    New Mecha and .DAT file for Chieftain! —Mladen Pejic
   (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) (...)

        Re: New Mecha and .DAT file for Chieftain! —Trevor Pruden
     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 (...) (23 years ago, 23-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

         Re: New Mecha and .DAT file for Chieftain! —Mladen Pejic
     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) (...)

     Well, if this thing going to replace tanks, it's going to have be deployed in the same environments as tanks :) Glad you like the Scimitar.

         Re: New Mecha and .DAT file for Chieftain! —Mladen Pejic
     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. ASMs can still fight in urban settings, it's just that they were made (...) (23 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. (...) (23 years ago, 23-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
   
        Re: New Mecha with SIMRAF —Brian Cooper

     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.
