Greetings! This post marks several firsts for me, my first LUGNET post, my first Brickshlef folder, and my first mech! Anyway, here is Gladius, a heavy assault mech: (URL) (Click image for folder after moderation) Gladius sports the following (...)

(...) ?Cha! Is there any doubt I would? Rock on Tim, way to come out with a bang! You got a great mechwarrior feel here. The colors are good and the scheme of it feels gooo...oood. I kind of feel the radar dish inbetween the missle racks is a little (...) (20 years ago, 31-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) snip That's a heck of a debut, Tim. Let me be the first (and only) poster to complain about the inadequacy of Gladius' missile load-out. Who are you trying to impress with a measly pair of 25-tube launchers? I'm kidding of course. Seriously, I (...) (20 years ago, 1-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) Thanks! (...) I guess I can see what you mean. On the plus side, this Mech receives the SciFi Channel! (...) Yeah, you got me there. Originally this mech was not going to be nearly this big. The original leg joints used doubled click joints, (...) (20 years ago, 2-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) Wow, thanks! (...) Thanks for all the compliments, I've certainly been admiring your mechs for quite a while now as well. (...) This was actually somewhat tricky just because I really didn't have any examples to base it of off. Hips and (...) (20 years ago, 2-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) You're right of course. Why settle for demolishing a mere 50 targets when you can obliterate 100. Or 1,000! Muhahahahahaha! My next mech will eliminate the torso and arms altogether and just be a mass of 1x1 cone bricks on legs (...) Thanks! (...) (20 years ago, 2-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) Pardon me for beeing so late! Welcome to .mecha. It's only a few days I posted my first mech here, getting a fantastic and warm welcome. So I feel a bit strange writing this right now. Tim please tell me you were building for several years and (...) (20 years ago, 2-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) I rarely comment on mechs or mecha around here, but I have to break my vow of silence. I was an old-school battletech player, and my favorite was the Catapult. When the clan books first came out, I couldn't wait for a Mad Cat figure and so I (...) (20 years ago, 3-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Tim, this is an amazing way to enter the world of mecha. I see the Mad Cat influence, but this is far nicer than any Mad Cat I've ever seen pics of. The colorscheme pulls together nicely, and the lack of a greebled torso works quite nicely. All in (...) (20 years ago, 3-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) Tim, This Mech is EYE-CANDY. Everytime I come to .mecha, I have to click on the picture. Great job! You should talk to Tim (the other Tim) at Used Brick Liquidators to make up a kit of these Mechs and sell them. (20 years ago, 4-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
