :D The old pressure/suction units were also nice and can come in handy for certain tasks. ;)

Also I forgot to mention this earlier; the render is great, but it needs a title. :p

mmh, yeah, but angels are the sons of adam just like humans are, and if I don't say crap ( I saw the subbed japanese version, as usual), the angels were just... "prototypes" for humans, so basically angels are humans too :D
SCREW CANON!

Well, I've only seen GW and 08th MS Team myself, though I've made it a goal to get a hold of nearly every Gundam mech's statistics I can.  Luckily, a website did that for me.  :D

For any of you who are interested.  Really puts things into perspective as to how large the Gundam universe really is.  :D

Indeed, if you twist the definition of "human" real hard, then they are humans, yes... :D

Hm, indeed. They manage to twist the definition of "twisted" on that thing... :p

If you ever get the chance, do it. Imagine someone broke into Gainax and stole the storyboards for the EVA opening sequences.

Now imagine that they redrew all the Eva's as Nadesicao mecha, and all the characters as Nadesico characters.

They are exactly the same. Its awesome. Somone put together a picture-in-picture EVA/Nadesico opener. The timing is almost to-the-second identical.
[I am not really here. This post is entirely a figment of your imagination.]

 
I dunno about anyone else, but it seems to share its spirit with this:



I know it is not very close structurally, but when I look at them together they just seem so related...

I was actually thinking more of the Titan from TS when I first saw that. ;)

yes, it is, the thing that replaced the humvee (don't ask...)

mmh, it has not much to with either the wolverine, the titan, the mammoth mk2 or the visceroid i think :p
