    My First Mech —Wayne McCaul
   I know it's not anything spectacular, but it's my first attempt at making anything mech. I built it for an upcoming BrikWar game as a fast recon mech. I think I'm justifying the "ears" as heat foils to help bleed off the access energy it generates (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.gaming)

     (...) Ahhh- I'd like to see some pictures of it in action, I looove brikwars write-ups with pictures. You are taking pictures, right? >as a fast recon mech. (...) Actually, interesting is a better word... With brikwars, every thing is silly. (...) (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.gaming)
   
        Re: My First Mech —Eric Sophie
     I think it's pretty cool, infact I would encourage you to make more. I like the main cabin or upper part of the Mech. Hey make sure your Mech wins in the game! Uphold the honor of the Mech group! We shall send re-inforcements!...ok getting carried (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.gaming)
    
         Re: My First Mech —Wayne McCaul
     Thanks. Yes, I do plan to try and see what other mechs I can make. I need at least two more for the game itself. Preferably with more heavy firepower and armor (without bankrupting the CP limit). Whatever I manage to throw together, I'll post them (...) (23 years ago, 29-Jan-02, to lugnet.fun)
   
        Re: My First Mech —Dave Johann
     Nice Job, Wayne! It's got all the basic requirements of a 'mech'-thin legs, big feet, joints and guns. As basic as it is, that seems to be a great starting point for something larger in the future. As much as I like the ears, I'm not sure they fit (...)

        Re: My First Mech —Chris Maddison
     Wayne, cool little fella for a mass-produced Brikwars army. But I think there's a few too many colors in there for my tastes. Plus, I'm not a big fan of those dome plate thingies for feet. But I do like the form of the legs, and the ears give it (...) (23 years ago, 29-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.gaming)
    
         Re: My First Mech —Wayne McCaul
     Thanks Chris. Oh it's psychological warfare alright. We anticipate that, while the enemy is laughing their heads off, our regular forces will sweep in and decimate their defenses. Victory is to the bunny. *** I'm still working on construction. This (...) (23 years ago, 29-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.gaming)

     BRING IT ON! The Red-Rabbit mech can run sooooo fast, the Nesquick Bunny will only see a blurring red streak... as it runs pell-mell in retreat.

        Re: My First Mech —Mark Neumann
   I thought this was a fine first mech. The next few things you might want to work on is softening up the edges a little bit, and make the legs a little more mobile. Legs that are perpetually stuck facing straight forwards give a mech a strange look I (...) (23 years ago, 29-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.gaming)
   
        Re: My First Mech —Wayne McCaul
   Thanks Mark. Well, we haven't had our game yet (it's not until the middle of next month - I'm notoriously lax in having my forces ready in time, so I'm starting early). When we do, there should be a fair amount of pics. I thought about using hinges (...) (23 years ago, 29-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.gaming)
   
        Another BrikWars Mech —Wayne McCaul
   Okay here's number two. It's a medium-sized rocket Mech for an upcoming BrikWars game. It has two banks of 4 MkII missiles and two sets of 2 MkII lasers. With extra armor (if I've done the math right) bears it out at 180CP (sans the pilot). Anyway, (...) (23 years ago, 6-Feb-02, to lugnet.gaming, lugnet.build.mecha)
   
        Re: Another BrikWars Mech —Mark Neumann
   Cool! You managed to use two rather difficult pieces together to make a really cool looking torso. The canopy with the "18" is perfect. The mech's got birthing hips but it balaces out nicely with the upper body. Making kind of a figure eight shape. (...) (23 years ago, 6-Feb-02, to lugnet.gaming, lugnet.build.mecha)
