(...) Wow! I saw the preview pics and I also knew how hard you were working this mech. Seeing the finished mech is a sight too see. Every aspect of this mech works well together from the geared frame to the excellent detail. Very well thought out (...) (20 years ago, 8-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

This is, by far, a mech with extreme coolness factor. I can almost see the missile salvos going off... and that kind of imagination is something I have in short supply nowadays. Great work man, Great work. Oz (20 years ago, 8-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

It looks Avian, but at the same time Saurian. For some reason, I think this mecha would look good with a dinosaur-like tail. You know, you can articulate a long tail with a dozen worm gears... Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned this. You'll dry up the (...) (20 years ago, 7-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
