Hey all, I have just put some finishing touches on this site, and I feel that it is ready for prime-time. It is my pleasure to announce my Stickfig-scale mecha wallpaper: (URL) for your perusal are three wallpaper-sized images depicting some of my (...)

(...) All the wallpaper and view backgrounds are POV-generated. With the exception of Convoy, they were modeled in MLCad and then L3P'd with the other models. For Convoy, I used Terragen -- though if I were to do it again, I'd just use the pattern (...) (23 years ago, 27-Mar-01, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

The Convoy wallpaper is breathtaking! Excellent job Jeremy! But I gotta ask: Are you going to do any mini-fig scale models (i.e. Valkyries, and other mecha from Robotech) in the future? (...) (23 years ago, 27-Mar-01, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

(...) Thank you, Mladen. :-, (...) Maybe. :-, I'm in a Stickfig mood right now though... I have about a dozen unpublished models, and maybe 5 or 6 scene sketches, that I need to cram into wallpaper before I switch modes.

Hi Jeremy, I'm glad you posted this to .announce, or I would have missed it! I just spent about 45 minutes tearing through my parts bins to build a "A91 Heavy Tactical Suit, Kasperic Custom", or as close as I could get to it. I was able to get (...)

Great work Sproat! I'm really impressed with the design of some of these models. I am also impressed with the quality of the rendering. Did you use l3p for this? Those parts look better than the ones l3p outputs. One other comment, 1600x1200!! I (...) (23 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

WOW! Those are fabulous, especially considering the constraints imposed by their small size. The A44 and A66 are my favorite and the A93 reminds me of the Tead from Mospeada (Called the Beta in Robotech, The new Generation). Boy, creating models (...)

The LGEO integration makes a *HUGE* difference and provided the push I needed to proceed; (...) (23 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

(...) Yah, I like the A44 too -- I've always liked the big MAC-whatever (sorry, forgot the name :-) in Macross. The A44 started as a sketch for that, but then quickly developed a personality of its own. Mebbe I'll model it later, mebbe someone will (...)

(...) You can see a side stud of that one poke downwards in this view: (URL) above that is the 1x1 technic brick on its side. The 1x1 brick headlight is on its back somewhere behind the 5-stud. Cheers, - jsproat (23 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

I'm getting a 404 on (URL) as long as I'm on this thread, great work. Not just on the scene composition, which is superb, but also on the creations themselves. I quite like the legs on the A66. Also, the hands on the A93 are great. Very powerful (...) (23 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)
