| Troy, Excellent rework to finish a great start on a MOC. Good job taking the pointers people gave ya and making a better MOC. You are now ranked PCS Mecha Commander. (ya it don't mean nothin, just build more space!) ~^- (URL) ~^- Admiral Giddens <>< (...) (20 years ago, 30-May-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

I wish I had my references to hand, but here's what I'm given to understand from my background: "Mark" refers to the point in progressive development where a system or piece of equipment is "frozen"--sort of like the "high water mark" or the (...)

| (...) It's short for "Mark" which is a term that's been used for at least 150 years in the military (and elsewhere?) to denote advances or upgrades. As to where it originates, I am not sure. Maybe something to do with marking progress? Definition 7C (...) (20 years ago, 30-May-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| (URL) Very cool. I'm impressed that you took the feedback you recieved and used it. Most people just wimper or get hostile. The model really looks great and benefited from the remake. I dig it. Help me out, though. Everyone throws this 'mk' stuff (...) (20 years ago, 30-May-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| (...) The wrists are like that because I wanted the extra axis of rotation. Even so, I'll have the Blacktron Discipline Squads rough up my chief engineer a little for good measure. There are some clearer pics in my brickshelf folder (see previous (...) (20 years ago, 29-May-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| After going back to the drawing board, the engineers threw out the mid-twentieth century 'atomic' legs and designed a pair of anime-style mecha legs. The new legs provide 20% more ground speed, as well as enabling the Paladin hardsuit to leap to (...) (20 years ago, 29-May-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
| | | | | Re: The Skrylitch - Technic Mecha

| (...) Kudos, Eric. Skrylitch is beautiful! This thing really combines so many different techniques--technic construction, SNOT, lighting, and of course the pink magic wand tongue--it really shows how well you know the brick and its dimensions and (...)

| (...) I really like the hybrid standard-leg/chicken-leg hybrid style. If only you had a tiny lego gyroscope that would allow the mech to balance on just the brown wedge points. Eric, are you listening... (20 years ago, 29-May-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| (...) Well, this is definately one of the better gundam models i have seen. I really like torso and all the crazy angles you included in it, as well as the beautiful studless design. The hips and legs are downright awesome. As a person who generally (...) (20 years ago, 29-May-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| (...) DEFINATELY! yeah, that was a painstaking part of putting the mech together, keeping it stood up. Usually when i build my mecha i try and stand them up as i build to gauge the proportions and stuff, but it is hard to balance a mecha with barely (...)
