(...) I don't think so... I can recall at least one site that wasn't a CLSotW and was in a links section (though it deserves to be a CLSotW... maybe I should nominate it, hmmm). For now, it's mostly Todd's call (what goes in the links). -Shiri (25 years ago, 18-May-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Hehe! I like the HOMER tag, Sproat. The Helldog was fun. The head was influenced by the Zaku from Gundam. I even put a couple technic gears inside with a li'l lever on his back so you could move the optical sensor around. ~M (...) (25 years ago, 17-May-00, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha)

Aw, jeez... thanks for the compliments. I don't know if I'll do that... perhaps.
