Hercules "Rage Upgrade" Elbows

Nice updates. Liking them. As for the back of the knees, since you put a 5mm peg, you can probably have a cover for the back then.

These look really great so far. How much height will the thigh extensions add? Also on the crane arm relocator, is it big enough so that it is equal in height to the top of the back of the crane as it is plugged in?

G.I.EDDIE's right. I like how the cuts are done on the shield extensions...

Echo, can you do a mock up pic of the shield extenders together with the Crane part. Thanks.

G.I.EDDIE · 08-29-2012, 08:18 AM

yup, thats exactly what i was talking about, though not as drastic a cut on the corners closest to the center piece...

Wow, this stuff is looking pretty great. I am definitely interested in seeing how this all turns out, and if it becomes available on Shapeways, or otherwise.

16mm...will check crane height and or mockup...

Thanx for the comments and suggestions...

daimchoc · 08-29-2012, 09:25 PM

I believe Eddie's talking about the bottom.

Want the chest shield extensions and these new leg extensions. Can't wait.

echotransformer · 08-30-2012, 09:43 PM

Thanks guys.

Okay, added a wing with slightly reduced inner chamfers, and examples of the crane mount with the wing extensions attached. Only one combo seems to make a cool sheild (first one)...still haven't quite figured out how to make a nice handle in the sheild without ruining the aesthetics of the crane holder.

In terms of Gatchaman's question, when installed, the black part of the crane will be visible...about 0.200" above the top of the green, and you'll see either side of it. I think teh crane mount would be huge if it covered the black mount. Once installed (and the crane peg is towards the edge of the crane) it will hang down to the bottom of Heavyload's legs, about paralell with the new extensions, conincidentally.
