Carter’s Design Notes:
Thanks for buying the Werewolf Hardsuit!
This build was designed as an aggressive assault mech for my fictional NATO empire, and a counterpart to the evil Butcher hardsuit.
In order to create a realistic level of detail at a small scale, I used some techniques in this build that the Lego company shies away from.
In order to hold together two 1×1 tiles with a single clip, I recommend first placing the two 1×1 tiles next to each other on a flat surface, then pressing down with the 1×1 clip in between them. Once clipped in, this creates a surprising strong connection, and can be rotated slightly to create the angled armor on the shoulder.
When placing the minifig backpack on the pneumatic T-pin, don’t push the technic half-pin down all the way; instead, allow for a small amount of wiggle room for the backpack. This will make it much easier to attach this assembly to the body of the hardsuit.
I hope you have as much fun building, posing and displaying this model as I have!
