I like the idea of trying to build gundam-like mechs, but I don't like to disassemble half of my collection to build them. I had just watched Gundam Wing the other day when I had an idea. I was able to make a recognizable (though not very detailed) (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jun-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

I second that emotion Karim. Before I knew how to use LDRAW, MLCAD, L3P, and POV-Ray I thought the same as you Mark and Bryan, but once I learned how to use them it opened up a whole new way to enjoy my hobby, not only would my models have the (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jun-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Mea Culpa. I guess I look at things a little differently (though I see your points). The Designer in me is always interested in pushing the boundaries of what I can do with the fundamental constraints of the Lego Modular Geometry. In my mind, (...)

It's still pretty boxy from the outside, but what I like about it is that the (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jun-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) I've found that "scarring" is generally attributable to one of two things: an insufficiently delicate hand, or an insufficiently sharp blade. When you're removing paint with a blade, use *very* gentle pressure - you'd be surprised at how (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jun-00, to lugnet.build.minifigs)

I've found that a bit o' Brasso on a Q-Tip works better than an X-Acto knife for removing microphones... not as much scarring. It does get tricky in small spaces, so if you trim down the fuzz on the Q-Tip first, it can help. I used this method on a (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jun-00, to lugnet.build.minifigs)

Seeing a photo of an awesome model is always more impressive IMO than seeing an LCAD drawing, especially since LCAD lets you "cheat" and make certain parts in colors (or transparent) that weren't (...)
