This is my Iron Mecha entry: Provost (URL) After moderation: (URL) I'm reasonably happy with the outcome. Any comments are welcome. Cheers, Mark. (19 years ago, 24-Jan-06, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Hey Nathan, Beautifully simple design with the best airtight cockpit design that I've seen in awhile. Great work! Dave S. "Nathan Proudlove" <nathanberry@load.com> wrote in message news:ItK7Iv.J0K@lugnet.com... (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Very nice Keith! The fleshy colours give it a biomechanical feel, which is pretty cool and different. I also really like the missile pods, and the way they have a (URL) stowed> position. A few questions: What's in the (URL) hatch>? Is this (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Yes, I realize that crabs have 6 legs and claws and whatnot, but this crab would like to take you out for an evening on the town. Who would turn down the Gentleman Crab?

(...) LOL! Thanks Keith. I would love to bring one of my MPs to Brickfest, but I'm not sure they will last till then. See, I LDraw all my models and then take them apart, to free up the parts for other works. A big creation like this puts a sizeable (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Mladen, you never fail to bring the heat. Everyone has already hit on the great details, all I'm going to add is that it is highly arousing. No Brickfest will ever be complete until you bring one of these things to devastate the train/town layout. (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) That is awesome Nathan! I just love the wild, almost cartoony look of it. Not that that is a bad thing. It's just that it has very clean, smooth lines. The posable legs reinforce this. The weapons are great as well. I'm a huge fan of insanely (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| | My finished Iron Mecha entry - The Red Queen
|
|
(2 URLs) Armed with a 15 Jiggawatt railgun and a high-explosive missile launcher, the Red Queen dominates the battlescape of the weird place where giant tanks with legs are actually physically possible and militarily sound. It is piloted by Eddie (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

It's absolutely shameful that I still haven't seen it. The next time I (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

I also like how a lot of problems I have encountered in building large multiped mecha have been revealed, (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) Thanks Anthony! I get what you're saying about the guns. I would love to make long, round-barrelled guns, but LEGO only makes 1x1 or 2x2 rounded tubes. 1x1 is IMO too skinny for the primary cannons, and 2x2 is too fat. I really wish there was (...)

(...) Awesome new weapons platform, Mladen! Others have commented on the "hammerhead", the gatling gun, the missile doors, the sensors--in other words, they didn't leave me much. But they left me something! I love the hidden "inset" colors--the (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
