|
| (...) Nice ship, way bigger than I thought at first glace. Impressive. I really like the engine area. The mecha are also very nice. I don't like the sides as much: I like using plates as walls myself, and I also actually like some bare surfaces, but (...) (20 years ago, 19-Apr-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Although it is a *bit* unrefined, I see great potential for future designs based on it. The (...) (20 years ago, 19-Apr-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

|
| Well, I'm back again and with a new mecha, the ogre. It started as a study to try and make a mecha that could hold rifles like a human would. I began by building an arm.I tried to give good shoulder mobility, as well as tons of elbow twist range. (...) (20 years ago, 18-Apr-04, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Many of your thumbs are not very helpful at actually determining what they take (...) (20 years ago, 14-Apr-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Since they were so small we figured the distortion wouldn't be that bad, compared to simply clipping the image. (This is all automatic of course. So cropping on (...)
