| (...) Hehe. Inspiration can come from anywhere eh? These are good looking mechs. I especially appreciate the skeleton shot. I should do that sometimes. This is, after all, .build.mecha. It's an interesting style - very brutish, but realistic, if (...) (20 years ago, 21-Jul-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| Gorgeous mechs you got there! You really have a style of your own Kyle. The mechs look so crisp and vivid that one would think they were ripped straight from some Saturday morning cartoon. I also greatly admire the way you built the Spartan mech. It (...) (20 years ago, 21-Jul-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

I give them silly names just so I can easily refer to them later, instead of saying, "hey, remember my LX13.4 Z000 YC500 Mecha?" (...) Hehe. ;-) (...) Well, people here on (...)

| Snip (...) I'm using 640x480 right now. I'm thinking of going with higher res pics and shrinking them down in photoshop, so I can keep the pixel count higher.
