Hello all! So I've been working on quite a bit since the LUGOLA meeting. I stumbled upon something that might be of interest to you mech builders out there. So, you know those 1x4 brick hinges - the kind that have been around forever? They have the (...) (23 years ago, 12-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Being a nerd I have always fallen back on the acronyms. I have always used Mechanically Enhanced Combat Heavy Armor for MECHA. Although I have never seen this in any other source (anime etc..) it seems to work for me. Mike out (...) (23 years ago, 12-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) It is spelled with a "ch" because it is derived from a non-japanese word (hence it being written in katakana). It is probably derived from mechanical, but I don't know that for sure. :) Jeff (23 years ago, 12-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Wow! Great work, it is so realistic. I truly love the fact that this mech has it own personality. A person can just imagine several Bu-806 sneaking on another army (not mobile suits necessary) and the pilots just say BOOOOO! Open fire, demolish (...)

The pilot seems just a bit too happy. Must be the radiation from (...) (23 years ago, 12-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

Wow! I am impressed Kyle! You did a fantastic job with the colour scheme and the weapons. It looks like a regular, military grunt. The use of specialized pieces (i.e. castle turret top) is great too. (...) (23 years ago, 12-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

(...) I'm not sure about HERC, as it's an acronym used in that universe. It is derived from Herculean but it has its own provenance as well.

Actually, I believe that the term Mech is derived from Mecha. Mecha I believe is a Japanese word for machine. If this is the case, there can never be a copyrighting of the word. Another term used is herc; this being derived from Herculian(sp?). This (...) (23 years ago, 11-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
