(...) Thanks Keith. I'm kinda partial to the main gun myself. It just sort of fell into place. As far as being a combination of Mladen and Soren's stuff, you hit the nail on the head.

Eric love this design! The insect theme comes through strong with the six legs, compound looking green eyes, and wings to boot. The head as usual is epic with the twin proboscii mouthparts reminding me of a moth's feeding apparatus. Ryan (20 years ago, 28-Sep-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Allister this is the coolest mech I've seen in a while. You've really done a great job capturing the Mladen-esque multi-legged walker thing. All the details are good, but those legs really stand out.
