He'y'all, Two parts to this post, feel free to respond to either or both... part I I'm having trouble with takin pictures, Some times they turn out too dark, sometimes they turn out kind of like they were under candle light, :-) (URL) ideas on (...)

(...) The other use for those is in train bogies - TLC decided to use a chunk exactly the same size & shpae on the sides of their train motor - look here: (URL) (23 years ago, 5-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.arch)

(...) Yeah, but I just really wanted to you all those parts in model. Plus, who says that the "Police" in my universe are just like the present police? ;-) Anyways, I'm glad you like Brian. (...) Mladen Pejic, over and out! (URL) (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Actually I think it looks more like it belongs to the Fire Department than the police (not black and white). That could be a foam cannon. I don't think I've ever seen a firefighting mecha. "K" (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) I do like George's post showing these used as pillars, but you would need a number of them for that. I have only a few of these (a small handful from the pre-minifig era, and then two or three from circa 1980 where the smileys wiped off from (...) (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.minifigs)

Yeah, I think they would be guided, since the mecha only carries two! ;-D I didn't want to place a large missile pod on the mecha, since missiles might cause "collateral damage" in an urban environment. Still, I think I should added (...) (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Thanks Rob! Actually, both of the rifles can move upwards and slightly sideways. The mini-gun can also move up and down, and side to side, slightly. For taking care of bigger, concealed threats, I did in fact add an SRM2 pod on the top. (...) (...) (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Thank you Stuart! (...) Actually, I was mostly inspired by his Fuchikoma, which appeared the Ghost in the Shell [1] manga. I also got some inspiration from the six-legged police tank seen in Ghost in the Shell [2] anime movie. (...) Thanks (...) (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Collaboration... Yeah! That would be awesome. I think our styles (...) (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Thanks Travis! The mini-gun was a last minute sorta thing. I actually envisioned this mecha having six back mounted grenades which were made of those axle pieces. After I saw this would be too large, I started making it smaller. (...) (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Excellent as usual, Mladen. I especially love the underside-- real bug-like, just like Shirow tends to design. It's funny, though-- I know the Shirow piece you referenced, but I don't actually remember a lot of walking tanks actually _in_ GITS (...) (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) I can't speak for the yellow ones but the black (and grey) faceless ones are quite useful to trainiacs. I use 2 black heads in each dummy truck (simulated power truck) I make. And since 3 of my MTW models use at least one dummy truck, I use a (...) (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.minifigs)

Looks like a neat little town, I'll have to check out some of the other pictures. I like what you used for the (...) (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.build.arch)
