(...) Well, let me put it this way... Transformers are a very tough thing to do. While Optimus Prime was a perfect candidate to be built with bricks, others are not always a good idea since it would take a huge scale so that the models, both in (...)

i figured Mark would respond first. Mark don't you describe mechs as being big clunky machines with grease stains and such? Mecha are extremely eye pleasing, like a porsche. Mechs however give the impression of no-frills power, like a Semi-truck. if (...) (21 years ago, 5-Sep-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) It's pretty loose, But I like how one of my friends put it. "It seems to be that mecha tends to imitate life."

I like the bullfrog a lot, although maybe it would look better if the 'bottom lip' didn't stick out - it'd just pull the COG of the cockpit back toward the pelvis a bit. I could be wrong though. Also, the big cannon have beautifully clean lines, and (...) (21 years ago, 4-Sep-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
