(...) Which pieces are the right ones, though? I need strength and compactness in one package, so anything along those lines that isn't too rare would be useful. (...) 1) Gundams rock. I like them a lot. But anything that I do based on that would (...) (23 years ago, 21-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Well, the skull's about 6x6x4 without the jaw joint or armor plating. I'll estimate at least 8x8x6, maybe a bit larger with the chin :-) (...) Quite large, yes.

(...) Congrats! Welcome to the club! More mecha postings are always welcome. (...) No problem. I'm sure we'll see it in time. Tough design to work on, btw. I've tried it myself and can't get it to work the way I want to. (...) I feel your pain. :) (...) (23 years ago, 21-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) I actually like it too. Horror of horrors! :) (...) Those new arms are spiffy. I expecially like that canopy--that's a beautiful thing, really, and I'm delighted it's available in smoke. How much did that set cost? (...) I like the assortment; (...) (23 years ago, 21-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) I really like the posability of this model, Adrian! You did an outstanding job on this one. I believe that only Chris Snead's Cepheus mecha has more posability, but he's using a very specialized system to get it to work. Getting that much (...) (23 years ago, 21-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) I'd have to agree here, Mladen. The set is made based on the parts available at the time. Also, the designers need to make a recognizable model without copying an existing one. Given what they were working with, I really like the end result. I (...) (23 years ago, 21-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Heh... I actually like it. This is a typical LEGO robot design, so why should anyone be surprised/shocked? The more I look at the new elements, the more I like them. The new arms look really interesting, and also have Technic pegs on the joint ends. (...) (23 years ago, 21-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Newbie alert! That's me. Lurker for a while, but I just signed up recently to post. Sadly, I lack a camera to show my work, and I took it apart anyway to retry the design, but I've just started work on a large-scale Evangelion. Mind you, I don't (...)

Hey all. Ever wondered what people train on to learn how to pilot really big mechs? Well, I'm here to answer that. Presenting the Sensei Training Mech. It's big, but unarmed and unarmored. It's used to teach pilots how to handle a large mech without (...) (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
