Michael, Welcome to Lugnet! Great models. I can't give any advice on construction as mecha aren't my thing (I'm a castle guy). On photography, your photos are a little shaded (except the last folder named "Thingies"). Sunlight is great. I personally (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

yeah, the legs are in two parts. however, at the moment I can't get the linkage between the halves strong enough, so they're just kinda fused together for now. I'll revise the legs a little later, try to get them more accurate to the "prototype". I (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jul-02, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.mecha)

I just added some detail pics of the cockpit into the directory... they're the "MGRcXX" ones, obviously.

That is pretty sick. Would love to see the cockpit area (if there is one). I'm trying to decide if I like the underside of the plates for the top of that beast. I don't hate it, but I guess I'm spoiled by all the studless tiled Mecha we've been (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jul-02, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.mecha)

The legs tilt and swivel at the hip, making it so no matter what the angle of the legs, the foot can stand flat. Also, because of the hip mobility, the body (...)
