(...) I know nothing about these mangas, but this small landmate is pure genious! It was impossible for me at first sight to say it's made of Lego! I thought it was a mini figure, a toy, when I first saw that on BS. Incredible use of Bionicle parts! (...) (20 years ago, 25-Aug-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

I used to think that bipedal war machines had absolutely no advantages over their tank-al equivalents beyond "wow" factor (and face it, getting your enemy to say, "wow, that's cool that they can do that," just before he blows you to kingdom (...)

(...) Yes! This is exactly the point I touched upon in my WTC design paper(1). I've dubbed this type of technique as "mind's eye modeling", which I describe as "creating a model that visually matches or exceeds what a typical person expects to see. (...)

(...) -snip- I'm seeing Shirow cues all over this thing. The feet, the AV sensor "wings" in the back, the head and "ears", the rifle that looks "Swiss", like the rifles Deunan and Bri had in book 2... I think your prototype without the slave arms (...)

(...) Ahhh...O.K. I think I see what you mean/meant. You're talking about a builder-manufactured "microfig" rather than something like the LEGO-manufactured "minifigs". (...) I think you've hit on what I was trying to suggest earlier. That this (...) (20 years ago, 25-Aug-04, to lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)

(...) Um, I feel a little self-conscious after drooling over the ALM-011 on not one but two different Mocpages, but what the heck. It's pretty rare that someone de-lurks with basically a master-class mech, so I feel I have to chime in and say, More! (...) (20 years ago, 25-Aug-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) I am a micro newbie. I followed the general "a micro fig is a 1x1 round" guideline for BrickFest and built a building. It was a total blast to do although in my opinion actually quite difficult to get the desired look. A very intriguing (...) (20 years ago, 25-Aug-04, to lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)

(...) Well my micro creations have varied from about 1:100 to 1:250 or less, so I obviously think that the actual scale is fairly flexible. For instance, though I know some will disagree, I think (URL) comes within my notion of micro. And I think (...) (20 years ago, 25-Aug-04, to lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)

It seems the *convention* (not a standard) espoused by Ashley Glennon and Janey "Red Brick" is that a "microfig" be a 1x1 round cylinder (optionally with a 1x1 (...)

| | 4.5 Foot Tall Clock Tower

This is my latest LEGO architectural piece. It is a fictitious clock tower that is less than minifig scale. It is roughly 33 stories tall (four and a half feet) my tallest LEGO skyscraper yet. The clock is purely aesthetic, it does not function. It (...) (20 years ago, 25-Aug-04, to lugnet.build.arch, FTX)
