Impreszive Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 My friend and I are begining the planning stages of designing a 3 foot Lego Macross. I don't know if we will be making it transformable as of yet, but I was wondering if anyone here would be interested in helping with some design ideas. Thanks!

Impreszive Posted April 26, 2004 Author Share Posted April 26, 2004 Agreed. But we aren't doing the Valkyrie. As a matter of fact, we have almost finished ours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impreszive Posted April 26, 2004 Author Share Posted April 26, 2004 Yeah. That's some hot stuff. I never realized how many sites are out there that you can buy pieces from. Alot of folks sell their instructions as well. My friend and I are going to try and use CAD to help speed up the design process. We're gonna need alot of bricks. Hopefully we can make the DYRL version of the Macross. I like the ARMD platforms better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the ARMD platforms better. if you need specific parts and/or piece check out www.bricklink.com you can pretty much find any piece, in any color there. thats where i go for my brick needs. agent one, pics are hot! but they need to change some of the colors around.

Culverin Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 yeah blame us battletech fans... we've got all the destroids made.... www.brickcommander.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impreszive Posted April 26, 2004 Author Share Posted April 26, 2004 I wouldn't blame you. There are a ton of vehicles, mechs, and planes on that site. It reminded me of the days when I used to play BT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyowelb Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 hi, don't mean to snatch your thread but do anyone knows where i can get a lego patlbor just like the one posted on this thread http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...567&hl=patlabor thanks, d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impreszive Posted April 26, 2004 Author Share Posted April 26, 2004 I think that may have beena one time fan creation. It does look alot like something the guy on Foundry DX would do though... You may want to hit the links on Foundry DX ans check the forums. You might find more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do not disturb Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 check out brickshelf.com, mocpages.com, or lugnet.com otherwise, you can always make you're own....after all it is built out of lego. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanata67 Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 I remember a while back someone posted a link [which I promptly misplaced] to a legocad program that came with all the pieces loaded, etc. It was pretty cool... maybe somebody knows what I'm talking about? The glaug looks like it needs knex bits. Now I'm going to have to find some knex on clearence what did the guns for the destroid come from?

do not disturb Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 sweet pic! believe it or not but i don't have this program....dial-up + megs = sucks for me. besides i'm a trial and error type of guy when i build stuff. MLCAD is like cheating myself of the aggravation of building. i like it when i have those "til 5:00am in the morning" type of lego sessions.
