| | Re: The Blue, the Red or the Green?
|
|
(...) They all look nice, but I think the blue is the coolest - it gives the best contrast to all three mechs. The red tends to subdue the red mech, and the grey fades a bit against the green.

(...) I second that. I'm quite novice at virtual building, but Bricksmith has proven very straightforward to use (it's event better with two screens, too), and very convivial.
