Malcolm, can you answer a question for me about the MgN's shield attachement?
16:15
< Malcolm>
Is it about the existential nature of the piece?
16:15
< Malcolm>
Or just how it's built?
16:16
< Malcolm>
But, yes.
16:16
< addking>
more of a 'how the hell does that work?'
16:16
< Malcolm>
Errr....in what sense?
16:16
< addking>
specifically http://www.flickr.com/photos/jed_september/5623825431/in/photostream/ that shield?
16:16
< Malcolm>
Oh, and which one exactly are we talking about?
16:16
< Malcolm>
Aha
16:17
< addking>
I could 'cheat' it with a 2x2 double sided megablock, but I wondered what your solution was
16:17
< Malcolm>
Really simple actually. Give me a couple of minutes and I'll find out what the bit are on bricklink
16:18
< addking>
Thank you kindly sir.

So, the main part is two of these: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=43719
16:21
< Malcolm>
Held together by the two 1x4 tiles you see.
16:22
< Malcolm>
Then on the back, is one of these: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=48336
16:22
< Malcolm>
That the hand of the frame holds
16:22
< addking>
ah, it fits into the "gap" in the shield backing
16:22
< Malcolm>
The slight downward angle of the 48336 piece handle is accomodated by sitting the gap left behind the 1x4 tiles
16:22
< Malcolm>
yes, that's it!
16:23
< Malcolm>
So, it is fixed to the wedge piece, but the handle nestles in the gap
16:23
< Malcolm>
So there is just enough space for a clip to fit round it
16:24
< addking>
excellent. I have about 4 shields of slight different builds from mgn pics but I couldn't find a piece that attached but and didn't stand off the arm too far.
16:24
< addking>
whoops one too many words: either but or and. not both.
16:24
< Malcolm>
Yeah, the hinge of the arm will actually sit slightly in the gap, if you agle it so
16:24
< Malcolm>
angle, not agle
16:26
< addking>
I put together an MgN in my landmate colors (grey/dk grey/yellow) to go with the both of them.

< addking>
guess i need to fix a shield here, and then decide on a backpack style.
16:27
< addking>
thanks again.
16:27
< Malcolm>
No worries, happy to help
