Wow, that is very cool, Mladen! Good to see a new mech from you. The legs look really nice- the detailing and greeblies on them work well. The big gun is great too, and the dishes at the back of the MTP really work well- they remind me of those on (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jan-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) That's my favorite, too. The Citigroup building didn't look like much of anything until I started adding the subterrania, and now I love the way it came out.
