Thanks for checking out the other stuff too. I'll try (...) (19 years ago, 12-Feb-06, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Crap... Sorry about replying to my own post, but I forgot the credits: The loco headlamp was basically done by Tim Gould, (thanks!) and the window-as-ladder is taken off of Beat Felber's (URL) work>. Legoswami (19 years ago, 11-Feb-06, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

Well okay they're both CAD but I'm reasonably sure the construction techniques work.

Having the reverse-knee armor plating mounted on a separate set of click-hinges is an inventive way of armoring-up those Exo-Force joints. I had a look at the (...)

For what it's worth, I think Brian Cooper's Bandolero was my favourite right from the start. The story was lost a little on me since I don't hardly speak a word of Spanish.

Ah, the cab windows seemed harder to pull off than the side windows, which is why I focused on those.

Hi Fradel, It's a good military Mecha MOC but the legs are so chunky it looks to me like a Mech that's 'eaten' too much. Maybe you should have called it 'Max Body Fat'?
