(...) You are very correct. I cannot label a toy "valkyrie" or "Zaku" if they are trademarked or copyrighted. But in this case they are not. If you go to the US Patent and Trademark Office and do a search you will note that "Zaku" is nowhere to be (...) (23 years ago, 5-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Eric, Like Chris, I thought you were headed in a completely different direction when I first saw the GG mech. I'm glad I was wrong! What's you've done with Gomgile simply has NO comparison in the mech world. Gomgile stands on it's own. So I have to (...) (23 years ago, 5-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.build.sculpture)

It's finally done! WOW! Truly stunning! The amount of parts used in this model probably rivals that of many collections. The detail level is also quite high, and many parts are very nicely contoured. New elements are used wonderfully as well. Here's (...) (23 years ago, 5-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.build.sculpture)

Congrats. It's nice to see the big guy done. Simply, well, woof. I gotta know, what kind of stresses are on this beast? I've found that the bigger I go, I think I'm pushing the limits of Lego shearing factors. How heavy is it? How transportable? (...)

Looks as if you got a good start here. The stuff your making looks like it might be pretty cool. (read on...) If what I'm seeing is correct, it looks like you made a technic sized armor suit.

Good job. I get a feeling that 2002 is going to be a good year for mecha at the rate I've been seeing stuff come out. What make up the joints, just hinges?
