Help making Scorpion Legs.

[Reno_Tarshil]

I'm working on a Blox - Death Stinger Custom and I'm not shure how to go about making Scorpion Legs using just Blox limbs.

You could just use legs from Cannon Spider.

this sounds like a great idea! I think normal blox animal legs will work neatly, if assembled properly. Anything that goes up, then out, then down, and then add feetpoints to each leg so it walks on a claw.
For example if you took unenlagia's legs, but bent the knee all the way around...

The problem I'm currently having is the weight issue, Like I did my with Blox Seismo I'm trying to build to a same 1:1 scale size. However the legs aren't sturdy enough to hold it up on their own.

[Chuckles]

You mean 1/72 scale. 1/1 scale would be a life-sized zoid, lol. The trick for any model is to distribute the weight of a body in a manner that would allow the legs to support it-- no easy trick for arthropod types since their legs are usually bent and sticking out to the sides of their bodies, but at least you have eight of them to work with.

[Reno_Tarshil]

What I meant by 1:1 was compared to the Death Stinger Model itself.

[Snowflake]

oh of course, you'll never get a zoid's legs to hold it up unless they're utterly inflexible.
Notice Death Stinger, it doesn't walk on its legs, the legs just move while it rolls on wheels. then look at guysack, its legs are totally rigid frames, each with four legs, overlapping.
The only way to actually get scorpion legs to support a zoid would be with some high strength ratchet joints. Otherwise, just let it rest on its belly with its legs pointing up, then back down

EDIT: snowflake's answer pretty much got it.

Just an Update I did some re-tinkering and the Legs are mostly finished.

All that remains are the front claws, the back claws, body gun and the tail.
