|

Well it's about time I got this up, It's the PMC Kannon version 21, seriously! this thing has been completely modified 21 times over! I'm very happy with the way this guy turned out though, it's safe to say that this is my best mech ever, (...) (23 years ago, 10-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.announce)

Great job! The variety of form astounds me-- you haven't just got one bag of tricks (which is how I feel every time I attempt something new-- they always look similar)-- there's an array of design and colour ideas being explored. Well done! I love (...) (23 years ago, 10-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Yikes! there's too many sweet little things to comment on, anyway, the hard suit is awesome, that really stood out IMO as cool, and the group photos rule! You should snap a pic of them all have a big o' fight! A rumble of the minimechs. Hehe, that'd (...) (23 years ago, 9-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Fantastic! I love looking at mecha I haven't seen before and origami mecha is no different. Melding square plastic pieces into human-like form just isn't easy to do.

Well, I don't build with mech at all, but I thought I'd toss my two cents in about my town/space/castle structures. Thinking back upon my oldest MOC...I'd say it strectched back ten years or so. Over the past five years or so, I've increased the (...) (23 years ago, 9-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

My apologies if this non-Lego topic doesn't really belong here, but I figured it was a good start. Does anyone own any of the Robotech DVD's? I was wondering if missing scenes were restored. I have some of the tapes from the late 80's and I know (...) (23 years ago, 9-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Yes waiter I'll have the big ol' mecha a la Metal Gear with a side of lots of missles. <waiter> coming right up sir! and then BAM this mecha comes trotting on out. Very nice.
