It is always great to see new models by you Karim. You know, I think it was you and Ben Vaughn who got me back into Lego building about 1.5 years ago. I remember feeling very inspired by your earlier work. Your line of microfig scale capital ships (...) (24 years ago, 31-Jul-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.publish)

Mine are very tightly packed by using 8 1x2 plates with handle, and 2 1x1 plate clip lights. BTW I downloaded the .dat files for the Scarab and Panther, very nice!

I love the chain gun on your new mecha. I was watching Gundam Wing the other day, and I was thinking "Why not make a chain gun like HeavyArms?" Looks like you beat me to it. ;^) I love the use of parts to make the curved bow on the spaceliner too. (...) (24 years ago, 31-Jul-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.publish)

Wow! Amazing as usual! I see on the back of your Scarab Field Unit, it has those flags set vertically.

Great work, Karim! I always enjoy seeing your new models; I particularly like the passenger liner; you've really captured the essence of a luxury cruiser there.

Simply amazing. I wish there were more close-ups so I could study some of the techniques used in building the mecha. I can see that I have a lot to learn in the realm of mecha building. Thanks for sharing with us, Ken! ~Mark (24 years ago, 30-Jul-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)
