I'm looking for the real name (and email address if possible) of the following Brickshelf accounts. If you know (or are) one of these people please let me know. You can email me if you'd rather at lil_lions_musings@hotmail.com. CosmicAfterBurn (...) (19 years ago, 27-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Remind me to partially collapse my lung next time I'm there's a mecha competition, it might improve my entry. This mech rocks, but I have a couple of questions: Does the cockpit have a cup-holder, and is it legal in Kentucky? -Keith (19 years ago, 27-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(lugnet ate my first reply, so here is a repost) I'm trying to figure this out... The ship comes in, unloads some containers, they are hoisted by a crazy crane into a pit. This pit is adjacent to another pit containing an unruly tentacled monster (...) (19 years ago, 26-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Zac, What can I say, This is just a well executed mecha. I love the amount of detail in such a small package. It kinda reminds me of a Cicada from Battletech, that is, until you added the AA guns. :) Keep on building! Jon (19 years ago, 26-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

I suppose that the moral of the story is never skimp on joints - in the long run making sacrifices for more sturdier joints is going to make the model more dynamic and thus better.

Third update: I switched themes from a construction type mecha to a military one simply because I'm running out of time and think a crane is harder to build than a big gun. Also I couldn't figure out a good use for the "missle pods". So here's the (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Hey Zac, this is a fantastic little mech. The greebling keeps it plenty busy and looks like a tank. The roundness of the legs sold me. The body looks a bit boxy for the size of it, but again, as a tank isn't too much of a hit. I like your variations (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
