| (...) Yeah the upper arms and upper legs are thin, but that's deliberate. I've got a theory about mecha proportions: It doesn't matter how much you exaggerate the scale of the various parts, but as long as the arms are in proportion to the legs, and (...)

| (...) Thanks Dave. I haven't done a piece count, but I suspect it'd probably be a bit high to hit that price point. Cheers, Allister (20 years ago, 9-Jun-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

When I first looked at it, I thought, "why didn't he taper the waist down more", but then I saw you had a minifig pilot in that torso! Some parts are a little too thin for my taste, (...)

| (...) Much better! I think what I like about it is the way the blue defines the nose section and also how well it works as both the cockpit section and the back of the mech head. (20 years ago, 9-Jun-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) (snip) Well I think it's COOL. Very elegant design, with an understated, effortless application of really interesting bricks (esp. the complex slopes). The mini-fig pod is masterfully done. I'd definitely pay ten bucks for this if I saw it at (...) (20 years ago, 8-Jun-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

The RX-79 has a pretty good form, and i am astonished as to how you managed to make a gundam (...) (20 years ago, 7-Jun-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
