- Following on from Building a Tachikoma with LEGO 4, this is a story about re-building the Tachikoma that I first built in Building a Tachikoma with LEGO 1. In 4, we made the top half and the carry, so this time we will make the legs.

I was happy to see that the Divide 4 into 3 pattern made the mouth work too (it didn’t in 1), but compared to original, 1 is closer.

- I should have taken a picture in the same pose as the original.

When I was 1, it was Technique Block 1 x 2 - Pin hole 1 + Technique Connector Peg.
- Mouth hole size 4 is closer to the original
- Doesn’t look like it needs to be flipped on the peg.
- The length is a little shorter and closer to the original.
Also, I just realized that the original doesn’t have a wedge plate 3x6 on the bottom, I assumed that’s what both 1 and 4 were.
- Uh, the original is placed 1/2 pitch off.
- I didn’t realize it because I assumed the bottom plate was the same shape.
Hmmm, the 1×3 tiles that underpin the legs are not connected to anywhere… a bit unsettling.
