I thought I'd share this as I've seen some postings asking about this very sort of building. One of my mechs, Hammer, fell and had a boo boo. Atomized would be the word. So anway I'm taking it all in stride and building a new mech. I'm gonna call (...) (20 years ago, 14-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX) !

(...) Quite the remake of the Gomgile. I'll admit right off that I know near-to-jack about mecha, but I can say the posture of the mech is much improved. B looks eternally ready to pounce. I want to see this in real life, your mechas have so much (...) (20 years ago, 14-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Scott, thank you. You do make good points. I appreciate your words. If you place your cursor over the picture links, I embedded construction highlights within the thumb links. That is all I wanted to add. I felt the Mecha exhibited only a handful of (...) (20 years ago, 13-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Perhaps if you wrote down in your original post all the improvements you made to the Mech, people would appreciate it, and look at (...) (20 years ago, 13-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Teikiatsu Ver.2 (URL) thought i rushed the first version so this is my attempt to fix it. The changes are obvious. I think the head could still be better but that is the way it will be for now. Thanks. Marcus (20 years ago, 13-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)
