Hello everyone I thought I would spotlight a few castle-related custom minifigures of mine that were recently put up on Brickshelf. These are very old MOCs, dating back at least a decade, but they've only recently had their pictures taken. I've (...)

Hey Mark, thanks for your feedback. (...) First I had the idea that a heavy mecha should have some escort. The next thought that came to my mind was "How small can a geared mech be?". So I gave it a try... (...) Did you think of something like this? (...) (19 years ago, 10-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

These things are kind of goofy looking at the offset, but I really like the feel. In a similar way I didn't like the way of the ED-209 at first, these got a very viceral feel for me. They look like something straight out of a comic book or video (...) (19 years ago, 9-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
