  Re: GR-Destroyer
 
(...) Thanks. It's 30 inches tall, not quite three feet, but on the minifig scale that's about 110 feet tall, coincidentally the same conjectured height as the Colossus of Rhodes, a virtual minifig tourist attraction, when it isn't on a destructive (...)

(...) I tried but my camera couldn't quite manage it, not enough light. The eye, um, aperture, sort of glows red, but you can only see it in the dark. K (20 years ago, 11-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

  Re: GR-Destroyer
 
Brain, Sweeeeet mecha! Nice to see you are at it again. That is one of the best I have ever seen. It even rivals the Gundams you have built. I have one question....How tall is that thing? The biggest I have built was maybe 12", and that thing looks (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)
 
  Re: New MOC: K-Siren
 
(...) Thank you Soren, this was the Mecha light of my day! Kinda different, the orange knees stand out, but not in a bad way. Is this a reclining couch kind of cockpit? I'm still thinking different. It's got a look that has me go, ewww, yet hmmm (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
 
  Re: New MOC: K-Siren
 
(...) That's pretty darned sweet. The arms and legs a great, and the cockpit, while not roomy, is cool too. One complaint: The entire thing looks like it's leaning back to look up at something. Maybe the pilot is in perpetual fear of an air (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

  Re: The Beeesh
 
(...) I tend to agree with Adrian. This is old hat for you by now. The over-all form is nice, but some parts seem out of scale or out of place to me. The scale issues come from the comparative lengths between arms, legs, and torso. I'd expect the (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
 
  Re: New MOC:
 
(...) 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)
 
  Re: New MOC:
 
(...) 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:
 
(...) Thanks Matthew! I'm so glad you, like others, find the whole mecha satisfying. The chair is really nothing new; it's inspired by anime shows and movies such as Patlabor, which feature seats that slide out to allow the (...) (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 (...)

  Re: New MOC:
 
(...) See, I can't agree. I love SNOT too (I can never get over the urge to go "ew" to that) but the military plain-ness really helps in this case. It gives the platform a sense of "edifice" or "fortification"; add that to the curvature at the nose (...) (20 years ago, 9-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

  Re: New MOC:
 
Daaaaayumn. That's a slick bit of work right there. The detailing is money, especially that sensor turret in the nose. How did you get those giant railguns to hold a pose? Black magic?
