Hello Group, I've mentioned this one a few times, though now that it's done, I'm just not sure... somehow it's just not yet right. They always look different IRL. ANyway, hopefully someone has some suggestions as to how I might proceed. Consider (...) (23 years ago, 27-Oct-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Who's talking mechs? You should -see- the size of our grasshoppers and locusts 'down under'. I'm thinking a 70t grasshopper may be a bit restrained actually. They crush cars, eat children, and certainly give the drop-bears a run for their money.... (...) (23 years ago, 26-Oct-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Well, tomorrow is Super Saturday and I spent the other day taking pictures and making some instructions for the kids to use. I posted them on Brickshelf here: (URL) check them out and give me some feedback. I put them up Wed. but we had a tornado go (...)

I don't recall seeing a post about this, but I was at TRU last night and saw that K'Nex has licensed for Mech Warrior. They had sets of the Mad Cat, Shadow Cat and Cauldron Borne at the store I was at. And they shoot nerf-like missles. :) Found it (...)

(...) Mark -- that's a great design -- does it have an interior? Looks a smidge small for one, but I never write it off w/o asking. :) It looks very - Locust-like ala Battletech. I'd suggest Grasshopper but they're just small locust. ;) It's a sweet (...) (23 years ago, 25-Oct-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Mark, this is a great design! I'll have to get back to you on the name though...the immediate name that popped into my head was the 'Mantid'. I think that's due to the color, but at 4am, it's hard to be certain. :) Have a good one and keep on (...) (23 years ago, 25-Oct-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

There's been an unidentified mech spotted. Take a look and see for yourself; (URL) there's more. You see I haven't come up with a good name yet and so I thought it might be fun to see what LUGNETters come up with. So e-mail me (...) (23 years ago, 25-Oct-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Nice mecha. You seem to be improving and growing with each new mecha you make. Unlike Mark I like the feet. I dunno maybe it's the weird sort of organic feel to them? As with everyone else I think the head rocks! Keep them coming. Other thoughts. In (...) (23 years ago, 22-Oct-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
