| (...) Hello Mark, happy to see your still building MOC bringing discussions to .mecha which face the true sense of it - the MOC and the brick. Beside that I have to admit I wouldn't have recognized the MTM-168 as a "Neumann". Where did you hide (...) (19 years ago, 26-Oct-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

That doubling up of ball socket joints make them very, very strong. The weakest postions (...) (19 years ago, 26-Oct-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
