Hahaha, i agree there.

Maybe.... is this an:

- Orgy?

Disenfranchised as well. Here's your bump.

Cheers. It does get mildly annoying when you're faced with lack of punctuation (especially one of my pet peeves), and (possible) abbreviation like this

At last a question on the why of such a drastic albeit theatrical rending:

Because the entire leg and joint needed to be expanded widthwise starting with the knee disc. I am expanding the disc 2 MM thicker (not in diameter) which then requires the upper leg to be likewise widened a minimum of 2 MM. From there I'll have to see if that is satisfactory when assembled to the shortened and widened lower leg section. I shall have shortened the lower leg 1 inch (25.4 MM) because it appears too long in the preceding images. Before I commit myself to re-gluing the assembly I'll post what I have done for a round robin critique.

The trick will be to overall widen the whole leg and slightly shorten it without making it look too stumpy and ungainly when all the external bitz are added.

cut and tacked this together this morning and attempted a side by side comparison. An inch removed may be too much mebbe 3/4 inch but definitely the joint and upper leg is greatly improved.

I see. very good, Black. is the entire lower leg getting widened or just the section you have shown?

Is there a link to plans or a download for schematics for this?

Sorry, too tired to trawl 15 pages

Im gonna build this thing if I can find the plans, prob on my holidays in Sept

Black approves of your interest but to save him the time and rant. No,no plans other than his sketches that he has already shared.

How do you like that, my thread is self-sustaining!

I can just sit back and watch it evolve.

Rant????????????

“There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it.”

George Bernard Shaw

or even better:

from the spirits that I called
Sir, deliver me!

J.W.Goethe

Well I suppose the term rant was used a little liberally there.....


but rather me tell him than you interupt greatness to say it a fourth time.......

Sweet mother of

Wow man, i'd like to see the enemys face when you slap that bad boy on the table.

Wana see more...........

To be honest, my face would be along the lines of 'what are feet going to do?'

I think one foot would wipe out anything....well almost.

Hey Blackadder, are you going to sell it, or keep it?

Just saw your post 2 days ago was wondering if i need to make one now

I spent the entire weekend revamping the lower legs making them wider and a half inch shorter. I cut down the radius of the hip and decreased the front to back measurement of the upper legs and and sheathed the whole all the while remodeling the bath which somehow takes precedence?

They look awesome man, Hows the bathroom getting on

Thats the question you ask?



Black, that is looking sweeter than a Swiss chocolate makers factory!!! Keep it up my good sir!

I cant put into words how cool this is.

Hey a question is a question; I'm replacing the woodwork in the bath with colonial plastic moulding which is rot resistant and a durable uniform semi-gloss white in colour which I hope will give years of trouble free service.

Now from an objective standpoint before I apply the detail; does the hip radius look correct or is it still too big in diameter? Something isn't right but I can't put my finger on it.

I think Black, if possible, you should do a mock up of the proposed hips. as only that way will you get a true feel whether its right or not.

To my eye it looks as right as it can for what is built so far. but beyond that I can't say much more as in the end its your baby, and only you can bring to life what is in your minds eye. I also realise that your basing this on the BOLS warlord titan, but there is a lot of your own thought process going into this that clearly isn't in the BOLS one.

Hope that helps in some way Black.

i think it looks good so far
