| | | Hi builders and buildettes, After being stuck at home for days with a partially collapsed lung (spontaneous pneumothorax for those in the know) for with the doctor says just 'rest' I had a good build session and finally got a mech done. It's been a (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| | | | | Hey Zac, this is a fantastic little mech. The greebling keeps it plenty busy and looks like a tank. The roundness of the legs sold me. The body looks a bit boxy for the size of it, but again, as a tank isn't too much of a hit. I like your variations (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) Thanks Mark, As a programmer I feel quite embarraced that I didn't do the ftx properly! At least I got the text links right! In my defence, it seems a really wierd 'language'. I'm glad you liked the model. Yeah boxy was the aim - I was (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

The AA guns are awesome, and look like they can depress to engage ground targets, which is what AA guns do most of the time when they're not firing (...)

The AA guns I love too (even more than the rocket pod yet funnily enough the guns were a lot less effort) and they do depress to about -5 degrees although the (...)

In other words, replace the black with a brighter colour. I think white would work well, or even a (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Red and blue are definite possibilities though - blue would have probably worked nice on the model. I see your point though - black was (...) (19 years ago, 26-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| | | | | Hi Zac, great job! I like the legs and feet. The details and the guns. But most of all I like that look of this bulky body heading straight foreward to blow away everything that's in the way. (4 URLs) Here you can see it the best! I tried this look (...)

I suppose that the moral of the story is never skimp on joints - in the long run making sacrifices for more sturdier joints is going to make the model more dynamic and thus better. And yeah I'm very happy with it's posability! (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| | | | | Zac, What can I say, This is just a well executed mecha. I love the amount of detail in such a small package. It kinda reminds me of a Cicada from Battletech, that is, until you added the AA guns. :) Keep on building! Jon (19 years ago, 26-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

I'm not familiar with the Cicada (not that I'm all that knowledgeable on Battletech in general) but from the sound of the name I'm glad I added the AA gun ;) (...) That I plan to do!

This mech rocks, but I have a couple of questions: Does the cockpit have a cup-holder, and is it legal in Kentucky? -Keith (19 years ago, 27-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

I tried to capitalise on this and build a battlesuit yesterday but unfortunately I was all juiced out :( No cup holders - United Space commanders found that (...)
