| (...) Thanks ME. I see you're a legs man, I'm into breasts myself. One thing I was worried about was pulling off the armor look to the legs. I didn't want the KK joints too exposed on this build. As to color, it kinda dictated the moc as I build in (...) (19 years ago, 10-Feb-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| Hi Fradel, It's a good military Mecha MOC but the legs are so chunky it looks to me like a Mech that's 'eaten' too much. Maybe you should have called it 'Max Body Fat'? I like all the 'pods' stuck on the back and the opening hatch so you can get a (...) (19 years ago, 10-Feb-06, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| (...) I love it. The legs, in particular - they're so magnificently chunky. The body has a nice hefty feel to it too. I like that you've managed to fit two minfigs in the body without making it too big, and there's some lovely SNOTing in there. (...) (19 years ago, 10-Feb-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

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.

| 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)

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)

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)
