The coolest thing to me is simply the way the suits mount to the SpyderNest. That just strikes me (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jan-03, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.build.military, lugnet.space)

The suit! Wild it is! nifty,compact, hard suit tech. Very cool. I spy handle bars, axle bushings and more. The transport with the shot of the suits are really neat. Some good building to heal the soul. e (22 years ago, 12-Jan-03, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.build.military, lugnet.space)

Nice job on the Hardsuits! I like your use of the handlebar piece on the chest. The transport is also cool, looks very chunky. (22 years ago, 12-Jan-03, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.build.military, lugnet.space)

even though i don't like the whole pop-off-the-minifig-...ts-a-mecha thing, i have to say here that the carrier is great. first, the skillful use of tiles and studs with a minimum of exposed studs is very masterfully executed. also, the way the body (...)
