Wow... I have not see that winch since it came out in the 70s. Is it for sale? JUST KIDDING!!!...!!! (18 years ago, 26-Apr-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
 
  Re: Rolling Walking Rabbit Wrecker
 
Hey Eric, Very cool. The design of the feet is very interesting - though I'm not sure I understand the combination of jointed legs and wheels. Is this a rollerskating mech? The use of the old tow truck piece as tail is very clever. Bruce (18 years ago, 26-Apr-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

I have been thinking about a quad design that has wheels at its toes. This is a proto type proof of concept design excersize. Future designs will explore this set up with the final version being motorized. (URL) Rolling Walking Rabbit Wrecker> (3 (...)

  Re: BAAL - Artillery Mech
 
This is a sweet Mech. The color scheme rocks and I just love the fact that this thing looks so mean for a small mech. All of the parts seem to have a purpose and while lots of detail (greebles?) is sometimes fun it's also nice to see the subtle and (...) (18 years ago, 25-Apr-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) cool. positively inspirational use of a wide selection of unusual parts. What are the battle droid arms on the left hand connected to? re: posing - perhaps you could keep it in your fridge... (18 years ago, 25-Apr-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
 
  Re: BAAL - Artillery Mech
 
The fact that you built this kickass mech under my dradis both frightens and delights me. Your mecha story is similar to mine. I just got up one day and decided to take a stab at mecha after two many years of looking at other people's work. I look (...) (18 years ago, 25-Apr-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
 
  Re: Biped Tricycle
 
Good to see you're still around Pat. You never cease to amaze me with your alternate uses of seed parts. Grace the lug with your prescense more often. I'd like to see that in person. F (18 years ago, 25-Apr-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
 
  Biped Tricycle
 
I was working on a use for the ATV body piece and came up with a pretty fun mech. Although, after I set it up to take the pictures the sun loosened all the leg joints and it wouldn't pose for me anymore. (URL) Gallery: (URL) Pat Bunn (18 years ago, 24-Apr-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
 
  Re: New Moc: Kestrel
 
(...) Thank you, Dennis. (...) Yes, that set and the prehistoric creatures set had the color in question. (...) I hope so too! Glad you liked it! -Jon (18 years ago, 24-Apr-06, to lugnet.build.mecha)
 
  Re: New Moc: Kestrel
 
Very nice work, Jon. I'm also liking the orange color scheme you've chosen there. Are the dark orange parts from 4884 Wild Hunters? I'm definitely going to have to check out that color. Hope you can keep on building in between diaper changing! ;) (...) (18 years ago, 24-Apr-06, to lugnet.build.mecha)
 
  Re: BAAL - Artillery Mech
 
Thanks everyone for the very kind and encouraging words. I should mention that it was everyone's awesome-looking Iron Mecha entries here that inspired me to try building a mech. After this model, I'm definitely motivated to doing more. Currently I'm (...) (18 years ago, 24-Apr-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
 
  Re: Pirate mecha
 
(...) Thanks Fradel! EVA = Extravehicular activity? I think I should have added some accessories, but I didn't really know what, and I didn't want to add realistic gunz. Chainsaw is a good idea. Magnetic boots anyone? Thanks again, JP. (18 years ago, 24-Apr-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)
 
  Re: New Moc: Kestrel
 
(...) Thanks, Fradel! I will probably revisit this design for other flaws, but will definitely take both your suggestions and Matthew's under advisement when I do. Hmmm....have to double check whether or not I have anymore of the 2X2 slopes in that (...) (18 years ago, 23-Apr-06, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) I had already noticed this on Brickshelf. It sure is sweet, although I can't make up my mind whether I like the printed nose piece or not. Fantastic name aswell. But what does it mean, "How to use 43121"? Is it perhaps a japanese lego set (...) (18 years ago, 23-Apr-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
 
  Re: Pirate mecha
 
That's a very good EVA look for a pirate mech. You've mentioned on CSF I believe, that you went for a realistic approach to the "Arr, send them to Davey Jones's locker" look. I think fusion cutters and buzzsaws/chainsaws would work well for hull (...) (18 years ago, 23-Apr-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)
 
  Re: New Moc: Kestrel
 
Wow. Its good to see more orange mechs these days. The look of the mech and and the name definitely suit the skirmisher role. One sight mod I'd like to see on the feet though is replacing the 1x2 black plate and adding a modified orange slope like (...) (18 years ago, 23-Apr-06, to lugnet.build.mecha)
