Greetings all, I finally finished the project I have been working on for three long months. It is a Star League era Mech Repair Facility from the Battletech Universe. My concept was to make a structure that had interchangeable repair gantries so that it could be used for Mechs of different shapes and sizes. This is the outer structure. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=222625 This is the Largest of the four gantries which takes up the entire inside of outer structure when installed http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2200208 These are the other three gantries #2 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=222630 #3 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2200240 #4 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2200253 These three can fit inside the unit simultaneously. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2200264 Physical Dimensions: Width (at widest point) 18 inches Dept (widest point) 15.5 inches Height 41 bricks or 15.25 inches Other features: Overhead crane built into roof. Overall build time including sorting: 60 hrs? I have plans to make a defensive wall and free-standing weapons turrets in the future. Questions and comments welcome! -Jon

		Re: Mech Repair Facility
(...) Jon, I love the idea of a sort of "generic" mecha bay. This one seems very well thought out. I really like the "roof" and the struts on the side holding it up. Somehow that really caught me eye. Also the idea of it being modular is rockin'. (...) (18 years ago, 27-Dec-06, to lugnet.build.mecha)

		Re: Mech Repair Facility
(...) -snip- (...) Jon! That is a great accomplishment! The concept is very cool, and I really like the ideas you have. That roof is so cool. I tried a bunch of times to make a roof like that, they all turned out so different. In fact, after seeing (...) (18 years ago, 4-Jan-07, to lugnet.build.mecha)
