| (...) Thanks David! I guess in some ways this mecha could indeed fit into both the Patlabor and Appleseed universe. It has the scale of the mobile platform from Appleseed, yet features Patlabor-type styling. BTW, for sure in '05 I'm going to do (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
| | | | | Re: New MOC:

| (...) This has to be, as mentioned earlier, your best Mobile Platform yet. As usual I dig the "cleanness" of the construction and color scheme. Would not change a thing. My favorite things though are the ordinance, the turrets, and the awesome seat. (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
| | | | | Re: New MOC:
|
| (...) LOL! That is funny. When I'm building stuff like this, I'm quite aware that it could possibly be built at different scales. It certainly would be interesting to make microfig versions of all six mobile plaforms. Someday perhaps... (...) Thanks (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| (...) I was wondering when we'd hear from you again, Mladen, and this is worth the wait! When I saw the thumbnail I thought, "are those blue droid soldier bodies on the feet", but then I saw how mistaken I was in regard to the size! I'm working on a (...)

The first documented cool use of the new Alpha team canopies. The (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Teikiatsu Mech and Armature Frame
|
| (...) That's a great frame to build from, and the new color scheme is a huge improvement. One of these days I want to try one in dark blay and orange, with white accents. I'm not really feeling the big gun, but otherwise very good, creative work. (20 years ago, 10-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)
| | | | | Re: New MOC:
|
| (...) Yeah, people really seem to dig the sliding seat. Good point about splitting up the hatch, I thought of it, but didn't have the desire to do it. I included small hold bars on the sides, so I don't think it would be that difficult to get out. (...) (20 years ago, 9-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| | | | | Re: New MOC:

| I really like the sliding seat on angled rails, like a fighter plane's ejector seat. Very well done. (The grooved bricks and sliders are really fun parts to use.) Also it looks like if you allowed the front quadrants of the cockpit door could close (...) (20 years ago, 9-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
| | | | | Re: New MOC:

| One of my favorite mecha to date. This is a wonderfully insane Mobile Battle Platform; what with those totally Mladen side-spars supporting outrageously large "square-barreled death-cannons", quoting Keith, humongus amounts of missle-power, and of (...)
