I really like this hard-suit because it is similar to Ron and Randy's battle armour which was about the size of a mini-fig. Oh! This model was inspired by the anime movie: Big Wars.

Thanks, Ben, I have to say your site is excellent too. It's been a while since I've been to marsbase so I hadn't seen some of your latest mechs. The Ronin and Kodiak are REALLY nice.

Same story with me, Ben. I've got 5 mecha up and two more awaiting photographing, and only 3 aerospace and two wheeled/tracked. (Although the M3V counts as 3 so far, I guess.) That's okay, though, because mecha are just cooler! You don't see them in (...) (25 years ago, 23-Feb-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)
