(...) Thank you Stuart! (...) Actually, I was mostly inspired by his Fuchikoma, which appeared the Ghost in the Shell [1] manga. I also got some inspiration from the six-legged police tank seen in Ghost in the Shell [2] anime movie. (...) Thanks (...) (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Thanks Travis! The mini-gun was a last minute sorta thing. I actually envisioned this mecha having six back mounted grenades which were made of those axle pieces. After I saw this would be too large, I started making it smaller. (...) (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Excellent as usual, Mladen. I especially love the underside-- real bug-like, just like Shirow tends to design. It's funny, though-- I know the Shirow piece you referenced, but I don't actually remember a lot of walking tanks actually _in_ GITS (...) (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Mladen, you have got to stop raising the bar on us. Just as I thought I could hurdle it and catch you with another great design, the hurdle goes up another six inches and trips me! :) Seriously, this is one fantastic design!
