Hi Fradel, great military Mecha MOC. The color scheme and the bulkyness of the overall shape I like very much. The legs are my absolute favorite, followed by the body/double cockpit. Both are very inovative, IMO. Regarding the other Mecha shown on (...) (19 years ago, 13-Feb-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
