On the note of real-build mechs, here's a corporate-built one for the Heavy Gear series:

The problem is that you get kids saying:
"Well at least my dad built me a mech."
"Damn."
And then you get the fathers having to tell their kids no when they want one.
I wonder if that tank the other guy's father built his son could take on that mech.

Tee-hee, very interesting. Lot of effort put into it.
A tank clubhouse/fort would be interesting, too. I just wan't a Powerloader, though.

What he couldn't spend a little and make a gundam?!
Lol, that is really cool though, there must be a total nerd behind that capentry facade.

You do know that Gundam mobile suits are about 60 feet tall, right? That gear is less then 20 feet standing at full height.

I think he was talking about the 38% scale Mad Cat. The Gear's less than 15 feet (4.1 meters). The 'Cat looks to be about 18-20 feet tall. The body is taller than the builder, and the 'Cat's body only cleared the garage by an inch. 30 feet of steel was used, allowing for ~ 10' legs (given that the frame the body sits on appears to be steel as well). If we assume a 8' garage, this give a 17'11" mech. Also, the feet are sunk three feet in the ground, so whatever height might be determined by the top photograph is three feet smaller than the total construction.Spanky The Dolphin wrote:A little?!SyntaxVorlon wrote:What he couldn't spend a little and make a gundam?!

Thats pretty cool. I wonder where it is? I know a lot of cities in CA have banned tree/play houses because of insurance or lawsuits.

Damn frivilous laws that keep kids from being kids. Dangit if I didn't fall out of my tree house and bust my ass a couple times, but, it taught me a few things, like not to try to jump down the ladder....
Just shows the soccer mom overprotectiveness mindset that is infecting the country. Dang, I rode a bycycle when I was a kid *gasp* without a HELMET!
As I said, getting my butt busted a few times taught me really quick not to do stupid things.

I'm waiting for Shep to drive by in a King Tiger, blow the legs off the fort, and then lecture the crying children on how much mechs suck ass.
