(...) Nice work, as always Tim - you're certainly one of the most prolific mech builders of recent times! We've had the first Christmas beetles of the season flying into our house this past weekend. Nice choice of colours (your artistic license has (...) (19 years ago, 20-Nov-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Hi all, Well I've posted this on some other sites but figured maybe it would be of interest to people here. Anyway, here is my Christmas Beetle mech, with luck I'll be able to bring it the the BUGS meeting but we'll see how my luggage holds up. (2 (...)

I don't know that I'd see the Rabbit Wrecker before. I like it--it's a nice whimsical design. The bay looks cool too, but since the pictures aren't public yet I can't say a whole lot more than that. Good work! Peter (19 years ago, 20-Nov-06, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) I agree with Tim. It looks fine to me. If there were any mirroring going on, then either the orange and red would be swapped on the unwrapped box, or the green and grey would be swapped. The picture in LDView has a rotated camera angle (...) (19 years ago, 19-Nov-06, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)

(...) That looks like a correct mapping to me. Unless I'm mistaken the red and orange are on the same sides in both pictures. The unwrapped boxes are definitely identical and unless you've moved them in one or the other the whole thing is right. Tim (19 years ago, 19-Nov-06, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)

Hi, Here's my box test model in SketchUp. (The above model is the same model unfolded.)
