(...) Wow...he posts again. Welcome back. You were so the one who got me hooked on mecha with your Aldebaran last June. I am/was so blown away by it that I just had to build my own variation (awaiting pieces). Keep posting and building. -Joseph (20 years ago, 18-May-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) Excellent idea. As you write the best part is the rear gunner. I am looking forward to seing more pictures. However I think that the planform is too straight. The wings needs to be swept back and maybe more tapering. Christian (20 years ago, 17-May-04, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.build.military)

He's bigger. He's badder. He's Darth Maul. Check him out before he "splits!" (URL) I've gotten to the point where these things just can't be called mini-land figures anymore. But, that's ok: they're "Mike's Mini-Land" figures! It's just so much (...) (20 years ago, 17-May-04, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space, lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX) !!

Nice. I like the colors, but then, I'm a crazy man. I'm not feeling the mid-torso or the head. The cockpit just look beaky with that boom for the sensor sticking out. Perhaps if you moved the sensor pack down a couple of bricks. And what funky (...) (20 years ago, 17-May-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
