Hey Eric it's good to have a new mecha builder in the group. I can't do Lcad anything so I'm always impressed by Lcad mechas. The biggest one looks like a good combination of mecha ideas. You've taken some of the "classic" (for lack of a better (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jul-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Hello all! I've been lurking around here for a while and stealing some of your design ideas for mecha. I just recently dusted off my LEGO sets and, not being able to afford one of those Perfect-Grade Gundam models, decided to start making LEGO ones (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jul-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Hi Eric, That is a REALLY big model. I think that the dome seems "round" enough. The scale is so big that the bricks seem to melt into a continuous sheet. The overall building layout looks like it a bit more of a mix of Romanesque and Renaissance (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jul-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.arch)

| | New Domed Cathedral

Well, after a rather longish break from building, I crafted a domed cathedral, somewhat in the style of St. Peter's in Rome. I was mostly striving for large architectural forms, rather than more elaborate details (that, and I got tired of not being (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jul-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.arch)

Hey Y'all: I think I am seeing some new clip flags. Besides the old 2x2, we seem to have at least a couple more of varying lengths. Is there one that is 3 or 4 long? And isn't there an even longer one (I have seen a trans blue one in the Town Space (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jul-01, to lugnet.build)
