|
| (...) Thanks. :) I do have a style of my own, don't I. ;-) (...) Never thought about it that way, the fact it does look armored because of those facts. Nice thoughts on vacu-forming. :) (...) I wanted contrast, and black didn't look right.while (...) (21 years ago, 28-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Yeah, I forgot about those pesky missiles in design, Soren broguht it up. I also am a fan of bridge towers, ranging from full flying bridges to the armored barely sticking out kind. I based the protrude on front off the Sulaco of Aliens fame. (...) (21 years ago, 28-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Thanks! And that was only a second resort after I couldnt get the original shape to work. :) (...) Yeah, but I don't like the look of smooth ships, But the gaps did need to be filled up. The way the ship is angled, it prevents the 2xN sections (...) (21 years ago, 28-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| Dude, one ton? I'm not even considdering using enough armor to withstand an artillery or missle barrage. That's way to inconcieveable. That kind of PA wouldn't be woth the trouble. Lightweight, durable materials like carbon fiber, magnesium alloys, (...) (21 years ago, 28-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Okay I took your advice, (URL) I think that maybe I put more than a splash of red on it, but it still looks good (21 years ago, 28-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) I gotta agree, I like that armored plate look too. Looks like she can stand to take a few hits. (...) Darn Lego brick shortage. Too many times I have had to sacrifice elegant color design for lack of resources. But, I don't thing that a (...) (21 years ago, 28-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Goo Gone works pretty well. You can also reduce the amount of goo that you need to clean off by chucking it in the freezer for a few hours before you peel the label free. (21 years ago, 28-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Tanks or Power Armor
|
| (...) Okay, now you're just fantasizing. A human-sized PA would probably weigh at least half a ton, so it'd need a huge boost to get off the ground. To get enough boost for airlift that doesn't look sluggish, you're probably looking at having to (...) (21 years ago, 28-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Well, the driver ought to be fine...assuming the turret crew doesn't collectively puke all over him, that is... (hmm, imagine them spinning around like that at full speed with the governor removed) But yeah, if a mecha/PA tries advancing on an (...)

| (...) As odd as this might sound, it's really not as play-friendly as you might think. I live in a tiny little upstairs apartment (it feels a bit cramped at times, but I don't have to split the rent, so I don't have any roommates complaining about (...)

| (...) None of these statements about Power Armor can be considered factual as none are in existance, nor are they being used by ANY military for tests or used in actual combat. You'd be amazed at how powerful REAL LIFE weapons can be. Ever thought (...) (21 years ago, 28-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)
| | | | | Re: SHOTTLE!
|
| That was too funny! I have to admit while sitting here going through the first pages, I was stumped as to where you were taking this funny round brown hubcap attached to the back end of your ship. In fact I didn't even recognize what the hubcap was (...) (21 years ago, 28-Aug-04, to lugnet.space)

| That rawks. You should have kept it from us to win a lame parts contest :P So, how did you go about getting rid of the label adhesive that they so generously slathered all over the container? Kevin (21 years ago, 28-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Tanks or Power Armor

| I believe that tanks will stay in service, but will eventually face competition from PA. Many people have justified that the size of MECHA will keep tanks in service, bypassing the issue that even the modern PA is still roughly human sized. While a (...)

| (...) Rick, What a cool ship! I like the hint of familiar, but clearly your own design. The overall form and function seem to fit flawlessly. And I'd disagree with the first two posters about gaps and tiling the sides. I like the armored look that (...) (21 years ago, 28-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Tanks or Power Armor
|
| (...) A mecha would have a very hard time getting close enough to make hand-to-hand relevant. A M1A1's turret can do a 360 and stop on a dime from a dead start in 1 second. It's not the most comfortable thing to do for the crew inside but it does (...) (21 years ago, 28-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

He's ex armor, has lots of neat ideas and cool fighting scenes. Imagine hover (...) (21 years ago, 28-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Cool, I'm glad you like the cargo sloop! It really just started out as simple grey platform with a railing to test the dimensions of the inside of the can, but after a while it became a MOC of it's own. And, I just had to sneak some Bionicle (...) (21 years ago, 28-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) That settles it: I'm coming over your house to play! ;-) That's how I get all my Bionicle, too -- on clearance. I usually only pick up a bunch here and there as I need the particular colors for something I want to build, like if I'm running (...) (21 years ago, 28-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Tanks or Power Armor
|
| (...) If military history has shown us anything, it's that nothing is immune to landmines if it moves. It's just a matter of developing a landmine that's capable of being triggered by a hover tank (and trust me, if hover tanks happen, someone will (...)
