The only thing I don't like are the feet...it looks like the bot (...) (19 years ago, 8-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| (...) Hello Keith, thank you for your comments. I didn't realise the feet looked like clown shoes unless you mentioned it. But they really do! I think it should be possible to built some feet which fit the overall design better. I'll try and post if (...) (19 years ago, 8-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| (...) Hey Nathan, I'm glad you like it. I had the idea of a mass produced bot. And as the parts used for Alpha are not rare ones it could even be "mass produced" with LEGO. It came up in yellow as some yellow bricks were laying around. I think I get (...) (19 years ago, 8-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Just as impressive is that you managed to make a scout walker that doesn't look like a SW Scout Walker. Well done, and (...) (19 years ago, 9-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)

I'm thinking about getting rid of all my LEGO in fancy red, blue and so on to speciallize on (...) (19 years ago, 9-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| (...) Wow, you made great use of some technic parts which I seem to have a ton of, and never find an application for. That's a very inventive joint structure. Nice work! (19 years ago, 17-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
