(...) that the fig sits in there, and the legs add alot of character. I have one small problem with it though. It looks like all of it's weapons are line of site. The police would probably like a grenade or missle launcher, so they can get to (...) (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Thank you Stuart! (...) Actually, I was mostly inspired by his Fuchikoma, which appeared the Ghost in the Shell [1] manga. I also got some inspiration from the six-legged police tank seen in Ghost in the Shell [2] anime movie. (...) Thanks (...) (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Thanks John! (...) I'd love to see this. I've been thinking about making dioramas too, but I just don't have enough pieces... Anyways, I really think you could pull it off. (...) Collaboration... Yeah! That would be awesome. I think our styles (...) (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Thanks Travis! The mini-gun was a last minute sorta thing. I actually envisioned this mecha having six back mounted grenades which were made of those axle pieces. After I saw this would be too large, I started making it smaller. (...) (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Excellent as usual, Mladen. I especially love the underside-- real bug-like, just like Shirow tends to design. It's funny, though-- I know the Shirow piece you referenced, but I don't actually remember a lot of walking tanks actually _in_ GITS (...) (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) I can't speak for the yellow ones but the black (and grey) faceless ones are quite useful to trainiacs. I use 2 black heads in each dummy truck (simulated power truck) I make. And since 3 of my MTW models use at least one dummy truck, I use a (...) (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.minifigs)
