Building a Tachikoma with LEGO 3

leg

I didn't have a blue plate 1×1, so I used transparent orange to make it flashier.

hand (of cards)

The joint at the base does not appear to be this one, but I don't know what it is.

Heads of side stud blocks face the root side, but cones the other way around.

Inverted by pin.

I changed the position of the pin, is this better?

At first I didn't realize the top half was through and thought there were three 30 degree slopes.

I didn't know how to fix it, so I wrote on Twitter and they told me.

But I'm still not sure how to fix all three eyeballs in this small space.

Another side stud would cause the left and right T's to collide.

Forgot to buy blue dish and sticks.

This looks good on the outside, but how the heck do you fix it?

It's not impossible...

Carry side handle

I tried putting it on the side of the side stud block because the dish wouldn't stick against the top of the 2x2, but this doesn't add up.

Write a description and notice the solution.

I made the mistake of forgetting to buy a blue 1×1 slope (ugh).

It looks good at first glance, but when compared to the original, it is very different.

Tiles stick out compared to the original.

The original does not appear to have a difference of one panel in the red round.

These two are in essence saying that the middle four rows are sticking out too far, or should I change them to brackets?

https://gyazo.com/1fc24843c345a7842477f2188e0711e1

I switched to brackets and it got better.

Side 1 x 4 curved ramps lower than original

This is due to the low stud position of the side studs

On the other hand, brackets would leave a horizontal gap.

https://gyazo.com/28df5b379d6d0b117958691c11dab51f

Good height, but gaps in lateral direction

Oh, right, this is due to the fact that you're using the second side stud, so just use the first one.

At the time of the photo, the red round was being supported by the first side stud, so it was the second.

https://gyazo.com/1b6df3854e3a4ff81247b7f3d40a191b

Hmmm, now there's a gap here...

TODO What to buy

gilding the lily

Blue stick (what's your name?)

Blue 1 x 1 plate

Blue 1 x 1 slope: sold out

Blue 1 x 6 plate

Blue 2 x 2 center studs 3 pcs.

Use at the base of the hand for 2 degrees of freedom.

This would be a simpler solution.

I wonder if this could be used to make a three-fingered hand.
