| I have to say that up until I began typing this post, I was excited; now I have to say that it's with a bit of fear and trepidation that I offer up proof that I do, indeed, do more than post around here. :) (URL) recon/infiltration mech that I have (...)

| (...) blue ufo head to a human smiley is a nice touch, too. I did not notice the mines until you pointed them out - so there ARE uses for those little critters! I think more of them as micro robots that infest an enemy's mech and get into the (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jan-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

I wanted to use a head that would indicate that the electronics of the surveillance and navigation systems were integrated into the pilot's uniform and helmet - the UFO bodies just seemed perfect, but since the pilot IS human.. I needed a (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jan-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

| Great looking mech. That's the best looking spider mech I think I've ever seen. Great work. What's next? (24 years ago, 10-Jan-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

The whole thing looks complete...I mean without any rough areas that look like they still need work. The spider mine (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jan-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

I like the whole thing, looks clean and simple and conveys the idea very nicely (expect some copied ideas from it :-) ...The mine delivery system is both funny and cool... momma (...)

I've been building for probably 6 months but couldn't justify the cost on film and developing - so.. as I get the images edited and such, I'll be sharing (...)

I can hear it now..."the PFP is the hip which makes the mecha take a bow...with many SFP (secondary fragile point) in the elbows and knees". :-) (...) I like the surveilance (...)
