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.
  • https://www.brickers.jp/?mode=cate&cbid=1067304&csid=20&page=2
  • I’d buy four 2x2s and two 1x2s.
• 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.
    • Technique Block 1 x 1

I like this one best for the legs.

  • Is Dish stabbing T-pipe?
    • 
    • grill I’m using it. It’s cool.
    • 
    • https://www.brickers.jp/?pid=24384699
    • I have the grill on hand if it’s black or gray.
  • 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 wonder if Axis-Ball will work.
  • I’m not sure about the base of the foot side either.
    • 
    • Where do the balls grow from?
      • I wonder if Axis-Ball is stuck in “Technique Block 1 x 2 - Cross Shaft Hole”.
    • 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. - 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 $60partwiththree$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.
    • Round Plate Plate 2 x 2 Round Bottom

• 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.
