"8 JUMBO Crayons"!!! :) Very fun model. I thought at first it was just the outside of the box and one crayon (as shown in the first pic). That in itself was great. The fact that you have all 8 colors is an added bonus. Oh, all the text is very cool, (...) (21 years ago, 6-Oct-03, to lugnet.build.sculpture)

(...) This is a wonderful build, Dan. It's just so...clean. The slightly pumped up scale of it is excellent as well. I especially like the colour/detailing of the lower legs...it's almost like an x-wing-ish motiff. Great stuff. Cheers, -Gil (21 years ago, 6-Oct-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Two reasons. One, using a motor didn't occur to me. ;) Two, I don't have any rotation sensors either.

Hi I am new to LUGNET and just wanted to say "hello" and find out how active this newsgroup is. There are a lot of military mocs being built out there and I am curious to hear what kind of projects people are working on. That's all. Chris (URL) (21 years ago, 6-Oct-03, to lugnet.build.military)
