Ok, so I made a frame, but I'm actually crazy self conscious so I'm not posting it in the forums yet.

Hi afny
20:10
< afny>
o/
20:11
< Draxy_work>
So I made a thing, but I'm afraid to share in public yet and of course I posted the link about 3 minutes after you'd disconnected
20:11

20:11
< afny>
colloquy keeps crashin
20:11
< afny>
whoa, I like it
20:12
< afny>
the only thing I'm not sold on are the feet
20:12
< Draxy_work>
I made a smaller version too, as this guy is a little on the large side, but it looks less good
20:12
< afny>
the whole chest/head area is sweet
20:12
< Draxy_work>
Yeah, I was basing the design on a mech in the inspiration thread, and he had cool feet, mine did not turn out so well
20:13
< Draxy_work>
http://www.mobileframehangar.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=1088#p4300
20:13
< Draxy_work>
Right side
20:14
< afny>
oh, nice
20:14
< afny>
yeah, it's got a lot of that flavor
20:14
< afny>
hm, I'd maybe try something with a clip tile and handlebars?
20:14
< afny>
or even a horizontal clip plate
20:15
< afny>
I think going for a smaller footprint will look cooler if you can't get that exact hoof look
20:15
< Draxy_work>
Actually, I did some feet for the first frame I made (which I should also share) that might work
20:15
< Draxy_work>
I need a pic of that one though
20:16
< Draxy_work>
What are these clip plates you refer to? I'm new to some of the lego terms as I've just done this casually for a long time
20:16
< afny>
um
20:16
< afny>
like a 1x1 plate
20:16
< afny>
with a clip off the side
20:16
< Draxy_work>
Oh oh
20:16
< afny>
a clip tile is like a 1x1 tile with a clip instead of a stud
20:16
< Draxy_work>
Like in this guys chest
20:17
< Draxy_work>
gotcha
20:17
< afny>
or also
20:17
< afny>
one of those 1x2 plates with a click hinge
20:17
< afny>
can give you a nice big two-toe look
20:18
< Draxy_work>
Hrm, I thought of that one, but this guy is big and those feet looked a little small on him
20:18
< Draxy_work>
the 1x2 click hinge toe
20:18
< afny>
yea
20:19
< afny>
my biggest mech uses those as feet (with the hinge as the heel)
20:19
< afny>
but like I said I prefer a smaller footprint, and that mech is a bit more humanoid than yours
20:19
< Draxy_work>
Aye, kk, I'll play with that some
20:20
< afny>
oh
20:20
< afny>
you could also do something like you have now
20:20
< Draxy_work>
I actually did a neat little foot for the smaller version of this guy, here let me share that.
20:20
< afny>
but instead of using bricks to connect the two tiles
20:20
< afny>
you could use a ring plate
20:20
< afny>
it'd look pretty much the same, but the feet would be slimmer
20:21
< Draxy_work>
Thats what i did for the small guy
20:21
< Draxy_work>
with 1x2 tiles instead
20:21
< afny>
ah, cool
20:22
< huhwhozat>
nice draxy
20:24
< Draxy_work>
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B5F9zgqIjHTpUWFpdXpGNGFSVDA
20:24
< Draxy_work>
I like this guy less, but he's smaller and has those feet
20:24
< afny>
hm
20:24
< afny>
I'd like to see what it looks like with 1x1 tiles
20:27
< huhwhozat>
I think the leg connection on the small guy should move up the toso, where those cheese slopes are
20:27
< huhwhozat>
and add a little length to the legs
20:27
< huhwhozat>
to compensate
20:29
< huhwhozat>
hmm
20:29
< huhwhozat>
those toes would be hard to replicate
20:32
< afny>
hm
20:32
< afny>
I kind of wanted to build
20:32
< afny>
but I think I might be out of juice
20:46
< Draxy_work>
Now I want to get home and tweak those feet
20:47
< Draxy_work>
and take a pic of my first frame
21:24
< huhwhozat>
hokay
21:24
< huhwhozat>
in 30 min I'll go on and sort thru my photos and actually post my dude
21:25
< huhwhozat>
s
21:33
< Draxy_work>
I'm off for a while, back on tonight. Later!

argh
22:24
< afny>
I want to make a grappler ship but the only way I can think to do it is with the old style tube hinges
22:48
< huhwhozat>
grappler ship?
22:48
< huhwhozat>
like, as in latches on to other ships?
22:49
< huhwhozat>
btw, photos up! I'll make better descriptions later
22:50
< huhwhozat>
also made sure not to spam the group this time
22:52
< afny>
a grappler ship like from
22:52
< afny>
outlaw star
22:52
< afny>
a ship so badass
22:52
< afny>
that it has a handgun.
22:56
<~McMartin>
Obligatory http://pbfcomics.com/186/
23:00
< afny>
yes.
23:01
< afny>
every time I see this comic
23:01
< afny>
I see green's face
23:01
< afny>
he knows he's next.
23:01
<~McMartin>
yup
23:05
< huhwhozat>
oh wow
23:05
< huhwhozat>
I'd love some critique on the company I just posted: http://www.flickr.com/photos/huhwhozat/
