Dang, that's cool. I love your use of the magnets for the armor. Looks good and flows nicely into the pattern of the mecha as a whole. (what? scaled/scalloped?) The legs look a bit spindly to me, but then again the mecha is rather lithe looking so (...) (23 years ago, 3-Mar-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
