(...) I'm working on another mech, (the leg structure I used in Kogeru worked so well that I wanted to do another one) and paused to take pics of the leg frame work. Note that the rest of the model is mostly brickwork, this is about all the frame (...) (19 years ago, 2-May-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

New pose from my Strike Gundam: (URL) able to do half-kneeling pose was one of my objective when I build it. No modification to the original model was needed to make this pose, other than removing the optional Aile back-pack. The Strike Gundam was (...) (19 years ago, 2-May-05, to lugnet.build.mecha) !

I do recommend the cockpit part, it gives you a great sharp (...) (19 years ago, 30-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) I think most of my stuff winds up having a little "cute" content in it. I'd credit (blame?) the anime influence. BTW, I have to confess the wheels don't turn freely, so the model doesn't roll (they're wrapped around 1x1 cylinders). (19 years ago, 30-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Is that so, or is that a system of covers? 2) Do you have better (...) (19 years ago, 30-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Well, Mark, I did take a few small liberties, but I kept the overall 'feel' of the mech the same. I didn't want to change the shape unless I absolutely had to. I like the 'multiple variations' idea. I've been tempted to pick up a couple more and (...) (19 years ago, 29-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
