Hey K, what are you up to? I've been slacking on keeping up with things. So I'd like to know what you are up to these days? What are you building or intending to build? Thanks - Curiously - Eric (23 years ago, 3-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) I was on a trip to Las Vegas. There are mechs there called "one armed bandits", very dangerous, good at desert warfare, unpredictably blasting out streams of hypervelocity metal discs. My plane barely made it out as the bandits stormed the (...) (23 years ago, 6-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

This is a question to Brian (K) and actually to all mecha builders: "Why are you still building 2 to 3 feet tall Gundams and mechs?" Especially you K, you have more than enough pieces to create a 6 foot Gundam with opening armor/wings, huge guns, (...) (23 years ago, 7-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) The picture of all three is awesome. (...) Put a big fat me too here Christopher. I'd love to steal (I mean use with full credit ;-) some of K's joint ideas). I have a feeling that we'd both be blown away by Brian's joint systems. I've stared (...) (23 years ago, 7-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Bobby, The answer for me lies in what I like to build. I have no interest in making a six foot tall mecha. Most builders create at a level they are comfortable. For me the scale I build has a lot to do with the types of joints I am using. Gravity (...) (23 years ago, 7-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
