>>9871083>Step 1: Buy very ordinary 3 in 1 set>Step 2: Build mechReally though it depends on the scale and style of what you want to build and if you're better off building a skeleton to build stuff onto, or having the body itself be the structure.
First thing i'd do is get a rough idea as to what style of mech you want (humanoid, chicken walker etc) and lay out your joints, decide if you're going to use big bionicle ball joints, the smaller ball joints, hinges, ratchets, technic etc
Then just build the functional guts of it, get it standing, figure out it's range of motion, stance, centre of gravity and then figure out the shapes and details you want and start trying to incorporate them.
