Frame Evolution: Egg Walker 2

Hard to believe it's only been three weeks since the first Egg Walker post.  I've made a few more of them since then.  I have three regular versions and one tall one in the standard white with accents color scheme.

I've made enough of these that I've actually run out of White 2x2 Round Tiles.







Plus one tall one in black.  This one actually has Attachments!  I'd stat this one up as 2Rd+8 (gun) /2B (shield) /2W.  Flickr page.







I also have a new version that has movable legs.  It also has a redesigned cockpit area and the legs are slightly different beyond the fact that they can be moved.  Flickr page.




Here we see the beginnings of "Over Easy Company".  They're not fully equipped, but I'm working on it.

Frame Evolution: Egg Walker

Recently, as in this week, I put together a quick frame design.  I had a stack of Lampholders in white so I decided to use them as the core of my build.


This is what happened.  20 Lampholders and a smattering of other parts and we have a frame.  The legs don't move.  They do have the illusion of movement though which is really all that is necessary.

But I wasn't happy with the arms.  Flickr page.








I swapped the arms out for something a little more flexible.  I don't have all that many 1x4 Hinge Plates though, so I can't really mass-produce this design.  That's what I really want because it's grown on me and I think it's fun.  Flickr page.



After some discussion on the Hangar and a great suggestion by MRaichelson, I arrived at this point.  I now have three fully built and a few more under construction.  Flickr page.

The next step is to formulate attachments and create stations.  When I have those finished I'll make another blog post.

Did I mention they also qualify for MittenNinja's 3T Challenge?
