Boxxing boxes today wooo

 

[GMer56]

Been a little busy because MARDUK's ankles were failing for the umpteenth time. So I'm taking this opportunity to build some new legs (installed them yesterday):



Far left: Marduk with a new right leg
Middle: Old right leg removed
Right: New left leg- upside down and to be attached

Yes, that is snow (earlier that day):

 

[GMer56]

Some details about building them legs:

 

[GMer56]

Testing the legs: gotta go fast!

I also had an idea: instead of a mech simulator a fighting game with waifu versions of real-life mechs: kuratas, eagle prime, monkey king, mononofu and the like.

 

[GMer56]

Now we go fast in both directions!

 

[GMer56]

Now with 33% more reach :V

 

[GMer56]

Another break from the mech to work on the powerlegs... fancy!

Adding headlights!

Absolutely insane build! This thing looks huge!

Absolutely insane build! This thing looks huge!

Nearly 12 feet tall. Pretty big. Cockpit is still cramped lol

Currently my powerpants are shorts lol:

 

[GMer56]

Been doing some family stuff, but I managed to get a new set of interchangable punching fists onto MARDUK. Now just a few tweaks and it is showtime! (And I'm all out of metal again lol)



Also some more work on MARDUK-chan.



Planning a Megaman Style game with Mecha Musume totally not based off real-world mecha.

Volume might be low, sorry.

 

[GMer56]

New fists that are better for bashing, and trying out a new thumbnails format for videos!

MARDUK-chan is here!

 

[GMer56]

Fixing that steering issue:

Still goddammit cool, yo GMer56 did you see the replica Unicorn Gundam?

Yup. Next mech will certainly be focusing more on aesthetics once I get the mechanisms down.

Speaking of which, working on powered armpits!

 

[GMer56]

Simplified the power armor a bit.

The nickname for the fiinal first version of these JNKI power pants might end up being "Hulking Dynamo"

 

[GMer56]

Been away from the mech for a while cuz my landlady may have been exposed to covid and refused to quarantine before visiting my house. Such a flagrant disregard for safety makes it worse as she is also my granny so I'm moving back in with my folks (who can use the help).

New workspace with plenty of room means increased productivity: rebuilt Judd McStudd's backpack frame!

 

[GMer56]

Doing some more work in the new diggs... and it actually looks like a workshop instead of a pile of crap in a garage!

Built a new 4-point contact system to hopefully keep the bicep from rolling as the armpit extends.

 

[GMer56]

No more rolling arms!

 

[GMer56]

Arms again!
