| Eric, I got to salute you on this, fantastic idea! It was a lot of fun seeing Skrylitch come together. Making me think I aught to so something similar. Then this really will be BUILD.mecha cool. Mark (20 years ago, 1-Jun-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| (...) Now that's pretty. Great job on the arms, this version is perfect. And it's amazing how changing the arms makes the torso come into proportion. Everything looks nice there. The ankles are very good, but maybe the feet could be widened by a (...) (20 years ago, 1-Jun-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| (...) I must admit I thought the original versio was pretty ordinary, but you're redesign has taken it from what looked like a first mech to something that looks like you've been building mech for years. The new legs are a treat. Cheating is allowed (...) (20 years ago, 1-Jun-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| Here are some slightly better pics. I completely redid the arms and beefed up the ankle joint, but I'm still stuck on the hands. This model is the perfect size to keep any hand I've seen from being proportionally correct. (2 URLs) Enjoy. -Brayton (20 years ago, 31-May-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| Great job, it has a lot of personality! It is very kangaroo-like. It does not appear to be heavily armed though, but maybe equipping it with huge rocket launchers, missile racks and a railgun would detract from the main theme. Can't help but wonder (...)

| Wow. That's really cool. I'd like to see it fight Adrian's turkey to the death. Really beautiful construction, too. The legs are my favorite, lots of schleim. I'm kind of disapointed that the pouch doesn't launch a mini Roomech though... Soren (20 years ago, 31-May-04, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.build.mecha)
