Man, that is pretty cool! I gotta say, my favorite thing about this mecha is the foot design - brilliant! If I have to criticize anything, my one critique would be that you used the SW click hinges for the knees, unlike the compact worm design for (...) (22 years ago, 4-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)
