This Frame is about the same general size as the red one, but a few bricks taller, and built at the same scale (1 brick and 1 plate is equal to a human or ~6ft). I actually made this frame with all the left over travis bricks and headlight bricks that I didn't use for the red frame. This resulted in a lot of creative problem solving and forcing me to break from the tried and true methods of making arms/legs/joints, because I didn't have very many of those brick left.

 

I have to say though, this is probably my favorite frame. The whole purpose of making it was to have another frame to pose with and get beaten up by the red frame. So I was just throwing pieces together to form really "cheap" connections, by that I mean I was just trying to spread out my plates with clips, my travis bricks, and headlight bricks etc. This resulted in my new favorite hip connection, two travis bricks sandwiched between two plates.

 

This doesn't give a whole lot of back and forth movement to the legs at the hip level, but I found a little way to work around that. I also rationalized the lack of movement with the type of frame that I was trying to build, a fast, mobile, aerial frame. This meant the legs are only really used for stabilizing and landing, so a simpler leg would seem more appropriate.

 

Lastly I thought photographing this would be a huge pain, but it was actually way easier than the red one, which is great because I'm a huge fan of building in mostly grey. I especially love mixing old grey and new grey. I'm also really happy that the light hit that transparent green plate and made it look like the eye is lighting up.
