Hello comrades. Here's a WIP of my Iron Mech, the HUA-5c Rock Lobster aka Thundersnatch. It is a heavy assualt hover mech.

(...) Very cool WIP photos. I love that your mecha is so deadly even the designer is in danger. Glad to see people using the ideas everyone's pouring out, especially that cool turntable. Look forward to seeing your finished Iron Mecha stylin's Aaron (19 years ago, 16-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

|
|
I didn't take Ralphie Parker's advise and have almost shot my eye out about 5 times working on the missile launcher. I would place the missile into the launcher to make sure it fit, etc. Only to forgot about it and then trigger the mechanism!!! (...)

Adrian, You rock! So far, this is my favorite colorscheme of any of the IM's built thus far. I'm now glad I didn't use it. ;) A transforming quadra-ped is a HUGE challenge. To build it, keep the basic design intact, come up with a cool alternate (...) (19 years ago, 16-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

Great articulation. Everything is wormed. It should be able to do some unusual poses that not even the one in the example picture could do, since its legs look like they just have the equivalent of a ball joint at the hip. I like how you did the (...) (19 years ago, 15-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

The first component of a gourmet mecha meal is realistic detail. The second component is... an appealing setting. They seem to be doing some work on it: (URL) cleaning the radiator gratings> Those seem to be different hull markings. I wonder why. (...) (19 years ago, 14-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) Is this all it does? I don't see a can opener. Actually, that's more than enough. Very impressive.:-) I was hoping someone would make something that transformed. This contest has a lot of good variety, from micro to non-military. I'm liking (...) (19 years ago, 14-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) I wouldn't exactly call Tommy Guns modern. They were obselete by the time WWII began. They are from around the same period as the Adventures guns so not really a new period at all. Tim (19 years ago, 14-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Some more progress pics (after moderation): (URL) frame 1> (URL) frame 2> The black frame was hijacked for a future bipedal project, so I built this frame after an order of 20 worm gears came in from Pitsco.

(...) You got me thinking a lot about anti slop techniques after checking out your ankle joint on Teknomeka. I used to just chop up technic corrugated tubing to eliminate slop in worm gears...but Sophie would call that cheating...so I've decided to (...) (19 years ago, 14-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) Wow! I this this is a very creative Iron Mecha creation. Maybe the only transforming entry? What a clever idea. Nice color scheme, too... BTW, curse you for the cockpit idea...I was going to do that! Now it would just look like I was ripping (...) (19 years ago, 14-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)
