     (...) I like the blue and tan. Looks very nice together. The shoulder mounted cannons are very cool. The inline shells are a nice touch. *BLAMM* :^) Groovy. ~Grand Admiral Muffin Head (23 years ago, 19-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

        Re: New Mecha - "Tortoise" Next-Generation Land Mecha —Christopher Snead
     (...) I always do! This is a VERY interesting mecha you've designed here. First off, excellent color scheme. You've really got this down to a science. Also, I like the sort of top loading cockpit you put into this one. There's so much detail, and it (...) (23 years ago, 19-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

        Re: New Mecha - "Tortoise" Next-Generation Land Mecha —John Aronson
     wow.. Im impressed. That has got to be your best model, period. Im not sure ive ever seen a mecha of that size that is so incredibly detailed and yet still functional(i assume) hmmm.. i think ive returned some what to, at least the mecha forum. (...)

     John! Wow, it's been a while since I heard from you. Glad you like the mecha. Have you seen my "Azriel" (URL) It's my best bipedal mecha yet. Sets for mecha? Hmmm... Stock up on as many new SW sets as you can. This mecha's parts came from a variety (...) (23 years ago, 19-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

        Re: New Mecha - "Tortoise" Next-Generation Land Mecha —Kyle Keppler
      As I told you yesterday, sawweeeet! I really like the cannons, er, grenade launchers... And it's quite spiffy how they can be removed! Another Mladen beauty! (...) (23 years ago, 19-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
    
         Re: New Mecha - "Tortoise" Next-Generation Land Mecha —Mladen Pejic
     Thanks Kyle! I really should have made those grenade launchers into auto-cannons, oh well... So much for trying to be different. ;-) (...) (23 years ago, 19-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
   
        Re: New Mecha - "Tortoise" Next-Generation Land Mecha —Dave Johann
     Okay, Mladen....cut it out...quite making the rest of us feel like slackers. ;-) I like the bulked up design on Tortoise. It makes Azriel look tiny in comparison. I have to agree with the comment that the blue and tan look fabulous-especially when (...) (23 years ago, 19-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
    
         Re: New Mecha - "Tortoise" Next-Generation Land Mecha —Mladen Pejic
     (...) ;-) (...) Thanks Dave! Yes, those are wheels! They actually prevent the legs from sliding to the sides, but their "real" purpose is to help the mecha navigate through tight urban areas. I also imagine they would increase the land speed too, (...) (23 years ago, 19-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
    
         Re: New Mecha - "Tortoise" Next-Generation Land Mecha —Dave Johann
      (...) What I was getting at is that I've never seen this ised on a Lego mech. It seems like such an obvious thing, but I've been oblivious to it until now. -Dave (23 years ago, 19-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
    
         Re: New Mecha - "Tortoise" Next-Generation Land Mecha —Travis Dickinson
     Never noticed the wheels on your mecha. The Heavy Gear PC game also implemented that idea. For those who don't know and are interested, here's info on the Mecha Domain's shutdown: (URL) Dickinson (URL) Pejic wrote: (cut) (...) (23 years ago, 20-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

         Re: New Mecha - "Tortoise" Next-Generation Land Mecha —Mladen Pejic
     (...) "less detailed" It has a curved gun clip! It's not flat either (sides have tiles), the bottom is detailed too (with the 1x2 hinge top and the handle). I just think it is unfair to say this, since I can't put gobs of detail on a small object. (...) (23 years ago, 22-Aug-01, to lugnet.space)
