 | | Almost-Mecha with Throwbot parts —Jeremy H. Sproat
|
| | | Hey all, I've tried my hand at using Throwbot parts for large mecha, here it is: (URL) credit goes to the first person who can tell me which episode of Macross where we first see this bully. :-, The model is *almost* done; I ran out of parts for the (...)

| | | | | Ah, the venerable Tomahawk. Afraid I don't know which episode it debuted in, though. Looks real nice, Sproat. You've captured the chunky, armored look of it very well. Those ThrowBots parts do make it difficult. I don't know if I will ever go back (...) (25 years ago, 10-May-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| | | | | | (...) D'oh. I'm almost positive I am- I think my knowledge of the name of this 'mech (or, I suppose I should say "destroid") comes from the Matchbox Robotech toy line and the Robotech RPG by Palladium. Whoops! Heh. eric (25 years ago, 10-May-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| | | | | | (...) Nerd. ;-) It looks like the literature isn't going to back me up on this one. According to its technical notes entry (1) in the Unofficial ROBOTECH Reference Guide, 2060 Edition, the name "Excalibur" was created just for the Matchbox toy line, (...)

Coming from a Mechwarrior point of view, isn't that a Warhammer? :) (...) Yes, I think the legs are beautiful. They have that (...) (25 years ago, 11-May-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| | | | | | You have some nice, Japanese mecha-type designs there, but nothing that I can readily identify as being Gundam-flavored. Was there one MOC in particular that you felt was like a Gundam? ~Mark (...) (URL) (25 years ago, 15-May-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| | | | | (...) Very nice. I'm impressed. But, I wouldn't try rebuilding it for a minifig pilot - it's not big enough, so I think you'd ruin the look deforming it to take one. Don't spoil it. Just my thoughts... JJ. (25 years ago, 21-May-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| | | | | | (...) Really? I once saw a cut-away graphic (1) for Macross which showed the pilot sitting in the (cramped) cockpit, which filled a good portion of the top half of the torso. Plus, in the Macross movie, the machine is fairly close to ~ 4-5-ish (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jun-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)
