As mentioned in the abysmally long thread, I am also in. 9 months is enough time for this build. I only wish the scale were a tad bit bigger (18 inches), but 12 inches at the shoulder will be a nice scale challenge. -Dave (19 years ago, 22-Dec-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Several builders have privately agreed to do Soren's build anyway just for fun. The "group" for lack of a better term would like to re-open it to .mecha.

(...) Hi Eric, I actually intended that the inherent backlash in the z16s was exploited to turn them in a little after the positioning.
