Amazing creation! I am still dazzled, even though I couldn't see "Fred" live. The pictures are very good, so I managed to sense the "scale" of the model... the word that comes to mind is none other than "Grosse"! (hence, the name: your own + "the (...)

Thanks Joel, I've thought about doing some more diaramas, but I would have to tear down the one I have now and I'm not sure I want to do that. Another problem is I'd have to use some small model kit figures if I want to add people to the scenes, (...) (23 years ago, 21-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
