Yes, Eric, that is an off center gun pod!

Okay , I'll relent, Eric. Back in 2000 I had a website and you saw it, the
maruader, watcher, the crusher (in an older and less stable form), and the
barracuda (older form as well). The other designs are all now defunct. The site
was Lego-maniac.net (which I had to shut down before Lego took legal action
against me.).It was inspired by the Protoss Dragoons from Starcraft. You and I
emailed back and forth for a couple of months.
I do have a few more things to post once I get pictures taken, but I'm taking a
break for a while. I have some tanks, at least one aerospace fighter, a couple
of dropships, a light and medium mech repair bay (nowhere near as cool as yours,
I bow to the master!!),a protomech support facility, a mobile artillery
piece,and a hospital that has been hit by shelling.
Everything I have posted is intended for use in a game that crosses battletech
with Lego.
I call it Bricktek, and I run it at a local convention every year called Marcon
Last year I built a whole town for a city battle. This year will be my fourth
year running it.
Ciao

P.S. I'll see if I can find the page on Marcon.org that has pictures of last
year's game.

| Is there anywhere I could get the rules for that. I saw another Lego based battle-mech game, but it was far too simplistic, and the system was entirely random. It would be interesting to see a more mature battle system Danny (20 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)
