Hello all. After looking through a lot of the mecha pages, I decided I want to build some also. What I need to know though is what are some good sets to get that have a lot of the standard 'mecha' pieces. I only have about $120 so I can't go out and (...)

How about modeling the armour and placing a minifig head on it? That way, you won't have to build around the minifig. That's the way I build all my big, evil positronic invaders from Alpha Centauri... Added bonus: shooting them to bits N' pieces (...) (24 years ago, 18-Aug-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

Nice additions, but now that I look at it again, the torso looks way, way to huge for the limbs. And it's way to small above/near the pelvic area, giving it a funny He-Man action figure look. (...) webhosting (...) (24 years ago, 18-Aug-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)
