I like how your mecha all seem to be very no-nonsense and technical-looking. The ThrowBots parts also add greatly to the poseability. I like the shoulder cannon :^) I'm going to have to get cracking on a new mecha. Dave Jr. has got me interested in (...) (24 years ago, 26-Apr-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

Check out the "Sasquatch" in the U.E.S.F. Heavy Mech section. Some jpegs may not load but at least 10 jpegs will. See it at (URL) (24 years ago, 26-Apr-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

Just thought I'd let you guys know if you haven't already see it, but at Ken Tucky Works, (URL) , when you go to the bottom of the page, there is a new guest section with some near-perfect renditions of some Gundam mechs. He also has a new mech, the (...) (24 years ago, 26-Apr-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

I just uploaded some images of my first mecha model. It is not like most of the mecha designs out there so i refer to it as a walker.

Hi Dave, Your mecha are beautiful as always, but I have a couple of questions: 1) Doesn't the use of a single peg at the shoulder make your mecha difficult to pose? It seems like they'd fall apart if you try to extend the arm forward. Do you use the (...) (24 years ago, 24-Apr-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.build)

I have a tough time describing the parts I use, but I'll give it a whirl. I've found the best hip joints are the black technic peg hinges. They consist of 2 parts, on one end of each part is a half technic peg and the other is a 3 or 2 finger hinge. (...) (24 years ago, 24-Apr-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.build)

THE best? Well, that's saying a lot, thanks. I think Karim's transforming Dragon mech is still the best Lego mecha I've seen.

Thanks Pat, I built the Saidin Mecha first, and it was by far my best micro-fig scale mecha to date.
