| | | Hey all I present the successor to the Visage, the Visage II! Please pardon the almost 2 week delay between my promise of pictures, and the follow through, I must admit though the model is much improved since two weeks ago though.=^) The main (...)

I tend to think that it is one of the cooler 'look-at' styles, but man, it is a real pain to get it that way. (...) Wow, four (...) (21 years ago, 18-Jan-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| | | | | (...) It can be tempting to add all sorts of frills and fringe to a design, and I think your design stands out because you didn't. Makes it look more realistic IMHO.
