(...) OMG, I'll say. That's cool Tony. Crossposted to .mecha. (I'll update the sidebar too.) That's pretty hip, I'm mostly impressed by the fact you got two levers that'll hold the bot up. More impressed that the levers hold all the weight. Cool. (...) (19 years ago, 4-May-05, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) Either way, space is more fun! I really like it Lenny, but all the black should be switched with dark gray. Then exchange the light gray with white that you'll buy from stores.

Hey Lenny, I suspect you missed the joke and that, like Mark's post downthread, Steve was mimicking Marvin's version of high praise. That said, you can't imagine how many "but Orthanc doesn't really look like that, because Peter Jackson says so" (...) (19 years ago, 3-May-05, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) Well thanks, I guess. He does have Marvin's giant spherical head. And his droopy eyes. I guess that doesn't really count in the "absolutely nothing like him." Maybe I should have added that I didn't have the parts to do him in white (he's not (...) (19 years ago, 3-May-05, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
