another great microfig model, sproat.
i get the impression some of your models (and other creators' stuff too) is
based on novels, cartoons, or even computer games but i can never figure out
where these items originate.  would you mind telling me where you get your

this question goes out to other creators out there also.  i get the impression
a lot of mech designs come from 'battletech' (which i deduce is a pc game of

help me out guys and gals, i'm sure i'll sound like an idiot for asking but i'm
not enough into current trends to know this stuff.

much appreciated.
