(...) -Snip- Wow! Not the typical MechBay - this one feels sleeker and smaller, and the use of color seems brighter and more vibrant. The green is especially nice - we don't see a lot of green MOCs these days. The green/sandgreen mix is also well (...) (20 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)
Wow, Eric. At this rate, we'll have to name a moonbase plat after you. Sophie Mecha Tracts, or how about Eric's Mecha Park Add. Wouldn't that be a cool legal? Yeah, I live at Lot 21, Sophie's WhoopAss Mech Farm Add. But I digress. Great job as (...) (20 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)
(...) The planters and open-faced helmets are a departure from the usual "hostile environment" theme, and so this would be hard-pressed to fit well into any moonbase display I've ever seen. It would work better if the plants were weird-colored and (...) (20 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)
(...) Break it down for the homies, E, how many actual hours of those 5 days were devoted to building? (...) In my way of thinking, 6 is too many connections to the lunar ghetto. Do you really want fleebnorks and spam-boys running wild in this (...) (20 years ago, 25-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)
I'd say this is your 3rd best mechbay yet. The reason I think this is because it is very focused on a particular idea, and successfully executes it. Except for those weird X-pods and straps, this moonbase is incredibly "lean" and to the point. As (...) (20 years ago, 25-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)
Very cool, Eric. But in particular, I applaud your use of X-Pod clips. Rubberbands? Stickers? Salt&Pepper Shakers? I say if LEGO makes it, it fits the purist ideal. Felix (20 years ago, 25-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)
I saw this and just had to toss in my $.025, E. (...) Mucho cool. Fairly quick build in the land o' Sophie. Helps that Chili was already built first. ;) (...) Good number. 8 would have been too many and anything less than 4 just isn't worth the (...) (20 years ago, 25-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)
(...) snip Eric, when I saw your new Mech Bay I got this hilarious image in my head of your bipedal mechs teasing your quadrapeds about not being able to fit in the Mech Bays, whereupon your quadrapeds started bugging you non-stop until you built (...)
