(URL) Click on Image After seeing Kyle Vrieze's (URL) Spider Tank > I was floored. Naturally, I was amazed at the new bar Kyle had raised, and I promptly e-mailed him (due LUGNET posting technical difficulties). His MOC inspired this. Thanks Kyle! (...)

(...) Typically excellent Pejic sleekness. I love that turret shaping, and the checkerboard missile racks are nifty - I'm stealing that. I think you pulled off the wheeled-multiped look pretty well. I think it's overloaded with weapons though- maybe (...) (19 years ago, 18-Jun-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

I was going to drop those huge missiles launcher boxes, but I wanted to show them off so bad that I tacked them on at the last second. :-) A coaxial gun or (...)

(...) It's great that you were inspired by my Spider Tank, and it's also pretty cool that within the space of about a day, you're posting a MOC inspired by my last post, and I'm posting a MOC inspired by your last post. (...) Yeah, the Suborbital (...) (19 years ago, 18-Jun-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Awesome Spider tank mech man. I'm lovin the concealed wheels and the missiel rack design. The round wedge design sitting upon the top is also nifty. (19 years ago, 21-Jun-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Mladen, I can't believe you'd stoop to this level of nationalism: "Bushwhacker"? You evil Tank-Mecha driving Canadian, sure you can reduce Detroit to rubble, but you'll never break the American spirit! Although I've never been completely comfortable (...)

(...) Dictionary.com says "bushwhack" is basically synonymous with ambush and querrilla warfare. A bushwhacker, aside from being a general term for an ambusher, also refers to "a Confederate guerrilla during the American Civil War". So I dunno why (...)

Awesome as usual Mladen! First off, the coolest part about this mecha are the legs. They are absolutely beautiful. The wheels fit in perfectly and the ladders as detail are awesome. The rockets at an independant angle from the leg are so sweet. What (...) (19 years ago, 26-Jun-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) Thanks Geordan! I actually didn't think of the legs that way when I made them, but I like the way you describe them! :-D (...) Yah, maybe it's because the turret is a lot more faceted and complex, whereas the legs are smoother and, as you (...) (19 years ago, 27-Jun-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Mladen, as always this is simply breathtaking. I am taken especially by the smaller details, like the 1x2 trans tile that comprises the periscope lens. Smoke launchers, staggered missle pods. Nice. I understand the wheels and they're pretty cool, (...) (19 years ago, 30-Jun-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
