I'm kinda sorry Mark, got to carried away. To tell you the truth I would like to see more people using LEGO CAD programs, because then I could actually see how peoples models are built, and learn something from it. I too, really don't mind real (...) (25 years ago, 6-Jun-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

I like the idea of trying to build gundam-like mechs, but I don't like to disassemble half of my collection to build them. I had just watched Gundam Wing the other day when I had an idea.
