Wow, Stuart! I really like this mecha. It's got a unique scale to it - small, but yet it really looks like a well proportioned mecha. I like th joint tech you've used on it - especially the studs-for-friction technique. I also like the colors on it; (...) (21 years ago, 26-May-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Limited Parts MOC - Ahh I love it when I'm supposed to be doing something else.

I always say, building is a series of compomises.

Brian, This is a fantastic variation on Gla Gla's armature! You've enhanced his basic design and made it about as sleek and lovely as humanly possible. Using red as your main color really worked for this model. Great job! -Dave (21 years ago, 25-May-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)
