Building a Tachikoma with LEGO 2
This time, we only discuss and order. Next time Building a Tachikoma with LEGO 3.
Next, I would like to improve the carry part with reference to 3x3 plate belly Tachikoma.
I'll make it with 4 or 5.
- reverse slope has 1x2 and 2x2
- Two of both is all that is needed.
- https://www.brickers.jp/?mode=cate&cbid=1069349&csid=0
- The top is Slope Curve 1 x 4 Double, but the blue one is sold out.
- We don't have a lot of regular blue parts on hand either.
- Lots of 1x4 plates only.
- 2x4, 2x3, 1x2, 1x3 plates
- 1x2-4 block
- I wonder how many we need.
- Also need red transparent 1x1 panel
- Do you want two, four, or a 1x2 panel?
- The 90 degree conversion for the dish on the side is not likely to be a front light.

- 1x1 block technique Pinhole?
- Is that necessary? Is headlight sufficient?
- Dish is 2x2
- The one that grabs, there are many if you don't ask about the color, but maybe there wasn't a blue one...
- The person being grabbed also needs to be
- Vertical clip and handle
- I like the fact that the root of the gatling is 1x1...

- But mine is even, so I'll have to get creative.
I like this one best for the legs.

carry
- Is Dish stabbing T-pipe?
- Slope curves seem to be used in abundance for rounded forms.

- I can't read what kind of structure...
- You haven't acquired a vocabulary of curved surface representation because you don't have many slope curves on hand to begin with.
leg
- Curves are slope curve 1x4

Four for now.
- Are the tires connected by "Plate 1 x 2 - end small ball socket"?
- I can get about four ball sockets out of my hand.
- The problem is the tire side, how it's connected.
- I'm not sure about the base of the foot side either.

- Where do the balls grow from?
- On top of that Slope Curve 2 x 2?
- I'm thinking "Bracket 1 x 2 / 2 x 2 - Reverse]" to convert it, plus a slope curve.
- I'm not even sure how it's connected to the torso.
How the eyeballs are fixed at an angle is also a mystery.

- Slope looks like 30 degrees, but it doesn't stick.
- Slope 30°- 1 x 2 x 2/3
- Don't tell me the white circle on the side is holding it down?
- No, the side eyes don't have the white circles on the sides, so that's different.
- No way... glue...
- Well, it's not a lot of money since it's only a $60 part with three $20 ones attached.
- If I can't come up with a solution, so be it.
- I was wondering if the white part of the eyeball is a tile or a dish without studs, but I see the bottom part of this.
The small eye root on the side is Side stud block, not headlight, maybe.
- Side Stud Block Block 1 x 1 - 1 Side Stud
Gatling's part

- I think the root is a ball joint, but if you connect the ball to the cross axis, the rounds would be scuffed, so I'm not sure if it's a pin.
