Ah umm, ok now. So, obviously I was quite in a need of something special for
right this occasion. How about a huge LEGO Dropship? Or an even bigger and even
more impressive LEGO palace? Or maybe a LEGO XXXX?
Hehe sorry, I had to X-out that last idea in order to save it for later ... ;)

MMM, Minifig scale Lego dropship *drool*

I decided on rather doing a special BattleMech. Something really spectacular and
unheard of, you know. I had this "Mechwarrior: Dark Age" figure of a Project
Phoenix Warhammer IIC sitting near my screen since the "MW:DA" expansion "Liao
Incursion" came out, challenging me to build it. It was one of the best new
designs so far, and it even was a unique fig for my favorite faction! The
sculptor did a really good job on it too, down to duplicating the Mech's
slightly awkward pose from the Technical Readout's artwork. In fact that's
exactly the 'Mech that held the pole position on my TO DO list. But so far I had
always chickened out when it came to pick a new model to do. Until a couple of
days ago, when I finally started building the WH IIC with images of a great
future LEGO model in mind (and a certain deadline not to cross, as well).

I suppose one could say I work best when under a bit of stress and pressure, eh?
:)

4 years, wow. Well, that kind of occasion is also always a great opportunity to
thank my visitors for their ... well, for their visits of course. Special thanks
anyway go to those who contributed with their feedback in keeping me interested
and motivated, thus helping big time in keeping this site going on and on.
Thanks to all three of you! ;)


4 Years only?? It seems like your site has been around longer. Seems like it is
one of the only constantly updated lego mech sites out there. I see more new
mecha on brickcommander than brickshelf ;)
I understand you're a bit tired of my chattering now and really rather want to
get your present, right? Ok, drop by and download the dat-file, as always for
use with MLCad or other suitable viewing software, providing you with handy,
easy-to-use building instructions for a certain model I like to talk alot of
recently, as you may have noticed ...

You probably should know that since the WH IIC is supposed to be a unique
dat-file it has to be quite rare, and this is why approximately seven out of
eight downloads will fail. Sorry for the inconvenience ;)

So long, and thanks for all the bricks,

Also, on another note, your new mw4 catapult rocks. It has to be one of my
favorite models of yours so far! I look forward to many more updates on your
site :D
