I definitely like the landing gear. Simple to build, yet visually tasty. I also like the taper along the aft section of the body. I haven't figured out how to taper properly - yet. You and Rick seem to have a knack for pulling that off. -Duane (...) (23 years ago, 9-Oct-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military)

Thanks for your comments Chris. I worked on getting better articulation in a small scale for a long time. After I am done with the dropship I will work on the legs. I hope I get some time to post more pictures and if anyone is interested I will (...) (23 years ago, 9-Oct-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

The camera I use makes the top look larger than the bottom; unfortunately, the dark grey carpet makes a good background for the red and black. so I'm always shooting from above.

Wow, I love these guys! The articulation in the arms is great for holding the gun, and the minifig fits perfectly.

Very nice Chris! I really like the sword! You've done a great job with the face using basic pieces. The skirt is particularly well done. The hinge on the front rocks. Also those hands are great.
