(...) Okay, I'm a bigger loon, so I thought it might be do-able, but unless you can get tiles a lot cheaper than I can, or I've done the calculation incorrectly, it'd be $2500 *per side*, and that's just the tiles. Not as bad as my minifig-scale (...) (22 years ago, 20-Jan-03, to lugnet.build)

Geordan! Awww man! The armor! The frame! Great work. I must say the use of the minifig legs as joints is very 'ol skool'! That is a great idea. I am partial to studless designs and this takes the cake! How many showing studs, 8 maybe? Pure (...) (22 years ago, 20-Jan-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

G-Miest! I'm always in awe of how you make those Frame's and then layer the Armour all around! I enjoy seeing how you make Mecha. You have really got the removeable Armour technique down. The feet are interesting, as is the head. One other thing I (...) (22 years ago, 19-Jan-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)
