| F-Dawg, It's a cool mech Frahdeel, I've already told you that, probably your best yet...although I think it needs a new module of your ever expanding, and award-winning mechbay to show it off. (shameless plug for dios) I have to say though, that (...) (19 years ago, 9-Feb-06, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| Hi all. I don't post much but here is my lastest mecha. In the renewed spirit of Mecha builder camaraderie I thought it fitting to share it now with you all. This mecha came about because I wanted to try a two-seater variant of this guy: (URL) was (...) (19 years ago, 9-Feb-06, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| (...) Ah, I had no idea those were Knight's Kingdom, since I don't/wouldn't own any KK. Mine came from the Creator sets - I privately refer to them as Dino-joints. I used them because they seemed to be the correct size for what I needed, and (...) (19 years ago, 9-Feb-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| (...) Thanks for having me as a judge, and for all your efforts. The creativity and variety was great. I'd like to say that this was a difficult set of MOCs to judge, and there were a lot of entries I saw that I really liked. In the constraints of (...)

Really the legs just look a little small for the arms, if you used the joints again in the legs and covered the actual hinge (...) (19 years ago, 9-Feb-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| Congrats Stafford! First a mention on the SciFi wire, and now this. Kudos to "Ironmecha Stafford", as you should be addressed from now on. I also must dole out some kudos to Fradel because I called him out to enter, and he beat me like a red-headed (...) (19 years ago, 9-Feb-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| (...) Hmmm, good explanation. If we're equating 'self-consistency' with 'realism' then I agree with you. A good mecha design is not going to have any 'out-of-place' details. I guess I misunderstood your initial argument. but on the other hand: (...) (...) (19 years ago, 9-Feb-06, to lugnet.build.mecha)

His distinction between sci-fi and fantasy was similar but more fundamental: if an element of the story is considered impossible, then it's fantasy. Not "improbable" or "currently (...)

You can certainly make up weird new science, but it has to be self consistent. (...) (19 years ago, 9-Feb-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
