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)

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)

Hey Steve, CO2 is a good idea, but how do you set them off? I've only seen C02 in those little pellet gun-sized cartridges and paintball gun cartridges. That's definitely something to think about as the MegaBloks plate got a bit melted from the (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jun-00, to lugnet.build)

I agree with you Steve. I like most of the mechs I've seen, but I like them much better if the pictures are real and not just computer generated renderings. I realize that creating a cad version of a lego model often takes as much or more effort (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jun-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)
