  My First Space Mech
 
Hello everyone, it's been a while since I posted anything, so I decided I'd share my first Space World creation with you all. It's Vincent Gage's Mech (name subject to change :). You castle-heads will know who Vincent is, but for everyone else, he's (...) (24 years ago, 15-Aug-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.castle, lugnet.space)  
 
  Re: gun1 project
 
Hmmm. Sounds like a great idea. I've tried making pressurized peashooters (actually, spitwad) with LEGO without much luck. I'll give that some thought. Thanks! Randy -- Randy Anchikoski randy@viclug.tzo.com "David A." (...) (24 years ago, 15-Aug-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: gun1 project
 
Thanks for the comments. I'm going to shut down the server for a few minutes as of this post (my cable provider's DHCP server is dead, and my main site is down, so I want to reboot and try to get it up). VicLUG server is on the same machine, so it (...) (24 years ago, 15-Aug-00, to lugnet.build)
 
  Re: gun1 project
 
Thanks! The grey pieces came from 6339 Shuttle Launch Pad and I guess a few Y-Wings. I intend to make a few more of these things as time goes by. Just got a new job, however, so it may be a while until time is free again. L'8er! Randy Michael Firman (...) (24 years ago, 15-Aug-00, to lugnet.build)

  Re: Female mecha
 
(...) Well, maybe... Maybe I'm biased because I think of the Queadlunn-Rau I associate it with the female pilots, but when you see it move, it is definitely female, IMHO. And when compared to the male Zentraedi mecha, it seems to me to be very (...) (24 years ago, 15-Aug-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)
 
  Re: Female mecha
 
(...) Yeah, that's it. I totally blanked. I loved that game at one point, even had the (greatly inferior) home version for the Sega. eric (24 years ago, 15-Aug-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

  Re: Female mecha
 
I think Mark is referring to mecha that is anthropomorphically female, not mecha that is piloted by a female. The Queadlunn-Rau armor, while designated as female armor, doesn't look female or make you think of the female form. But I'm a Macross (...) (24 years ago, 15-Aug-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)
 
  Re: gun1 project
 
Truly amazing! Where do you get so many grey pieces from? Maybe you could now build a complete arsnel- grenades, machine guns, handguns, ammo belts etc. Mike (24 years ago, 15-Aug-00, to lugnet.build)

  Re: Bridget
 
(...) Because we can't get the laser technology to work properly yet, but the Navy is currently funding major research & development programs to figure out how to do just that. It's no more blue-sky than supercavitating machine-gun bullets. --Karim (24 years ago, 15-Aug-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)
 
  Re: Bridget
 
(...) Nope. It is somewhat translucent to it, to a range of somewhat less than 500 ft. Otherwise, why do you think that we still work with SONAR for detection of subs? James (24 years ago, 15-Aug-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

(...) Seawater is moreor-less transparent to a properly tuned blue/green lasers, so there would be little/no attenuation. No moving parts to corrode in the saltwater, and no ejection ports to get gummed up by oceanic detritus. --Karim (24 years ago, 15-Aug-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

My all-time favorite female mecha is the Zentraedi Queadlunn-Rau power armor from Macross/Robotech: (URL) you've ever seen this in action, you'd think so too ;) (note that the mecha is only about twice as tall as the fmale pilot... its a tight (...)
