(...) The easiest way is to use Technic pins inserted into bottoms of both arches, or the technic pin with stud. Peter (22 years ago, 16-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.arch)
 
  Re: Mech grammar
 
Of course there is also the term Herc. Refering to a design concept found in the Earth Siege/Star Siege Universe. They are more closely related to the Mech of Mechwarrior fame than to the Mecha designs of the Japanese Anime series. I specialize in (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

This is Jesse again and I saw one of your latest creations in the newest LEGO catalog and I knew that your blacksmith shop was going to make it. I did not know how well that it complemented the Guarded Inn but does it ever fit in like a glove! Your (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.military)

There ya go, that is the best answer you could ask for. -Geordan- snips (22 years ago, 15-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
 
  Re: Mech grammar
 
Hmm...As far as I was aware Mech was singular and not indicative of a specific style; with Mecha being the plural. Ye Olde Merriam-Webster's dictionary lists Mech. as being the abbreviated form of Mechanical or Mechanics. Either way though, Lego or (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

  Re: Mech grammar
 
Eric and Geordan are right, according to my what I know. A mecha is pretty much a Anime creation, something like a Mobile Suit or Gundam (MS Gundam) or a Labor (Patlabor). A mecha is a term from Battletech/Mechwarrior, and is short for a Battlemech (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
 
  Re: Mech grammar
 
For the best answer, look at Geordan's and Eric's replies. The two terms really describe two different robot "camps". MECH is almost always used to describe robots from U.S. games such as Mechwarrior, and Battletech (made by FASA (URL) The singular (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
 
  Re: Mech grammar
 
One would use the term 'mech' when one is refering to the design of another builder. The term 'mecha' comes into usage when in reference to a specific style that the 'mech' has (i.e. piloted, worker, assult, ect.) Does that clear things up for you? (...)

I just got an e-mail from Dave, I'm answering it here. I was asked what a few questions and I think I'm supposed to direct my reply here, ok I deleted it by accident! LOL!

That's Great! I'm Glowing! Right on. Thanks all! I am working on a new Technic Fig Scale Mecha and I'm pumped! Whooo Hoooo!!!! Thanks again! Enjoy! Legomaster LMHoF www.mylegomaster.com (22 years ago, 15-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
 
  Re: Mech grammar
 
Hey Rosco! I would say the the terms "Mech" and Mecha" are the same except for the sytle of the Robot in question. Mark Nuemann put it best by saying : Mechs are lumbering giant war machines with grease and oil stains. Mecha are beautiful sculpted (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
 
  Re: Question, opinion, help - Claw Hands
 
Nice! I used the same worm gear set up in my hand design I settled on. Co-inky-dink. Thanks for the input! Eric (22 years ago, 15-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
 
  Re: Mech grammar
 
Mark Neumann has a very good explanation on his page: (URL) = anything here: (URL) = (URL) a mech is more like Battletech, with a large, bulky profile while mecha are usually more sleek in comparison. I'm guessing that the plural form of "mech" (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
 
  Re: Han Solo's blaster
 
Yeah, that blaster is amazing. =^) Stuart has been posting at LUGNET for I think a year and a half or so. Mostly in the mecha section though. He's tied up with non-lego stuff currently so he doesn't have the time to post, but lucky for us, he's (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jul-02, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.build.mecha)
 
  Re: Question, opinion, help - Claw Hands
 
Sorry for the slow reply, but here's a 2 claw hand I built a while back. It's worm gear driven so it's fairly strong. There's an LDRAW DAT file that show how it went together HTH, JSM (URL) Sophie <mylegomaster@cs.com> wrote in message (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
 
  Re: Mech grammar
 
(...) My understanding they mean the same thing, the usage depends on the story context. In Patlabor, the mechs are actually called 'labors' (Patlabor is short for 'Patrol Labor'). Since there are so many mech universes, I think just about anything (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
