Thanks Joel, it did take me a while to create BLAST, but that is mostly
because it is my first website, so there was the inevitable learning curve.

The Armadillo seems to be another popular design, which is interesting,
considering is simplicity. I have to say I don’t think I'm familiar with the
Elemental battle armor from Battletech of which you refer. So unless my
subconscious is at work, the Armadillo's resemblance is coincidence.

I am pretty proud of the Raven, especially considering it is a couple of
years old. The legs are nothing more then technic connector pieces with
robot arm and minifig axes added to resemble pistons and junk.
Black Lego is interesting when it comes to photos. As you said it does not
reveal detail very well, but that very fact also tends to hide gaps, studs
and holes that are inherent to Lego, so I kind of like it.

I can only take credit for the look of the Hunter, the actual concept of a
robotic anti-tank weapon was developed by the U.S. military.

Well what can I say, I am glad you liked the Maiden, I did too, which is why
I reworked It into the Super-Maiden. Personally I prefer the Super over the
Maiden but hey, to each his own.

I plan on address that.

Well, I hope to live up to that expectation.

I checked out your site and I was particularly impressed with the AT-ST and
the AT-AT, but as I have said before I am partial to mecha, no matter what
kind. But I also liked your F-4U Corsair, as a kid this was may favorite
W.W.II fighter. You have done and excellent job of capturing its likeness
and retractable landing gear? great!
