It doesn't look like anything I've seen before...although it does remind me of the crab guys in Dark (...) (24 years ago, 29-Dec-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

| | | | | | Thanks Bryce! It is about a foot tall, I guess. My inspiration was just to build a really large 6 legged mecha, but inspiration also came from Masamune Shirow; ever seen Appleseed the anime, notice that big Mobile Platform mecha at the end... I can (...) (24 years ago, 29-Dec-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

| | | | | Yea! Mass-destruction at it's greatest! Does it support it's weight well or does it fall after 2 minutes (My mecha have been know to do this...) BTW The pictures suck! J/K Accually you did a pretty good job photoing all that black! Keep 'em comin'! (...) (24 years ago, 29-Dec-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

| | | | | | Thanks Kyle! Actually the mecha is quite stable on most, non-slick surfaces such as carpet, paper, and etc. However it does begin to slip and fall on very slick surfaces, such as a kitchen table. (...) (24 years ago, 29-Dec-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

For the probable weight of such a vehicle they seem likely to pierce the ground--is this a factor to consider in design? I don't (...) (24 years ago, 29-Dec-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| | | | | | | | Re: Site Update (mecha!) —Mladen Pejic
|
| | | | | | Thanks Dave! Yes the feet are meant to pierce the ground, this way the mecha is more stable when firing shells from the rail gun. Right now, when I place the mecha on a carpet it sinks in only 1 cm, but off course carpet and real-world terrain are (...) (24 years ago, 29-Dec-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| | | | | | Very nice job you've done there Mladen. Actually nice doesn't do it justice, maybe awsome, but that doesn't quite hfit the bill either. Well anyway you've done a great job with this one.

| | | | Holy Shnikies! That mech is huge! And awesome to boot! I really like the arthropod-ish look to it, and I really like that its design is nothing like any of your other mecha.
