Hey, those "Striders" are really cool-looking. They remind me of the "Emancipator" Herculans from Dynamix's Starsiege game. Same torso, only the Emancipator's pods were above and below the cockpit instead of the sides. (25 years ago, 24-Jul-00, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build, lugnet.build.mecha)

Just use a regular camera and then go to the store where you get your film developed and ask them to put it on a PhotoCD. Then you'll have images you can use and they'll be nice and archived as well. Cheers, ~Mark (25 years ago, 22-Jul-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.starwars)

Here's a little secret: Put a small, narrow strip of Saran Wrap around each end of the black friction pin. It'll work wonders for your mecha. You'll find that they can support much more weight this way. Enjoy. ~Mark (25 years ago, 22-Jul-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)
