i finally got to take pics and post them for my new mecha (sorry they suck--i took them during two different times of the day and i am still trying to get used to photoshop). anyway, i decided to finally make a gundam. "gunjin" was my first attempt, (...) (20 years ago, 3-Oct-04, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Hey great job Jason. (...) Well, the pictures are good enough to see how it is put together so its all good I say. (...) I keep toying with the idea of buiding a gundam just for fun, especially when MOCs like yours make it look so good. (...) Sure (...) (20 years ago, 3-Oct-04, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) oh, stop...i'm blushing! it's an honor hearing that from the master of the powered armor.

(...) Wow it is very well done. I especially like the head and ankle guards. I also see we come to same idea of using red wedge 2 x 6 for the foots. Does it stand stably on those click hinges? You should have cross-posted to announce.moc. I almost (...) (20 years ago, 3-Oct-04, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) well, sort of. i had to stiffen the click hinges by placing some metal wire between the plastic tabs (which is a reversible process, by the way). i also had to add a couple of 1x1 clips on top of the ankle guards to keep the model from tipping (...)

(...) These Pics suck? I enjoyed muchily. They are fine, really. The mecha is however beautiful. I appreciate the posability and positionaniblity, from standing to prone. Very nice. Neck motion was particuraily interesting for me. I wonder though if (...) (20 years ago, 4-Oct-04, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) I give it two big thumbs up (Lenny-style). It's BIG! The head looks great, love the tight color scheme, the prone firing pose, the rifle with an actual trigger (like your Eva's pistol), the lack of unsightly studs, I could go on, but I gotta (...)

(...) thanks! the color scheme was a last-minute decision. it originally had the traditional blue chest w/red highlights while the rest was gray. but since my gunjin had that same color scheme (and i really am getting tired of it), i decided to go (...)

dooooode, that is fantastic! Wow, the head is very very nice. The chest uses those wedge plates to advantage. The parts on the ankles are very cool. In fact the look and feel of the entire leg structure is very pleasing. The feet are well done. (...) (20 years ago, 4-Oct-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

This thing is beautiful. Your style reminds me of Gla-gla. Very clean, studless, and semi-greebly. Hurry up and build something else. -Brayton (20 years ago, 5-Oct-04, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) thanks, bro. the legs were the first component i worked on. in fact, the whole creation was built around the legs. it took awhile to come up with the right shape. my first attempt was a couple of years ago and its failure led to my "rotgeist".
