(URL) my newest model. I built it after 2 failed attempts at making a really huge mecha carrier, and then a really huge mecha... The last 4 pictures are just the result of me trying to make some camouflage for my mecha. I kinda like it! ;-) (URL) (...)

Woo hoo! :^D This is a really nice one! It doesn't look as big as the others, but it has a really eye pleasing look to it. Maybe that because you make really good use of the blue and yellow color scheme and you use those SW racing fins so well. I (...) (24 years ago, 23-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Thanks Travis! Funny you say urban combat, I always pictures this as a desert (or any other wide open space in which a sniper-like mecha can just pick off enemies), or jungle (lots of nice cover, again, here sniper-like mecha has and advantage) (...) (24 years ago, 23-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Yes, more wing stuff to follow, I'm very pleased with the way this new one is comming out. I'll have to send it on a covert mission during the 12 days of Christmas to hi-jack some parts from you, I'll have to program evasive manuvers to avoid MAP (...)

Argh! How did I miss this last night? Another score for Mladen. I dig on the "flying" pics. I image you mech hovering and just picking off targets one by one.

Thanks Bryce! Actually the accuracy of the cannon is decreased by more th 50% when the mecha is airborne. However, the cannon is already so advanced that it can still shoot reasonably well. (...) (24 years ago, 23-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

That is correct, but weren't tanks also used in desert warfare, a la Africa during WWII (ex. Tubruk (sp?)) and U.S.S.R. (ex. Kirsk), and during Operation Desert Storm, as well.

Thanks Brian! I already did the green, grey, and dark grey colour scheme with my "Goblin" and "Chieftain" mecha. Military paint schemes get old quick. I wanted to try something different.
