 | | Re: Has Lego begun producing "war toys"?
|
| Hi all, A good, intelligent, and civil debate here, I'm sorry I didn't see it earlier. There is no doubt that LEGO has moved away from their diehard position against violent toys. I'm not sure the new Agents line is really any more military looking (...) (17 years ago, 5-Feb-08, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build.military)

| My next Lego landmark: St. Peter's Basilica. Or should I say a cathedral based on St. Peter's Basilica? Clearly the colors are wrong but that was a matter of economics coupled with the amazing pieces I found at the Disney pick-a-brick. Also, by (...)

| Hey, this is a good one! Is that tan, or dark tan or something? I like those white slopes too! I started to realize more about this build when I looked at the pictures of the side view. Good work! Eric Sophie (17 years ago, 7-Feb-08, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| (...) Thanks, Richie As far as the shoulders, they were made oversized on purpose. There are a couple of old Battletech designs such as the Charger, Griffin, and the Hatamoto that had armor baffles on their shoulders. Glad you liked it!! -Jon (17 years ago, 7-Feb-08, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| | | | | Re: New mecha: Tyr
|
| (...) Nice work, Jon! I particularly like the choice of colours - subtle, but interesting. One minor criticism: the shoulders seem a little broad, a studs width of two off each side would help, I think. Spotlighted! Cheers Richie Dulin (17 years ago, 7-Feb-08, to lugnet.build.mecha)
