| (...) Sorry, but Star Wars isn't science fiction.:-) Really, it isn't. The technology is contrived for the sake of the story, which is why it's unrealistic. The space ships have windows! Cap ships exchange broadsides a few feet away from each other! (...) (19 years ago, 10-Feb-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

I love Star Destroyers, I drool over any image of a Star Destroyer, however, at (...) (19 years ago, 9-Feb-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| 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 (...)

| (...) This is like the difference between Fantasy and Science Fiction, which I often like to explain. :-) Science Fiction requires some intellectual rigor and logic. 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)

| (...) I don't have enough experience to be up to a serious discussion on this point, beyond the subjective platitude of 'if I like the way it looks then it's a good mecha'. I mean, the only lego mecha I've seen in real life are my own! But: I'm not (...) (19 years ago, 9-Feb-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| With this collection of creations arrayed here, I think it would be interesting if we had a discussion on what we each think defines a good mecha model.
