| (...) I agree. Down with compartmentalized dorkism! There was similar sillines (IMO) in .space when people wanted to come up with standard rules for defining different types of spaceships, ignoring the fact that these MOCs by different builders were (...)

| (...) I was talking to Janey Cook about this very issue just recently; she had told me that some people wished to have some sort of established levels of scale. I told her this idea was silly. What I like most about micro-scale is how free-form it (...) (20 years ago, 24-Aug-04, to lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)

Its a common concept seen in Sci-fi novels, although Lenny's is ridicolously out of (...) (20 years ago, 24-Aug-04, to lugnet.build.microscale)
| | | | | Re: Tanks or Power Armor
|
| (...) That entirely depends on what technology you want to speculate on. Power armor would require an incredibly powerful and small power source. I suppose that is a given if you are saying that power armor would exist. The problem with power armor (...) (20 years ago, 24-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

|
| Hi all, I've been poring over pictures by "scrope" in this folder: (URL) great stuff! I really need to build more at this scale. To me, the best of show is this train station: (URL) built that? Was it a COLTC group creation, or was it an individual? (...) (20 years ago, 24-Aug-04, to lugnet.build.microscale)
| | | | | Re: Tanks or Power Armor
|
| (...) In the storyline I've been "working up" for twenty years now (!!), in fact, I do use both. Part of the reason is that I tend to think that bipedal combat machines would have to develop very high levels of flexibility and survivability before (...)

| (...) For what it's worth, I think that'd be fun, and I'd probably enter too. But I'm just a newbie... how do these things work? Who hosts a contest, and how is it generally run? Best, - Joe (20 years ago, 24-Aug-04, to lugnet.build.contests)
| | | | | Tribute to Masamune Shirow
|
| As a fan of Masamune Shirow and Appleseed I always wanted to build a Landmate. It was a bit tricky to keep it close enough to scale. I am mostly pleased with the results but I will keep trying to improve it. I was working on prototypes for (URL) (...) (20 years ago, 24-Aug-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Tanks or Power Armor
|
| (...) Another thought is maintainability and cost. Consider that WWII Germany was able to produce several tank destroyers for the cost of a single tank, simply because the expense of the turret went away. As the end of WWII approached and money (...)

| | | | | Re: Tanks or Power Armor
|
| (...) Those are all powerful advantages but I think that tanks are more efficient at providing an armored and enclosed area because they're closer to a spherical shape than a power suit, and because they get mass fraction advantages. Anecdotally: (...) (20 years ago, 24-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Tanks or Power Armor
|
| (...) I think so. Since a tank (I'm talking about real life MBTs, not hovertanks) is firmly situated on the ground, it is a more stable firing platform. Also, even if powersuits are eventually developed, I doubt that they will be able to carry the (...) (20 years ago, 24-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Tanks or Power Armor
|
| (...) I think tanks will still remain useful as siege weapons, spearheading assaults, and general heavy battle. Power armor might be very useful for surgical strikes, and urban warfare. But in an open field, or over long distance, I think tanks will (...) (20 years ago, 24-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

| Hello everyone. I was checking out (URL) Ryan Wood's Jade Empire Hong Hovertank post> and he mentions that we have seen little in ground combat vehicles other than (URL) power suit>.

If my math is not way out of whack, I think that would mean that a minifig represents a 'real' person that's about seven and a half feet tall. :) I think, depending on who you talk to, minifig scale is (...)

|
| This isn't my favorite BIJoe model, but it's stil pretty cool. Neat decals as usual. Every little bit of playability you fit into your mocs is, I'm sure, the result of minutes/hours of tinkering with bricks. The engine swivel is pretty neat, in fact (...)
