Hello, .spacers, I’ve posted in .build.mecha for a while now, but this is my first time posting here. I’ve built a ground-attack aircraft named the “Bolt” (okay, I’m probably better at building ‘em than naming ‘em).



The cockpit has room for a pilot, weapons officer and communications officer. It carries several big missiles, and one big gun. It’s primary role is to take out mechs.

Here’s why I love Lugnet:

The “Bolt’s” engines were inspired by Keith Goldman’s “Lo Pan” and Soren Roberts’ “Voodoo Child”. The technic-tube gatling gun was originally Mark Neumann’s (although I think the idea to mount it on one of the AT-TE ball joints is mine). And I never even attempted landing gear until I saw some excellent examples right here in .space. This forum is unbeatable for inspiration.

So, PLMKWYT

Hey Kyle, This thing is prettier than me with makeup on. Seriously, though, the stomach-lurching angles you've got those studs in is great. You got the anime-esque angry spaceship look down.

The phrase "penultimate sexiness" comes to mind. Great design. I love the engines, the cockpit and the angles around the nose. Great job! Soren (20 years ago, 5-Jun-04, to lugnet.space)

Excellent work Kyle! I love the aggressive look it has. I also like the ridiculously huge gatling gun up front... It just adds to the wackiness, in a good way! :-) The only thing that doesn't make sense to me is your grouping of those three (...) (20 years ago, 6-Jun-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) I love this thing! So many excellent angles. I am impressed that you managed to use such a large canopy on a pretty small ship. And I don't care what those other folks say, I like the long gun, it gives the imression that it snipes the mechs (...) (20 years ago, 6-Jun-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Wow! First the Antimech aircraft and now the Bolt. It is absolutelly great! I wish I could single out what my favorite part of the Bolt is but I love everything about it. I keep getting impressed by your MOCs. Keep them coming. David. (20 years ago, 7-Jun-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
