(...) Fantastic pics, as usual, Bryce! Hopefully, both our efforts will end up in creating a 'Big Blue' that has full articulation with a minimal weight problem. It will be tough, but I think we're both well on the way to doing it. I'd like to think (...) (24 years ago, 14-Nov-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) I really like the scorpion. It looks like a solid killing machine...nice clean lines too. I'm not a big fan of the Star Wars guns, but those claws work very well. I look forward to seeing more of your work. Bryce (24 years ago, 13-Nov-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Hi, I'm Ken Leong, 41 years old, and I just came out of my "dark ages" a few months ago when I was inspired by the LEGO Mechwarrior site to build a few Mechs of my own. You can see some samples of my work at: (URL) fun and build well! "BrickPig" (24 years ago, 12-Nov-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Hi Dave. I really like the Yetrigar, with all the trans-green. Very cool. It reminds me of the Iron Giant when he changed into his "war" mode. Your other mecha are also very nice.
