Mecha : 6070


Building / Mecha / 6070

Agiel —Bryce McGlone
I've posted pictures of my new mecha on Brickshelf. (URL) a quick run down for those who are curious. Some armor attaches via magnets. The whole mecha can kneel (I think it's a first for a model this size) Stands about 32" Fiber optics in the chest (...) (23 years ago, 2-Mar-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

	(...) Awesome feature!!! I encountered the magnetic feature on the U.F.O. Interstellar Starfighter but I never thought of that as a way to attach armor, Ingenious! (...) You've got to see this feature up close, cause, I guess it's the only way (...) (23 years ago, 2-Mar-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

	Re: Agiel —Christopher Snead
	(...) first mecha of that size to kneel. I love the red halo of magic you gave it in your pics. I think, like so many of your other mecha, this one must be experienced IRL. I still can't get over the clean feel of the armor magnetically snapping (...) (23 years ago, 2-Mar-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

	(...) (URL) is glorious!!!!! You seem to have placed yourself in quite the predicament now. I mean, what can you build now that will be better than this guy? Wow! Bobby (23 years ago, 2-Mar-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

		Re: Agiel —Bryce McGlone
		(...) Wow a non-Gundam that Bobby likes? Cool! Don't worry about what's next; I'm always obsessing about the next project. (23 years ago, 11-Mar-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

	Re: Agiel —Geordan Hankinson
	Wow Bryce! This is incredible, I really love the smooth armour all over, do you have some pics with the armour removed?

	Re: Agiel —John Aronson
	(...) The mecha design bar is raised once again. When will everyone reach there limits? How perfect can you build a mech? The gap is closing. You, like many of the other skilled bulders [not me] countinue to set the standard. Thanks for the (...) (23 years ago, 3-Mar-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

		Re: Agiel —Matt Hein
		Whoa! That's crazy! Although I'm not a fan of gundam wing (or any of those other mecha shows), I am continually fascinated by these mecha designs. Keep it up! <<_Matt Hein_>> Lugnet member No. 1112 (23 years ago, 3-Mar-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

		Re: Agiel —Bryce McGlone
		(...) Thank you John. IMO most of the mecha builders have tons of mutual admiration. I'm just one of them trying to build the shapes and combinations that taunt me day and night. ;-) (23 years ago, 11-Mar-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

	Re: Agiel —Mark Neumann
	Dang, that's cool. I love your use of the magnets for the armor. Looks good and flows nicely into the pattern of the mecha as a whole. (what? scaled/scalloped?) The legs look a bit spindly to me, but then again the mecha is rather lithe looking so (...) (23 years ago, 3-Mar-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

	Re: Agiel —Eric Sophie
	When I first saw you carry that thing over to the table, I couldn't beleive it. I was captivated at the glory of such a thing. As I came around the front and saw the way the head and chest and oh man wow. Then I got to check it out all afternoon and (...) (23 years ago, 3-Mar-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

	Re: Agiel —Stuart Immonen
	Oh, man! Well, the Brickswest photos took _some_ of the mystery out of the unveiling, but took _none_ of the jaw-dropping awe-inspiring feeling away. Agiel is at once terrifying and beautiful-- like a king cobra or a super-nova. The scale, the (...) (23 years ago, 12-Mar-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
