Good job Joel! I wanted to congradulate you in making a good looking mech out of this world in the scale that you did. Not so easy. I love the nestled in cockpit and 'south of the border' detailing.

(...) All I'd add to that is battle armor (slightly larger than human, exoskeleton armor basically) and Super heavy/Assault Mech(a) (Walking fortresses). Rule of thumb; small=fast big=slow. But not always. Now that I think of it Warhammer 40,000 (...) (23 years ago, 13-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
