(...) That's putting it mildly! This is a stunning piece of work! Just drop dead, fall-on-the-floor admirable! It would be one thing to make it, but then at this scale, and with such detail, and such accuracy, and such poseability! OMG! I can't (...) (23 years ago, 17-Mar-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

OOOOH!!! That gets my mecha juices flowing!! I love the head and the legs. I want to know where he(?) got that chrome radar dish. Is that model all ball joints? I wonder how it can pose with just ball joints...I've tried them and they are too weak (...) (23 years ago, 17-Mar-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

The revolver is obviously just a couple parts, but your mind wants to fill in the details. It's very well done. (...) (23 years ago, 17-Mar-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Yes, finished! And the reason I was able to complete the little bot is because my local Lego pal Brian Sadowski generously kicked in the remaining needed parts from his stock of Yellow. Thanks Brian!!!! How much? Well considering that the LSB (...) (23 years ago, 16-Mar-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

This is so strange for me to build multiples of a mech. But here they are. Something about the poseability that gets me. Even if it's missing a couple of ranges of movement.
