I'm not bothered by the color scheme. The colores fit together quite well. The (...) (19 years ago, 19-Nov-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) Well: I want to build a mecha with waaayy huge legs. I mean, big. I can't really explain well, I'm not great at passing on ideas without copious use of body language, but you'll see. Eventually. I also want to build a yellow and dark pink (...)

| | | | | | (...) I actually really, really like the fat legs. It reminds me a little of the Metropolis anime and some early anime stuff like Astroboy (Atom). Lovely retro feel to it. I think an extra plate thickness for the arms would add to this effect (...) (19 years ago, 20-Nov-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| | | | | (...) Wow, for a first mecha this is excellent! I think you go the basics of mecha building down pretty solid, the next thing you should work on is giving them a certain "feel" or personality. For example, I don't know whether this is a whacky (...) (19 years ago, 20-Nov-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| | | | | Nifty. I can tell it's pretty playable - always good, and I like the range of motion in the legs. You don't mind my asking, what are your influences? Soren (19 years ago, 20-Nov-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Regardless, I do like the poseability and the color scheme. Regards, David Rabadan (19 years ago, 21-Nov-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| | | | | I just had to log in and post since NOT posting would have been a crime. :) Excellent first model, Mo! I see LOTS of mobility there, and quite a few modern and not so modern influences in the design. I'll agree that the colorscheme is a bit iffy, (...) (19 years ago, 22-Nov-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| | | | Hi Mo, Nice mecha. The bubble head thing is very retro sci-fi, yet the body style is quite modern mecha. Its an odd mix. It puts me in mind of robbie spliced with an angular anime mecha body. I really like the body style, very posable, and well (...) (19 years ago, 22-Nov-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)
