I just finished posting photos of my latest anime/mech MOC, the (URL) MFX-02 Ishtar> by Symbol.

(...) Thank you, the credit goes to the .Spacers for the great idea. The Moonbase Concept is taking off like wild fire!

I've been building mecha for a couple months now, and I know what you mean. It's difficult to get leg joints that can support the weight of a full-torso mech. You did a great job and I'm impressed how far down you've gotten the knee is some of those (...) (21 years ago, 18-Aug-03, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

From what i see it looks to be a very nice looking mecha. For some reason the leg looks like something from the anime series "Blue Gender" as the "wheels" on the feet are reminiscent of the armored trikes on the show. Can't wait to see the whole (...)
