I'm still stuck on plating on any mecha designs that I do, although I nearly have enough pieces for the skeletal structure of my mecha. This lack of plates disturbs me enough that I continuously tear down everything that I build. What's a good (...) (23 years ago, 5-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Thanks Eric. The helmet was the first or second thing built. The modified engine might have been first. I just made a new set of hands. I'll have new images up in a day or so.
