The LUGOLA meeting is in 6 hours, so naturally, I'm not sleeping-I'm posting pics of my newest creations to Brickshelf. You can find them all at the following link: (URL) notes: Warthog-This is just a minor re-working of the previous Warthog mech (...)

(...) That's pretty good. I've tried building alternatives from that set and it's hard.

Hi Ashley, That's pretty cool. It's very hard to make a mecha with the limitations of the parts from only one set, and I think you've done a good job. Lucasfilm missed out on a toy marketing opportunity. Transforming Sith Infiltrator! ;^D ~Mark (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.general)

Great Job, Ashley! I love alternate model ideas, especially mechs! it appears to be a functional model (articulation, etc) that also has quite a bit of style. Thinking of bringing it to the Nov. 4th LUGOLA Meeting in Irvine? I sincerely hope so.... (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.general)

Here's my first attempt ever at a Mecha. The name SIAM is derived from: Sith Infiltrator Alternate Model. I have never built a mecha before so I do not know if there are specific attributes that I was supposed to model. The model features Darth Maul (...)

Jason, Sorry for the late post. I've been trying to finish my newest mecha in time for the Lugola meeting. I'm commenting on Mark's post because I agree with him but have a couple other comments of my own. (...) I agree. I think the missles on the (...) (24 years ago, 29-Oct-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Yes they work well. The double gives about the same mobility of the single with more support. The only pose a double won't give you is "cross" articulation: it wouldn't be able to hold a two handed sword, for example. At least not the way I'm (...)

Hi Bryce, I see you're using double throwbot limbs at the shoulders. Does that work well? How much weight does it support? Looking forward to seeing more. ~Mark "Muffin Head" Sandlin (24 years ago, 28-Oct-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Hi Jason. I like the Quirinus. It's what I would expect a "Classic Space" mecha to look like. ;^) I think the "tiger stark" has a nice torso design, but the arms and legs look a bit too proportionally small. You might think about making them a bit (...) (24 years ago, 27-Oct-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)
