| (...) It is small, but also very functional. The design speaks of utility. I suppose the simple colour scheme also adds to the utilitarian feel of it. I find I think of a wasp more than a ranger - perhaps "stinger" would haev been a good name for (...) (19 years ago, 22-Dec-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| Oh man! I really like this design! That cockpit is slick. The leg design with the stud connections is very cool, small but very nice. The whole thing is so cool. Wow, great job! How long did you say it took to build? Must have been satisfying to (...) (19 years ago, 22-Dec-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| (...) Very cool Marco! The yellow could be toned down in places, but otherwise the colour scheme is alright. Perhaps you could substitute the yellow for a third colour in some places. Maybe a dark grey, or even a white. I dunno... I'm just amazed (...) (19 years ago, 22-Dec-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Ranger

| (...) Very nice ,Marco This reminds me of some of my earlier mecha. I used to use black technic friction pins for joints like crazy! I like the boxy look of it all. I see that your three stud wide leg worked out better than the one I tried back int (...) (19 years ago, 22-Dec-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| (...) Thanks for the reply Bryce. (...) Starting with the legs, I couldn't change the primary design for the upper body. This and the small size lead to the martial look. (...) You're refering to Colin R. Gutierrez and Kyle Keppler from the LMHoF? (...) (19 years ago, 22-Dec-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| (...) Yeah I was reffering to Colin R. Gutierrez and Kyle Keppler. Sorry bout that. I often assume that everyone knows everyone. (19 years ago, 22-Dec-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Ranger

| (...) Thank you, Jon. (...) There are only friction pins in the weapons joints. The leg/feet use a 1x1 with two side studs. (...) I'm satisfied with that too. The legs and the upper body complement one another. (...) As I told Eric, one day I had (...) (19 years ago, 22-Dec-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| (...) So, thanks again for the copliment. I did think of the two of them imediately but wasn't sure. I don't think I had any kind of contact to one of them up to now. I only know their names and work, as they are members of the LMHoF. Marco (19 years ago, 23-Dec-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| Good job Marco. I really like your leg work, I mean your mecha's legs, I mean your legs, I mean...I should stop now. But no, this is great. I am always impressed by the little wonders and this one is neat. color simple, functional, blocky, tough (...) (19 years ago, 28-Dec-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Thanks again. (...) Keep building and of course running (...) (19 years ago, 28-Dec-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| (...) I gave it one afternoon to try out. My results were not satisfying. Due to the size the changes looked very blocky. I also missed some bricks in the colores I tried. What I found out is, replacing all the black with dark grey or even better (...) (19 years ago, 1-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
