Hmm, about time I chimed in here. What can I say, but that I am
impressed by your work as always Eric. I am glad you got the lamp
working with out to many problems, did you manage to get the noise
down?
It looks good with the mech in it, and the B & W photo looks good. In
fact, the vent on the side for the fan actually enhances the style
furthar IMHO. I am now wishing I had some transparent baseplates! I
also note you spent time on the interior of the ceiling here -
something often forgotton on interiors.
Hmm - one thing left out is how the hatch for the pilot links up with
the gantries, would he board the mech in the bay?
Thanks for sharing it Eric, it looks good.

I did find that once the entire structure was in place, the weight on it pressing down making the vibration less as it was more solid, plus the weight of the inner gantry helps surpress the fan noise more so then (...)
