yes folks the Legomaster is back! Thank you for all the kind compliments on the GG Mech: (URL) are some stats: Gomgile - The GG Mech, a Grey Green Biomechanoid. She's 37 inches tall. Weights in at 21 pounds. 4 motors and a DDSK unit in the chest. 1 (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Well, you can't say that is 100% true. How about countermeasures which a tank can employ to block the targeting mechanism of the missile? For example, the Russian T-90 has a whole bunch of things that allow it to survive. First off, and this (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Now that I think of it, you have a good point there. In my pure space days there was nothing in the world that could have convinced me that a Gundam could take down a Star Destroyer for example, and there is nothing now that can convince me (...)

(...) :-) Thats why I wrote it that way. Seriously though I hope no one took my "Real World Viability" rant to mean I did not like all the cool mech(a)s models that get shown here. (Then again I like all the trains and castles too.) -Mike Petrucelli (23 years ago, 9-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Well, Matt, my take on the whole antimecha flame war is this: You either get it or you don't. Mecha has quite a bit in common with space and spaceheads like you and I understand mecha much easier than trainheads do. Townies tend to admire the work (...)

(...) Now this is completly subjective and open to debate. I personally build what most people consider "cute" and/or "little" fighters. To me they are able to kill almost any other fighter or mech(a) with one shot. Hey my "Empire" the Galactic (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Hey, this is my first post to lugnet.build.mecha. i've been reading lugnet for a year, but just now got it setup so i can post. here is the brickshelf gallery of my few modestly successful mecha designs: (URL) have some cool designs in my head, and (...)

Those are very cool. They look well done (more or less). I really like this page. They are all clear like those Gundam models. I couldn't find more pics like these though. (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

I actually caught part of that lame thread. Seems to me that some of the other Lugneters are confussed either by the difference between Bionicle & Avatars or Bionicle and Mecha. Maybe they are simply confussed in general??? I don't really know nor (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) I've seen this one-- I really like! Great idea to integrate the two-- not enough of that here, IMO. I like the 'Foundry'-type dioramas, but I've been wanting to do a 'naturalistic' scene for some time now, too. You'll probably beat me to it, (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Actually I did a bit on this very topic. Take a look: (URL) both terms are correct. Mecha refers more to the Japanese style, and mech is everything else. (Mechs have grease and oil stains. That's about the only difference really...) (23 years ago, 8-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) eeps! That was me! Didn't mean to make you sad. I forgot if they are referred to as "mech" or "mecha", I seem to remember someone being strongly reminded one of the terms was incorrect.
